I lie in my bed
 -ta dum -ta dum-
I'm stiff and I'm cold
-ta dum -ta dum-
My lips are so blue
-ta-dum -ta dum-
Oh what can I do
- ta dum - ta dum-
The undertaker blues wil take you down!
I never knew I could go down so deep
it almost feels like 6 feet
Under -taker blues!
Undertaker blues
Will take a man down.
Yeah.

Yeah, there's actually a lot you could do with that lyric.

...If someone hasn't made a song out of that...

The word "Loo" (Lavatory, Toilet, Bathroom, John, etc) is of uncertain origin. It may be an abbreviated form of "gare l'eau" (mind the water) or "(be)ware below" or several other warning cries traditionally associated with the emptying of chamber pots out of the window. There are suggestions that the room numbered 100, in a certain type of hotel, are the shared facilities for that floor, which could be read as if a short word in its own right.  On sailing ships, one would use whatever side of the ship were downwind (leeward, or "leward" in some accents) for all the best reasons, and the terminology then migrated to land-lubbers in a form with more brevity. It could also be that the term "water closet" was humorously conflated with the famous battle of Waterloo, before being further shortened through laxness of terminology, to become one of the many slang euphemisms and or synonyms for the toilet facilities...

But W.C. is short for whose convenience?

Speakers of languages with non-insane names for the letter 'w'.

I was under the impression (albeit from bad english speaking ffxi players) that wc was used because a closer translation of the japanese word for bathroom was water closet.

Course this is also the same sort of language skills which produced "what mean 'cum'? corned beef?" to which I answered 'yes, when I finish there is an explosion of corned beef... I should probably see a doctor about that' which is terrible and amusing, but I'm not sure if it's a joke.

The fact you went to the effort to count the zeroes then figure out what number that made and then halved it... well, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

[Max™]

Just hit f7 to get the cursor then tapped, one-two-three, one-two-three, etc and got 17 so I went with septendecillion.

Only reason I even thought to do that is from accidentally hitting f7 and wondering why the hell the cursor is moving around instead of scrolling the page and having to figure out what I did.

Shoulda just pasted it in the address bar and added a !wa so duckduckgo would check wolframalpha (which confirmed it's septendecillion) for me.

The police took a fortuneteller into custody, but due to her abilities, they were released on their own precognizance.

How many dumb-dumbs does it take to change a light-bulb?

Some twenty, in all. One to hold the bulb, and nineteen to turn the house.

However, it will not work. For the designated bulb holder is standing inside the house, and is thus turned with it. The dumb-dumbs do not understand this. The ones doing the house turning feel as if the bulb holder is somehow cheating them, that he is failing to do his part of the job on purpose. Meanwhile, the bulb man feels increasingly shattered by his failure, and tries again and again to fulfill his responsibility. He knows that he has mislead his house turning flock. But he cannot understand what is wrong. He wishes nothing more but to get off his step-ladder, and pass his slippery, jingling burden over to someone else. But no one will accept. He is the bulb holder.

And so it continues, again and again. Nineteen resigned dumb-dumbs lifting and turning a house on their shoulder, turn after turn, while inside is a dumb-dumb in absolute despair, pleading in tears at the light socket, that, in its refined and delicate cruelty, refuses to turn.
