> I think it is just a conversation piece personally.I think it is a very practical thing. For one thing, I don't want my cats drinking from it. For another, I don't want things falling in it. I've heard that stuff flies out when you flush too, but I'm more concerned about unauthorized things falling into it. Plus it does make a convienient seat when I want to talk to someone in the tub. I'm sure I'll use to to wash the kids too, when I have them.
