Happy birthday to YOUUUUUUUUUU............ V

[Ponce]

August 26, 526, is the official anniversary of the invention of toilet paper by the Chinese. We celebrate this, though not because of its convenience. In fact, it has many shortcomings, some which are described within the articles and letters of SurvivalBlog. Our celebration of it is primarily because we now have an official metric of just how hard core of a prepper you are as well as a metric for just how economically unstable your country is.

Who Invented Toilet Paper?Today it’s difficult to imagine life without toilet paper. The evolution of toilet paper is an interesting story and the toilet paper has an amazing past.
If we could travel back in time, what would we found about the first use of toilet paper? Who invented toilet paper? Who was using paper for personal hygiene? Who invented modern toilet paper roll?
Nobody is too sure when toilet paper was first used. Before the invention of toilet paper, people from different parts of the world had many different ideas for personal hygiene. Some people used stones or sponges (especially rich Romans), but a variety of other things were used also.http://www.toiletpaperhistory.net/images/2/toilet-paper-single-roll/small/Toilet-Paper-Roll-7.jpg
The first “official” toilet paper was introduced in China in 1391, but the first mention of toilet paper (paper for personal hygiene) dates back to the year 589 AD in Korea. Between 875 and 1317 AD, paper was produced in large sheets (2-foot x 3-foot sheets and even perfumed) for Chinese emperor’s family hygiene.
In the Colonial America, the common means was corncobs.
Paper was a rare commodity until the 17th or 18th centuries. The first reference to paper as toilet paper was recorded in 1718. After invention of paper pages from newspapers and magazines were also commonly used (newspapers became widely available at 1700s.)
Joseph C. Gayetty invented the first packaged toilet paper in the United States in 1857. Joseph C. Gayetty is credited as the inventor of modern commercially available toilet paper. "Gayetty’s Medicated Paper" was sold in packages of flat sheets, medicated with aloe and watermarked with his name. Gayety’s toilet paper was available as late as the 1920's.
In 1871, Seth Wheeler (to some sources Zeth Wheeler) of Albany became the official “inventor” of toilet paper. Seth Wheeler patents rolled and perforated wrapping paper. His Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company began selling the first toilet paper on a roll.
Rolled and perforated toilet paper was invented around 1880. In 1879, Thomas Seymour, Edward Irvin and Clarence Wood Scott founded the Scott Paper Company in Philadelphia. Scott brothers came up with the idea of customizing rolls for every merchant-customer they had. They began selling packages of small rolls and stacked sheets. Scott Paper Company began producing toilet paper under its own brand name in 1896. By 1925 Scott Company became the leading toilet paper company in the world.
The first documented use of a roll of toilet paper was in 1882 in New York State.

Funny thing was last night I dreamt of seeing a guy, a hobo, using a wooden stick to clean his anus and rectum. I was bewildered. Nothing gayette about the dream, if anyone wondered...

Australian company sells $1.3M 22-karat gold toilet paper (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/australian-company-sells-1-3m-22-karat-gold-toilet-paper-article-1.1493909)


Fancy throwing your money straight down the toilet?

Then this blinged-out 22-karat gold toilet paper, which sells for a staggering $1.3 million per roll, could be for you.

Australian company Toilet Paper Man developed the extravagant three-ply wiper after using fully golden thrones in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

Just one roll, which has gold flakes running through and comes with a free bottle of champagne, has been made so far.

"This is the most expensive toilet paper roll in the world. A quality 3-ply toilet paper with 22-carat gold through the roll," the product's website boasts.

"As you use the toilet paper 22-carat gold flakes will fall onto the floor and your behind taking you to another level of sophistication," it adds.

"We have only been able to produce one roll at this stage. Naturally it comes gift wrapped. This is 100 per cent useable and safe and made proudly in Australia," it says in conclusion.

News of the uber-luxurious roll has caused quite a stir online, but, perhaps unsurprisingly, the company has yet to make a sale, reports the Phoenix New Times.

Ponce, why don't you do a little celebrating today?

Neuro, not that I'm some dream analysist expert, but I'd recommend a few days off from work for rest. It seems you have been working to much. I also think a visit to strip club might be a good idea too. One good night out with the guys at the club with drinks should take care of this, so it never happens again.

A few notable toilet paper innovations that came along were:


Rolled and perforated toilet paper made by the Albany Perforating Wrapping Paper Company in 1877 and shortly after the Scott Paper company in 1879.
In 1935 Northern Tissue boasted a “splinter free” toilet tissue, which would seem to imply that it was somewhat common for toilet tissue to have the occasional splinter before that due to poor manufacturing techniques of the day.
In 1942, St. Andrew’s paper mill in Great Britain introduced two-ply toilet paper.
In the 1990’s several toilet paper manufacturers began offering toilet paper treated with aloe, which they called a “great innovation”… as Joseph Gayetty rolls over in his grave.


Bonus Facts:



44% of people wipe from front to back
42% fold the tissue after wiping
33% crumple
8% fold and then crumple
6% wrap it around their hands
Johnny Carson once caused a near month long toilet paper shortage in the U.S. in December of 1973. In his show, he said, “You know what’s disappearing from the supermarket shelves? Toilet paper… There’s an acute shortage of toilet paper in the United States.” Americans promptly went out and bought up every piece of toilet paper they could find. Supermarkets tried to ration it, but to no avail. By noon the next day, pretty much all the nation’s supermarkets were sold out. After several days of toilet paper shortages due to this hysteria, Carson went on the air to try to explain it had been a joke and apologized. But because the shelves were almost always empty of toilet paper at this time, whenever some would come in, people would buy it all and hoard it. This toilet paper shortage lasted a full three weeks.

Haha! I've had almost 4 weeks of holiday, but I've been restoring the attic of another house I have, so I've been working quite a lot... Should get better when I get back to work... ;D Anyhoe there are no strip clubs in a 200 mile radius from where I live in Sweden... Strange dream, indeed! :)

You will never know what you had till you loose it........I have use it all from river rocks, grass, leaves, sticks and so on, but toilet paper is the one that I appreciate the most...........I use it from the back to the front and stop about 1/8 of an inch after the hole, and I still say to take most of the hair from the general are as to not carry out the left over.

I find it interesting that the toilet wasn't invented for more than 1000 years after toilet paper. Those chinese know how to get in on the ground floor. Is this a case of which came first, the?

Are we putting the cart before the horse if TP came out before the porcelain throne?
