For those who don't know ... today is Thomas Crapper Day.
Just what is Thomas Crapper Day and who is Thomas Crapper that he should have a day?!
Glad you asked.
Every time you flush the toilet you can thank Mr. (actually Sir) Thomas Crapper that you didn't have to make that long walk to the little building at the edge of the woods in sub-freezing or asphalt melting weather to get splinters in your posterior while hoping the Sears and Roebuck catalog wasn't all used up, yet.
Thomas Crapper is the man who invented the flushing toilet.
And his day is in celebration of the fact splinters are a thing of the past or at least those long walks are, that is.
That is what Thomas Crapper day is and who Thomas Crapper was.
