Hello, my name is Professor Toilet. Welcome to my online classroom. I am here to help you learn about the toilet and the science behind how it works. In Flushology, the syllabus is simple. The content here will help you understand:
1. The science (hydraulics) behind a really good flush.
2. The greening of toilet flushing
3. How to fix problems when the laws of physics are over-ruled by a poorly engineered toilet that results in clogging, leaking, ghost flushing and other stress-inducing symptoms.
Browse the site, educate yourself and happy flushing.

Celebrating World Toilet Day – The Big Squat
You may have thought the Professor was kidding about doing the Big Squat in honor of World Toilet day.
You would have been wrong.
One of our agency partners, Zeta Interactive, got into the mood big time:
The Big Squat from Zeta
While there’s nothing better than a bunch of creatives with a good toilet story, the Big Squat had a serious purpose: to help raise awareness for the 2.5 billion people who don’t have access to sanitation. Organized by the World Toilet Organization (the other WTO), donations to the cause are accepted here.

World Toilet Day – Health and Sanitation Also Means Thanking a Plumber
It’s World Toilet Day. A perfect day to hug your plumber.
The premise of World Toilet Day is to remind us all of the serious sanitation problems facing much of the world. Problems that affluent countries rarely think about. Until you study World History and learn about the Plague for the first time.
The first rate sanitary systems we enjoy in North America are indeed due to our advanced product technology, but also to the plumbers who protect the health of our nation every day.
So in honor of World Toilet Day, the Professor urges you to do three things:
1. Make a donation to your favorite clean water charity.
2. Go ahead and do the Big Squat.
3. Hug your plumber. And tell him or her “thanks.”
