Hearing Nothing at the moment
What water is cleaner, the water from a toilet bowl, or the water from a junior high school water fountain? Well, if it was from the water fountain, what are the chances I'd actually link to the story?
Kyleray Katherman, 13, used Q-tips and petri dishes, swabbing the spigots of four fountains and sampling one toilet, dunking the cotton in the bowl's center and then dragging it around the rim for a complete sample.
He took the results to the school lab put them under a light to speed up the bacteria's growth.
The petri dishes with fountain water were swarming with bacteria. The sample from the toilet was clean, probably because the toilets are doused with cleansing chemicals daily.
All of which precipitated the comment from the school principal: "You'd be surprised how clean the water is in a toilet." To which my dog says "Yeah, not so much." And my wife says "It'd be even cleaner if you scrubbed the toilet like I told you to." Everyone's a critic.
Please don't drink from the toilet.
