Ah, Science: Making Life Bearable

Scott Pinnizotto of San Francisco has come up with the next great evolutionary leap in toilet seatery:

Introduced nearly a year ago, the Swash is designed to transform a run-of-the-mill toilet into a bidet - a device that cleanses with a spray of warm water, relieving people from the hassles of toilet paper. The Swash features heated seats, too, and its top-of-line model also comes with a warm-air dryer and a remote control.

Apparently Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has thrown in on the throne as an investor.

The article concludes that both men are "flush" with money. If Pinnozotto's name isn't immediately familiar, he was the creator of Spinner.Com, an internet music service he dumped on AOL for $320 million six years ago.
