That I have developed a paranoia... that the little autoflush units in public restrooms are really just cameras hidden behind the squares of smokey glass on the sensor array that feed back to a dwarfish little man in a dingy control room somplace whos job it is would be to push the button that flushes the toilet when we walk away.

I can test/confirm that paranoia by walking up to the urinal and placing my hand in front of the sensor for a few seconds, then removing it, and the toilet doesn't flush. It's like he KNOWS I was testing him, and didn't push the button.

Oh my yes.

Interesting conclusion...and after seeing all the speed cameras and security cameras in place -- especially in and around Washington DC where I work and live...I suspect not too far fetched.

Paranoia…nah

It is no worse than the guy that I know sits in an insignificant office on an insignificant planet in an insignificant corner of the universe that is watching me constantly and on occasion pushes thte button labeled give Xue a bad day and then he just sit backs a laughs :D

Cryo... you've got a good theory. Yes, now I understand that it's scary so just calm down for a moment. You're okay, you're at home where the toilet doesn't flush until YOU want it to.
Now, don't be frighten but some guys are coming over to see you. They'll have white coats on and a very neat special jacket just for you to wear. Never mind that it doesn't have sleeves or buckles up in the back... it's okay. You're going on vacation away from auto technology that makes us lazier each day. A nice room with no furniture and nice soft walls that you can bang your head against without hurt... all day.
So just rest and wait.

You're going to be alright.

:rolleyes:

I think Cryo is right AND I think the Flush Dwarfs are in leage with the little people that live in the vending machins and eat my change and refuse to give me my Soda! Evil little Sprites! They are probably Unionized! GRRRRRRR!

On that note and if I take it as there being a dwarf... I can say I've been mooning people!!! However, explain why we're still able to flush it if we need to, by pushing that little black button near the eye?

I dunno, everytime I turn mine on, all I see is a big eye with words floating around it that say "Play" "Speical Features" and "Chapters" and its on every channel, so I dont turn it on much anymore.

The only way to be certain is to pee on the little window and see if the Flush Dwarf comes out to clean it off.

But I guess the real question here is, what do you have against gainful employment for the vertically challenged? Don't tell me you're one of those Randy Newman types.

Ok, so I put the tape over it and the Toilet didnt flush. I tried several attempts. I went back in just now, and the tape is gone.

See? See? Dingy little room, toilet flush dwarf.

Told you.

I'm just an average man
With an average life
I work from 9 to 5
Hey, hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone
In my average home
But why do i always feel
Like I'm in the Twilight zone and--

I always feel like
Somebody's Watchin' me

And I have no privacy

I always feel like
Somebody's watchin' me

Tell me is it just a dream?

When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight (SLAM)
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid
Or can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower-I'm afraid to wash my hair
'Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
People say I'm crazy.....just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of "Psycho" too much
That's why--

I always feel like
Somebody's watchin' me

And I have no privacy

I always feel like
Somebody's watchin' me

Who's playin' tricks on me?

I don't know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me?
Well is the mailman watching me?

And I don't feel safe anymore--oh what a mess!
I wonder who's watching me now (BOO!) --The IRS?
