Sphinx toilet paper holder

For guest bathrooms.

BorgCo are pleased to announce their latest home entertainment offering; a toilet roll holder with a model of the Sphinx mounted on top.

When the infrared sensors detect the presence of a toilet user, the eyes light up and the Sphinx then requests them to give their age. It then demands for "thee to answer my questions three" of a difficulty and content appropriate to the age of the user.

Voice recognition software analyzes the responses and if correct, releases the clutch on the roll; otherwise it waits until the room has been has been vacated for five minutes before resetting.

Guaranteed to break the ice at parties.

NB beware if asked your favourite colour.

       Yeah, I love it too. This would be funny in public cubicles, with everyone settled down, whispering frantically to their respective Sphinx.   

       Toilet attendants might do a side-line in riddles so as to help-out their charges should they find themselves in a tight spot.

       Imagining the graffiti scrawled on a toilet wall:
Look upon my works, and despair!

I'm just going for a Jimmy Riddle.

       Or "Britain's got ExLax" and the viewers get to vote on who gets the easy questions from the Sphinx..

       //if its cruel to puppies there will be trouble. — po, Dec 10 2009// Especially if the puppy starts chewing up the roll of toilet paper.

       It could be a cute Sphinx puppy (kitten ? cub ? chick ? calf ? Anyone know what a baby Sphinx is called ?)

       OK, you get my vote, but my 8 year old's way too smart for this, but still has not learned proper judgment in TP consumption, so there's a minor flaw in the design there...

       If you buy the top-of-the-range model it has heuristic software and a web connection for question library updates.
