>No. 25 already exists. We were at some friends of ours house warming party a couple of weeks ago (they are millionaires and bought a super large luxury home, looks like Beverly Hills mansion) and they had the toilet (and demoed to us) that raises the seat as you approach. Then it lowers automatically. It does (I believe) a couple of other tricks. So we just need to work on the first 24 items.
Ah, but I think that is a Japanese device ( and I think the other tricks involve anime, underage girls and tentacle porn ) We need an American solution !
Personally, I've always thought the technology was there to design a woman who is smart enough to figure out whether the seat was up or down before using the toilet.
My wife insists the toilet lid be kept closed, so I have adopted a policy of closing the lid *before* using the toilet - just so I don't forget.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
