I was reading an article on the Time.com website that the Japanese have designed (and introduced to the market) a new toilet that they say will cost $5,000!  Can you even imagine paying $5,000 for a toilet?  Sounds like they plan to have NASA put it on a rocket ship right?

Well, this toilet is amazing!  The lid lifts and shuts automatically, the seat is heated, and there is a built in night light.  It plays music, and it acts as a bidet (washing the bottom area) and then blow-drying it!  It has different flushing “speeds” so that you can determine how much water and force is used for flushing.  So you save money on water and toilet paper!  So after a few decades, maybe the toilet will end up paying for itself!
