French Man Sucked Into Train Toilet

A guy on a high-speed train in France dropped his cellphone into the train's toilet. Not thinking about--or not knowing--the fact that those toilets have an automatic flushing mechanism stimulated by the presence of, er, objects in the toilet bowl (heheh...I didn't say "poop"!), the guy reached in for his phone, the flusher kicked in, and his arm was trapped in the toilet bowl!

Follow the link below for all the gory details. We are reminded, of course, of two somewhat related stories: the infamous obese woman supposedly stuck on the airplane toilet (investigated later by Mythbusters, as reported here by Poop Report), and our own classic Potty Mouth episode, "Bowls on the Go". Though luckily, we didn't stick any appendages in the (admittedly low-tech) Thai train toilet. Oh yeah, and we would be remiss without a Trainspotting reference as well (see photo above)...
