It was an old book, so I don't know if it is still in print anymore though.

I always did wonder if this myth was just a load of sanitation. So, did Mr. Crapper invent the plunger, too? Or is there a John Plunger out there we should mythologize? What a Charmin story!

They were so ahead of their times not just in plumbing but overall being a modern civilization. Funny thing is, we never realized what awesome history we were living next too because we studied it in school etc and it lost its significance. But now as a grown up, I really appreciate it.

Maybe someday soon the myth will be completely "flushed" from the public's perception. Thanks for keeping up the “movement” to perpetrate the truth of this matter.
