Now you see it, now you don't.

A loo roll holder which is equipped with an infrared proximity sensor - whenever a hand is extended to grasp the paper, it promptly rewinds into the holder. Once the hand is removed, the paper cautiously re-emerges.

Prior Art. This idea is merely a response to [kaz]'s profferd Bun. [8th of 7, Oct 19 2009]

Make the whole bathroom evil. evil_20laugh_20activated_20hand_20dryer
And with Ian's suggestion, it could "taunt" as well. [blissmiss, Oct 19 2009]

Evil. Utterly evil.

Have the evil laugh hand dryer thingy, and we got a {{{realllll bathroom}}}. Not for the faint of heart. Guaranteed to scare the shit outta ya. Good for the constipated.

You could add a washbasin that emitted a deep, Satanic chuckle when the plug is pulled. Some washbasins almost do this already, so it can't be that difficult to engineer.

I'm waiting for a Mobius bog roll.

Would that not get a bit icky quite quickly?
-- kaz, Oct 20 2009


No, because although it has only one surface, that surface is effectively infinite - so it never runs out.

But when youtear off the sheetyou used, won't you break the strip, causing it become again a rather short long piece of paper? if you leave it on, then it will start to smell.
-- Rmac, Oct 20 2009


That is pretty much what I was going to say, although with slightly less spaces than I had planned.
-- kaz, Oct 20 2009


If you tear the roll just right, you simply get a longer mobius strip.
