"Because to me the Starbucks logo says toilet as much as it says coffee."

Toilets | Flightless Bird

This week on Flightless Bird, David sets out to discover why the water level on American toilets is terrifyingly high, almost filling up the entire toilet bowl. Joined by Monica, he tries to figure out why it’s so hard to find a public restroom and why the gaps in the doors are so big. David talks to urban sociologist and toilet expert Harvey Molotch, who explains why public restrooms unchanging - segregated into male and female sections - seem to be locked in time. We discover why so many horror films feature scary scenes in toilets and talk to a plumber about his biggest toilet disaster.

"Beep, beep" is #onomatopoeia representing a noise, generally of a pair of identical tones (#beeps) following one after the other, often generated by a #machine or device such as a #carHorn. It is commonly associated with the #RoadRunner (commonly interpreted as "meep meep") in #LooneyTunes cartoons featuring the speedy-yet-#flightlessBird and his constant pursuer, #WileECoyote. #BeepBeep is the name of a 1952 #WarnerBros cartoon in the #MerrieMelodies series.

These flightless birds are full of personality—and part of what makes New Zealand’s native wildlife so special.
