While editing Wiki, I sometimes come across such wonderful gems. This truly is the most informative and interesting article on the history of the toilet paper holder that I have ever come across. Enjoy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bishonen/European_toilet_paper_holder) :cool:

In Greece, the Spartans, who favoured the manly virtues of toughness and disregard for bodily comfort, preferred bowls of freshly-harvested thistles and stinging nettles, a habit that led to frequent, heartfelt cries of Oi moi! Aoi Lacedaemonai (Greek: Οι μοι ! Αοι Λακεδαιμωναι!).

I thought the claim about the bluestone holes around Stonehenge was amusing.
