“Intelligence Toilet”

While we’re all for products that multi-task, this may be taking it just a little too far. Remember the infamous Japanese “Intelligence Toilet?” The latest product from Toto makes each trip to the bathroom like a physical at the doctor's office. Featuring a weight scale, a BMI indicator, a blood sugar and blood pressure monitor it now comes with urine temperature measurement and analysis to help women keep track of menstruation cycles.
If that weren’t enough, the whole thing can be networked to your PC via Wi-Fi. Now that’s handy!
It begs the question: How many people would pay $3,500 to $6, 00 to have one of these systems installed in their homes?
Apparently, more than we thought. Toto has reportedly sold 10,000 Intelligence Toilets since the April 2005 debut. A hypochondriacs dream.
