Hermes!

Elliot already uploaded the obligatory photo of the technologically advanced Japanese toilets, but his picture doesn't have Hermes the Hamster. Hermes has survived a surprisingly large number of traumatizing experiences (including the time Elliot threw him against the wall of my dorm room because he was upset that "the hamster a friend had sent me in the mail as a gift" wasn't actually a real, live hamster like he'd hoped) and has somehow survived mostly intact, minus his whiskers which are sitting at home on my desk in Texas. Don't ask.

Anyway, here's closer look at the epic toilet's various functions complete with illustrations follows--excuse the blurriness of the picture because my camera kind of fails: (Stop, Spray, Bidet, Water Pressure)


Lastly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELLIOT!
