Toilet bowl doubles as a barbecue

The US generally misses out on the high-tech toilet gadgetry that is often found in Japan. Companies have tried to spark interest in the American market, but the demand just isn't there, despite the potential for some really neat products. Regardless, toilets continue to get increasingly complex elsewhere, and with that complexity comes a variety of new potential problems, as demonstrated by the recent recall of 180,000 Toto Ltd. bowls.

The company's recalled Z series bowl apparently incorporates electric bidets with faulty wiring. This has resulted in flames near the most unfortunate of areas, in addition to numerous smoking incidents.

Perhaps this is one instance where our simple seating may have saved our collective rears. Still, I would gladly accept a toilet with a built-in cockpit-like control panel.
