You just spray some in the pot before you poop, and voila! it captures the poop particles in the turlet. Not 100% because there is some travel time from hole to water. This is science.
This is also my favorite post.
for a very brief moment my brain read
"Not 100% because there is some time travel from hole to water."
... and I thought, wow!
I'm over it now though.
Anyone else misread something in the forums that made them go wow?

I didn't get it: the guy had to burn matches when he was done with his stanky poop, but had no problem giving me Dutch Ovens as often as he could. He also once made a co-worker puke because of his nasty stank. He thought it was funny. Ah, memories.
The whole 'Dutch' thing began as a racial slur.
During the Anglo-dutch Wars (Engels–Nederlandse Oorlogen) over control of trade routes, English speaking people used the word 'Dutch' always in the pejorative sense.
So racial slurs that came into being;
Dutch courage (false courage given by alcohol)
Double-Dutch (to speak nonsense)
Going Dutch on a meal bill sometimes called a Dutch Treat (it was considered poor form for a man to let a woman pay for a meal in the old days, hence 'going Dutch')
Dutch Uncle (someone who is unnecessarily critical and harsh, the reverse of what is normally thought of as avuncular or uncle-like)
Dutch Cap (a female contraceptive device - a cap or diagram)
Dutch wife (a prostitute, more recently a sex doll)
Dutch widow (prostitute)
Dutch comfort (offering poor comfort like saying 'things could be worse')
Dutch Gold (cheap alloy resembling gold)
Dutch concert (a roar or unruly noise from a crowd)
Dutch Bottomed (empty)
Dutch Nightingale (a frog)
and
Dutch Oven (as described above)
All originally made up by the English to insult the Dutch. These days the original intent has been lost and they are seen as jokes. But we are in good company, Aristophanes, Chaucer and even Dante made fart jokes in their literature.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
