It is amazing to know that the world's first flushable toilets were invented in Ancient Rome, which was when the system of flushing down the waste into a disposal system, albeit a hole in the ground was first created. The users could actually sit and go, and then flush happily. However, some people believe that it was British inventor Alexander Cumming who patented a toilet in 1775, and there are others who think that it was Thomas Crapper who was responsible for inventing the world's first flush toilet complete with a valve and siphon arrangement sometime during the early twentieth century. Nevertheless, the initial model of a flushable toilet has been improved upon, and today, the average person spends about three years of their lifetime sitting on the toilet, and then flushing! The world's first toilet paper was invented in England in the 1880's, at which time it was sold in single sheets! The infamous 'World Toilet Day' happens on the 19th of November every year.
