    Genius

    It's common knowledge these days that Leonardo Da Vinci had pioneered designs for helicopters and gliders way before their time. Less well known is the fact that his notebooks also contained designs for futuristic toilet paper dispensers. Exhibit A is a dual roll dispenser (roll B not pictured). When one runs out the second just slides into place and is accessible immediately.

    If you had your doubts about the man surely this will persuade you of his sheer genius.

    Well, if Dan Brown is allowed to make stuff up...

    I wonder what old Leo would have thought of his name being put to such use.

    Apologies for all the toilet blogs. I'll attempt to expand my horizons and look elsewhere for inspiration.
