Taking the Hot Seat

Nope this isn't about the incessant, bogus Democratic Congressional hearings.
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's leading toilet maker Toto Ltd. is offering free repairs for 180,000 bidet toilets after wiring problems caused several to catch fire, the company said Monday. The electric bidet accessory of Toto's Z series caught fire in three separate incidents between March 2006 and March 2007, according to company spokeswoman Emi Tanaka. "Fortunately, nobody was using the toilets when the fire broke out and there were no injuries," Tanaka said. "The fire would have been just under your buttocks."
In just a few decades, Japanese toilets have evolved from basic holes in the floor to space-age devices that look like they were designed to shoot you back in time. But reading the operating manual keeps you occupied while you're doing your bidness.
