The Shit Affair

[SaveMe Oh]

Yesterday night I was unfortunately too late for the photoexpo from Tim Deschanel in the camera obscura series in CARP but when I went there I found a furious Luce Laval screaming there. The Italian artist could almost not control her anger because owner of CARP, Velazques Bonetto, stole her idea from toiletpaper. She claimed that she did toiletworks already long ago in an ARENA installation. ” The shit I make is much better then this shit from Vela” Luce cried out loud, “why can’t he invent his own shit, why does he have to put his big nose in my shit” Luce screamed. To show her unhappyness with the situation she farted loud in the direction of one of Vela’s creations. She just wanted to pass a complaint to Lindenlabs when Marcel Duchamp entered the exposition and urinated in Luce’s hat.

Hahaha, and all of that for a history of shit, toilet paper and toilet, it makes me laugh even if it is serious !

One little piece of shit can have huge consequences.

In this regard, some may find the following passage illuminating...

"Most of the domesticated primates of Planet Earth did not know they were primates.They thought they were something apart from and "superior" to the rest of the planet.

[is...] constantly alarmed and terrified by the behavior of himself, his friends and associates and especially the alpha-males of the pack. Since he didn't know it was ordinary primate behavior, it seemed just awful to him.

Since a great deal of primate behavior was considered just awful, most of the domesticated primates spent most of their time trying to conceal what they were doing. Some of the primates got caught by other primates. All of the primates lived in dread of getting caught.

Those who got caught were called no-good shits. The term no-good shit was a deep expression of primate psychology. For instance, one wild primate (a chimpanzee) taught sign language by two domesticated primates (scientists) spontaneously put together the signs for "shit" and "scientist" to describe a scientist she didn't like. She was calling him shit-scientist. She also put together the signs for "shit" and "chimpanzee" for another chimpanzee she didn't like. She was calling him shit-chimpanzee.

"You no-good shit," domesticated primates often said to each other.

>This metaphor was deep in primate psychology because primates mark their territories with excretions, and sometimes they threw excretions at each other when disputing over territories.

One primate wrote a long book describing in vivid detail how his political enemies should be punished. He imagined them in an enormous hole in the ground, with flames and smoke and rivers of shit. This primate was named Dante Alighieri.

Another primate wrote that every primate infant goes through a stage of being chiefly concerned with bio-survival, i.e., food, i.e., Mommie's Titty. He called this the Oral Stage. He said the infant next went on to a stage of learning mammalian politics, i.e., recognizing the Father (alpha-male) and his Authority and territorial demands. He called this, with an insight that few primates shared, the Anal Stage.

This primate was named Freud. He had taken his own nervous system apart and examined its component circuits by periodically altering its structure with neurochemicals.

Among the anal insults exchanged by domesticated primates when fighting for their space were: "Up your ass," "Go shit in your hat," "You're full of shit," and many others.

When primates went to war or got violent in other ways, they always said they were about to knock the shit out of the enemy.

They also spoke of dumping on each other."

in october 2009 Josina Burgess build her first toilet Without flush in SL , showed it to velazquez that improved it into the flushing toilets shown at Camera Obscura Tim Deschanel.
Hereby I declare that luce Laval started a really Shit conversation.

[SaveMe Oh]

In 2007 SaveMe Oh was already known for flushing visitors on her exhibition through a royal flush toilet she found as a freebee.

[Velazquez Bonetto]

Anyway, i am ready to declare:
1. the first using a flush toilet in a metaverse art installation: 2008 December by Luce Laval (arena) “That's one small step for an artist… one… giant leap for the mankind."
2. the first using two flushing toilets with jet flushing and integrated flushometer in a metaverse exhibition architecture 2009 October by Velazquez Bonetto (camera obscura Tim Deschanel)

I cant invent my own shit because this shit always invented.

