So is not bathing and wearing lice infected animal skins.

Haha Point taken! Although I'd be more willing to try a squat drop than a lice infested animal skin.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

From experience, the squat position is odd, but much more efficient at "clearing out the werks," as it were.

And it were.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Exian, I watched that awful movie.

Lol, it was awful in pretty much every sense of the word. I was thoroughly grossed out and felt super dirty watching it, but was curious to keep seeing what horrible thing would be next!

Thanks a lot, jerk! I'm pretty sure I'll have nightmares for a week now...
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Lol That was my suspicion! I also imagine there's less effort required to a degree.

I squat over the toilets at the rec center I go to - frequented by kids, doesn't have seat covers and I'm usually in a hurry to get back to my gym class.

Squatting is one of my various strategies, usually the one I use when I'm in a hurry.

I can tell you the effort is more effortless when you have one rock solid support directly beneath your center of gravity, as it were, then if you are teetering on two much more uncertain points of ground contact.    Also the after action clean up is cleaner when there is less chance of toilet paper falling outside.

I see your point Chuck, but I'm still moving forward with the permanent seat level foot rest installment. I'mma do my best Peepers impression.
