Demons in my toilet

Kent, England (AHN) — A Kent librarian who claims a ghost has been flushing his library’s toilet is seeking the help of an exorcist in having the unwanted spirit evicted. A 14-year librarian at the Gravesend Library, Gordon Jenns, 61, says the ghost flushes the toilet when he thinks everyone’s gone home. (via My Hero of the Day.)

This guy, perhaps?

Toilet Trouble

My toilet is obnoxious. Once a week or so I have to open up the tank and screw around with the mechanism. It's not that it's worn out or broken. It's defective by design. It involves a buoyant valve in the bottom of the tank which is lifted by a chain connected to a lever that extends from the flush handle.

The first problem is the way the chain is attached to the lever. A simple metal clip goes through a hole in the arm and a ring on the end of the chain. Every so often either the chain or the lever will slip out of the clip, disconnecting the mechanism. Usually the chain will fall into the valve and prevent it from closing.



The other problem is that the chain is long enough to become hooked under the valve's hinge, jamming everything up.



If I wasn't a looser renter I'd replace the whole setup with something that works better.

Bicycle TP holder

* Durable chrome finish is easy to keep clean.
* Genuine bicycle head tube and working headset.
* Simply flip the quick release lever to add a standard or large roll of your favorite toilet paper. Paper can pull from the back or front.
* Easy two bolt installation. Comes with detailed instructions.
* Proudly made by Park Tool.
* An ideal gift for the avid cyclist who seems to have everything.

Sadly, Park Tool no longer offers this gem. Although it's not toilet-related, I suggest the Campagnolo corkscrew as a substitute.

Massive Focused Action

I just cleaned and repaired my toilet. In most circles this would be nothing to boast about. However, I believe that it's more "rehab" than Casey ever did on any of his houses.
