The Invention of Toilets

"It is only a toilet but it should show that even small things can bring beauty into our life.
We live only once and money making is not all.
It is harmony with beauty and harmony with nature which makes us really feel good.
Beauty has an important function.
Beauty is always underestimated."
-Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1999)

    Your public toilets are terrible then. Over here they are around shoulder height when sitting on the bowl and at least 20 inch away from the bowl itself. Having it hang is also a lot easier to pick and tear off instead of trying to get it when it sticks to the wall.

    +Justifyed Mattitude It's true. It was studied and they determined the fact that it takes longer for your eye to locate the toilet paper when it's faced inward, rather than outward. I actually saw a presentation about it at school years ago. Look it up. Anyway, I just prefer it outward because it's easier to grab.

The Pavillion of Nature was made in Hundertwasser's style,as he stayed in New Zealand. He was dead when it was built,but they found a document of him wanting to build it,so they did it and it was an EXACT REPLICA to his idea.

    The last point he made is actually quite important to me. George Carlin made a point that graveyards and golf fields should not exist as large as they do or not at all. In my opinion, death is a part of everything we have to do with. Think of the places you'd liked to be buried instead of in a wooden box. You take up place & not even given back to life after yours is done. I truly believe if we are to make improvements in this world, what we value & our customs must change.

    I arranged my burial at 24 to ensure I wouldn't have my body contaminate the earth with nasty chemicals preserving me, or causing air pollution when burnt. I get buried among native plant life in an unmarked grave with my approximate burial location plotted on a map. It is much cheaper than a traditional burial, but slightly more expensive than a cremation. I don't understand why you need to visit a body anyway, if you want to build a memorial dedicated to a person who has died where their loved ones can visit that makes some sense - but why the hell does their actual body have to be there?

    Well personally speaking, if you read the manga, you can read from any point. Normally I would recommend reading from Parts 1-6 or Parts 7&8. But when you read certain points just promise me one thing... when a villain or hero does something last minute to save the day, say, "By the power of deus ex machina." Trust me, it's worth it. The Joke was from Part 5: Vento Aureo (Golden Wind). Have fun searching! :P

    0:02 After he said "hang on a second" an ad started playing. Perfect timing. Song at 0:01 is Movement by Jake Chudnow if anyone was wondering.

    I did say someone, not right away the catholic church. Because clearly some fanatics had their dirty hands at works there. Relegion never is the absolute culprit but extremist fanatics which can easyly find each other within the ranks of big organisations.Since the Catholic church was the biggest one out there at the time, we just happened to get almost all of em in one place. It's not the dumb kind thats dangoures- it's the intelligent elite that poisens itself with fanatism and nazistic views which than can easiely influence everyone with less knowledge and power.
