Space age toilets

There's a current drive here in Portland to offer more public toilets downtown. Not that I would ever use one myself, but I guess there's a need for homeless, tourists, and people with overactive bladder syndrome. Well in the paper this morning, there was an article about Seattle's problems with their high-tech public toilets. They had automatic sliding doors like on Star Trek that automatically open 10 minutes after someone has gone in, whether they're done or not. Well in the article, it talked about a women who was walking by one of these toilets right as the door swished open automatically like on the starship Enterprise, only instead of seeing Captain Kirk, she saw a naked homeless man trying to wash himself in the sink! When I told this to my brother, he instantly retorted with, "Set phasers to 'stunned'!" Classic.
