The Greek god Photon, here depicted with a
hand and one of his arms missing.
Photon was the product of the marriage of the Greek
god Hermes and the goddess Aurora. He was half brother
to Barbia, the buxom Priestess of the Winds on Crete,
whose father was also Hermes. He was also half-brother
of Daphne, whose father was also Hermes. Some say he
was half-brother to Pan, whose father was also Hermes,
though this is contested.
Photon is the Greek god of photography. His role is
to follow his mother Aurora across the sky during the
day, carrying light to the mortal world. At night or
in low light conditions he lives inside lamps and/or
speedlights.

Ah, nothing like the pleasures of idle speculation. :up:
Well, "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit", you know. Someone called the other day looking for a temperature sender/gauge for a '52 MG. I rummaged around online after exhausting my usual go-to gurus-for-hard-to-find-shit. After an hour, I called the guy back and left a message: 'The part you're looking for is on pan-dimensional backorder.' He was less than pleased. My boss was giggling like a schoolgirl. :p

Semi-related: I just read a feature in one of Denmark's most prestigous newspapers about the tradition of bathroom reading. Research proves that one third of the male population of the Western world enjoys reading while sitting on the toilet. And not magazines or comics but real books. Also, great literates as Marcel Proust, James Joyce and Henry Miller have all written about their personal bathroom reading habits. Lord Chesterfield, for one, claimed he completed reading the entire works of Horats while in 'the small room'. That's what I call a bad case of constipation…
Interesting. I've never done that myself. Seems…just wrong somehow. Of course I should mention that ordinarily I am the type who just goes in, finishes in about 3 minutes, and gets out. No time for reading anyway. I mean the way I look at it if you have to sit there on the john for 10 minutes, then you really didn't have to go in the first place.Although a lot of people do it — what you said above, one-third of the male population. If women do it, I wonder what they read?
I'd have to assume it was not read all at one go. 😆 If I'm reading and feel the need to use "the small room", I'll not stop because of that. I have been known to leave a book in the bathroom, if it's a long one… :left: 😀
The article can be found here. I suppose an academic use of Google Translate will do it for you guys. They've interviewed an expert in gastro-intestinal disorders about it, and he says, that finishing off in a few minutes is the best thing to do, because sitting too long like that with your rectum stretched out is extremely unhealthy.I'm not a 'privy reader' myself, because I have a radio in the bathroom, and I just turn that on, if I need some entertainment while doing what I came for. Normally I just sit and hum a silly tune till I'm finished.
:sherlock: interesting reading. On or off the throne.
I used to read in the bathroom but stopped doing that while sitting on the throne years ago; however, I did read while taking a soaking bath (I don't have a bathtub here darn it)My brother is a notorious pot reader. He's being doing it ever since I can remember and isn't unknown to stay in the bathroom for 20 minutes because of it. Even now, he has a magazine rack full of reading material next to the commode in the master bath.
I read novels.
