Toilet Paper Tube Faces
Artist Junior Fritz Jacquet crumples and folds toilet paper rolls until they make faces displaying anguish, happiness, disgust and more. Once they’re folded right, he adds just a bit of color to help bring out their color and then they’re ready to go.

Comfort Wipe: Extension Arm to Wipe Your Behind
If you consider that the modern toilet paper was first introduced in 1857, the whole butt wipe thing is waaay due for a major advance.
Ancient Romans used to wipe their butts after going to the bathroom with a sponge on a stick (which they put in a bucket of saltwater after they’re done for reuse – Eew!) – so, in a nod to history, here’s Comfort Wipe: a stick that lets you wipe your behind without ever coming close to touching it with your bare hands.
Now, before you recoil in horror, consider that this invention is actually quite useful for people with limited range of motion due to disability. Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] – via AdFreak

Your Butt is Killing the Rainforest
Here’s something for you to ponder the next time you’re in the bathroom: American’s love for soft toilet paper is ecologically hard on forests!
… fluffiness comes at a price: millions of trees harvested in North America and in Latin American countries, including some percentage of trees from rare old-growth forests in Canada. Although toilet tissue can be made at similar cost from recycled material, it is the fiber taken from standing trees that help give it that plush feel, and most large manufacturers rely on them.
Customers “demand soft and comfortable,” said James Malone, a spokesman for Georgia Pacific, the maker of Quilted Northern. “Recycled fiber cannot do it.” [...]
Though most of the pulp comes from tree farms, but not all:
Although brands differ, 25 percent to 50 percent of the pulp used to make toilet paper in this country comes from tree farms in South America and the United States. The rest, environmental groups say, comes mostly from old, second-growth forests that serve as important absorbers of carbon dioxide, the main heat-trapping gas linked to global warming. In addition, some of the pulp comes from the last virgin North American forests, which are an irreplaceable habitat for a variety of endangered species, environmental groups say.

Sarah Palin Toilet Paper
I know Neatorama isn’t a political blog, (yet another thing I love about it), but I just couldn’t resist the chance to share this special Sarah Palin toilet paper. Regardless of your own political affiliation, you have to admit, it takes a special person to have a toilet paper printed with your face on it.
Maybe you never liked Palin, maybe you’re just upset at her for losing the election, but whatever your reason for wanting to buy this, it’s still going to run you a pretty hefty $9. So I guess you’d better really want it.
Also, if this floats your boat, you may enjoy the John McCain punching bag for the same reason.

Man Tried to Pay Parking Ticket with Toilet Paper Check
Remember the New Jersey man who tried to pay his traffic ticket with pennies? Well, in a courageous display of one-upmanship, here’s what one British guy did: he paid his parking ticket with a check written on a toilet paper!
It was a very British protest – cocking a snook at overbearing authorities while staying within the law. But Dick Roper’s glow of pleasure at using two sheets of toilet paper to write a cheque for a parking ticket was short lived.
Although Her Majesty’s Court Service said they would accept the £30 cheque, they demanded an extra £15 to cover the fee for cashing it.
When the 63-year-old grandfather refused, he was dragged to court for non-payment of a fine. He took advantage of his day in court by reading out a letter he sent to the Court Service in which he described the police community support officer who slapped a ticket on his car as a ’snake’. Everyone, including the judge, was laughing as he described the man ’slithering’ home at the end of the day ‘to digest the evil he had done’.
The judge in Mr. Roper’s case had a sense of humor:
When the district judge asked what he would have done if a customer had paid with a cheque written on toilet paper, he replied: ‘I would pay the cheque in and send them a receipt on toilet paper.’

Puzzle Game Toilet Paper Dispenser
I imagine this puzzle game would be funny for about 10 seconds, and then your friends are going to start yelling for some TP… or they will put your guest towels to ingenious use, as John Brownlee from BoingBoing Gadgets puts it.
