Throne home for net users:survey

Flushing out the secrets of America's web surfers, a new survey of Internet use has found that more and more people are logging on - in the bathroom.

The snapshot of how the Internet has changed American life concluded that home wireless connections were allowing people to stay connected everywhere - even in the smallest room in the house.

"A significant number of Americans use the computer connection in the bathroom," said Jeffrey Cole, of the University of Southern California (USC) Annenberg School Centre for the Digital Future.

Since people were unlikely to be surfing in the bath, or while brushing their teeth, Mr Cole said he had concluded that many of them went off into cyberspace while on the throne.

"Over half of those who used Wi-fi had used it in the bathroom," he said, remarking that he believed some people in busy homes retreated there for some privacy.

"It wasn't for comic relief - it was a genuine finding," he said, referring to the survey during an advance briefing to amused US congressional staffers on Friday.

"We didn't use a specific question 'if you use it on the toilet, is it with the lid open, or closed?" he joked.

The survey, the fifth annual snapshot of how America uses the Internet, is due to be released on Tuesday.

Why in the hell would the lid be closed? That means you either just went in the bathroom for strictly recreational purposes (stupid), or are trying to take a shit with the lid closed (even more stupid, but very funny).

Spoken like a man who's never tried to get away from a Super Bowl halftime show by taking to the toidy with no real business to tend to... although I'll give you pooping with the lid closed is incredibly stupid and equally as funny.

Silence. I've gone there just to get away from the woman for a little while. I can't imagine the frequency that I will go to the bathroom, just to get away from the kids, once I have them.
