Nobody Poops: Difference between revisions

* Lampshaded in The Second [[Foundation]], where a girl sneaks aboard a ship and hides there, like she read and saw a lot in popular culture. Then she realizes that the books failed to mention some things, and she cannot remain in her hiding place for long...

* Both averted and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in Donaya Haymond's ''[[Legends of Laconia]]'' series. In ''Waking Echoes'', the prison cell Ty spends three days in has a toilet, and in ''Bite Me'' Matthew asks Dianne if her [[Our Vampires Are Different|father]] goes to the bathroom, saying he's always wondered about those in his [[Unusual Euphemism|condition]].

** Moaning Myrtle does mention that people sometimes flush her into the lake through the toilet she haunts, but Harry's mind literally shies away from this topic before he can wonder about what happens to her beforehand.

** Related to that, out of all seven books, only Goblet of Fire features a scene in a bath (you know, to actually take a bath). It seems people in Hogwarts never shower as well, since we are never told where are the showers and are only shown a prefects' bathroom (also, we're not told if it's the only one or if there is one for each house).

* Averted pretty solidly in [[Watership Down]], where the rabbits are mentioned to "pass ''hraka''" multiple times over the course of the book.
