    Yes.

    I also occasionally take my teeny little netbook in there because it is not powerful enough to generate much heat.

    I have several times had the problem of sitting there way longer than I had any business doing.

    This software just tried to correct 'accommodation' to 'accomodation' and then when I accidentally confirmed it wanted to correct it right back anyway :?

    Nah, that would imply i have people to text.

    Instead i bring a book, because it's the only time i feel like reading lately.

    When I was growing up my best friend used to keep archie comics next to the toilet.

    It was both apropos and addictive.

    reading books on electronic devices just doesn't click with me

    I find I am unable to focus and my eyes start hurting

    I need some proper paper-and-cover books to actually make any significant headway

    I don't mind it in the abstract but I spend most of my day working in front of a computer screen and then I find the last thing I want to do when I get home is read on something similar. And the kindle screen is too dark.

    but for travelling I do like having several long novels in my tablet, it is very convenient.

    So one time I had my iPhone 3G in my back pocket when I walked into the bathroom, forgot it was there

    Took down pants, had not sat, hear "plop!"

    iPhone in toilet

    Scream, fish it out (thank god I hadn't used it)

    Sit it in a window for 3 days, proceed to use it for 8 additional months

    did any of you guys get that book about gross facts when you were a kid, it came with a big plastic cockroach attached to the front

    because that book taught me that flushing the toilet sends tiny poop particulate up in the air to settle on everything and i haven't flushed a toilet with the lid up in over a decade because of that book

    right now I'm reading Vallance's "The Glorious Revolution" while I'm doing my poopin'

    I'd like to think there's a joke to be made there somewhere but I can't seem to find it

    If I forget to bring my phone to the bathroom I end up reading the Archie comic. I have one Archie comic that has been sitting next to my toilet for over a year now. It wasn't even particularly entertaining the first time I read it, but I have developed an involuntary response where as soon as I sit down on the toilet I immediately pick it up and start reading. The only way to avoid this is if I have some other form of entertainment. It has reached the point where I will enter the bathroom, realize I forgot my phone, and go back to get it not because I have urgent phone business to conduct but because I don't want to suffer through any more Archie.

    There are mites that live in the pores on everyone's face

    They come out at night to feed

    It gets worse, don't click if you don't want to know
    then they defecate in your pores
