If you wanna be healthy, ya gotta get down with brown.

I have always felt that indoor plumbing has been the pinnacle of human achievement. Showers to rid our skin of nastiness; sinks that deliver (more or less) clean water for washing, brushing, and drinking; and the humble toilet that whisks away waste products like nobodies business. It is easy to take these marvels for granted, but here in the U.S. we don't need to boil our water to make it potable, we don't need to worry about feces contaminating our water supply and giving us cholera, and even social illnesses like B.O. are conquered by judicious application of indoor plumbing. It does not get any better than this.
