Porcelain turns white after being fired. So toilets are white. They are porcelain as it is extremely sturdy and easy to keep clean.
Did you know that there are pubs in England that play Black Adder in the toilets? I was able to find a Black Adder toilet quote.
Red Baron: 'How lucky you English are to find the toilet so amusing. For us, it is a mundane and functional item. For you it is the basis of an entire culture.'
The Red Baron proceeds to tell Black Adder that a fate that is worse than death awaits him:
von Richthoven: But, instead, an even worse fate awaits you. Tomorrow, you will be taken back to Germany . . .
Black Adder: Here it comes!
von Richthoven: . . . to a convent school, outside Heidelberg, where you will spend the rest of the war teaching the young girls home economics.
Usually I get an email from betterphoto when my pictures are finalists and then winners. I was doing some work on my portfolio on betterphoto and found out that I'd won a Second Place in last month's contest, along with a Finalist for the collage of the Canadian flag.
Here's the Second Place picture - little orchids at Longwood.
