New Toilet Technology

Who has the most innovative toilets? According to the New Bathroom Idea Book, it may be the Japanese. "More homes in Japan have toilet jet sprays than have personal computers." I'm not sure I need a jet spray to wash my backside, but here are a few innovations the Japanese are seeing in their toilets today:

• Toilets with selectable soundtracks that include such sounds as chirping birds, wind chimes, and Japanese harps
• Toilet seats with built-in electrodes that apply an electric probe to the buttocks to measure the sitter's body fat percentage
• Toilets that measure sugar levels in the urine
• Toilets with air conditioning and heating controls to easily set the temperature in the bathroom at a preprogrammed time