The history of the flush toilet

As with many inventions, the flush toilet was the result of a long development. Therefore, instead of a single name and date, there follows a list of significant contributions to the history of the device.

* circa 26th century BC: Flush toilets were first used in the Indus Valley Civilization. The cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro had a flush toilet in almost every house, attached to a sophisticated sewage system. [2]
* circa 18th century BC: Flush toilet constructed at Knossos on Minoan Crete[3]
* circa 15th century BC: Flush toilets used in the Minoan city of Akrotiri.[citation needed]
* 9th century BC: Flush toilets in Bahrain Island.[4]
* 1st to 5th centuries AD: Flush toilets were used throughout the Roman Empire. Some examples include those at Vindolanda on Hadrian's Wall in Britain. With the fall of the Roman Empire, the technology was lost in the West.[citation needed]
* 1596: Sir John Harington published A New Discourse of a Stale Subject, Called the Metamorphosis of Ajax, describing a forerunner to the modern flush toilet. The design had a flush valve to let water out of the tank, and a wash-down design to empty the bowl. He installed one for his godmother Elizabeth I of England at Richmond Palace, although she refused to use it because it made too much noise.[citation needed] The Ajax was not taken up on a wide scale in England, but was adopted in France under the name Angrez.
* 1738: A valve-type flush toilet was invented by J. F. Brondel.
* 1775: Alexander Cummings invented the S-trap (British patent no. 814?), still in use today, which uses standing water to seal the outlet of the bowl, preventing the escape of foul air from the sewer. His design had a sliding valve in the bowl outlet above the trap.
* 1777: Samuel Prosser invented and patented the 'plunger closet'.
* 1778: Joseph Bramah invented a hinged valve or 'crank valve' that sealed the bottom of the bowl, and a float valve system for the flush tank. His design was used mainly on boats.
* 1819: Albert Giblin received British patent 4990 for the "Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer", a siphon discharge system.
* 1852: J. G. Jennings invented a wash-out design with a shallow pan emptying into an S-trap.
* 1857: The first American patent for a toilet, the 'plunger closet', was granted.
* 1858: The first flush toilets on the European continent may have been the three "waterclosets" installed in the new town house of banker Nicolay August Andresen on 6 Kirkegaten in Christiania, insured in January 1859. The toilets were probably imported from England, as they were referred to by the English term "waterclosets" in the insurance ledger.
* 1860: Another early watercloset on the European continent was also imported from England. It was installed in the rooms of Queen Victoria in castle Ehrenburg (Coburg, Germany); she was the only one who was allowed to use it.
* The first popularized water closets were exhibited at The Crystal Palace and these became the first public toilets. They had attendants dressed in white and customers were charged a penny for use. This is the origin of the phrase "To spend a penny".
* 1880s: Thomas Crapper's plumbing company built flush toilets of Giblin's design. After the company received a royal warrant, Crapper's name became synonymous with flush toilets. Although he was not the original inventor, Crapper popularized the siphon system for emptying the tank, replacing the earlier floating valve system which was prone to leaks. Some of Crapper's designs were made by Thomas Twyford. The similarity between Crapper's name and the much older word crap is a coincidence.
* 1885: Thomas Twyford built the first one-piece china toilet using the flush-out siphon design by J. G. Jennings.
* 1886: An early jet flush toilet was manufactured by the Beaufort Works in Chelsea, England.
* 1906: William Elvis Sloan invented the Flushometer, which used pressurized water directly from the supply line for faster recycle time between flushes. The original Royal Flushometer is still in use today in public restrooms worldwide.
* 1907: Thomas MacAvity Stewart of Saint John, New Brunswick patented the vortex-flushing toilet bowl, which creates a self cleansing effect.[5]
* 1980: Bruce Thompson, working for Caroma in Australia, developed the Duoset cistern with two buttons and two flush volumes as a water-saving measure. Modern versions of the Duoset are now available worldwide, and save the average household 67% of their normal water usage.
