[at-l] PRIVY - OUTHOUSE - ETC, Review 1993.

   Have not checked this out lately, BUT,,, at the url:

   http://www.lehigh.edu/~ludas/interesting/privy.html

   There is a critique of various outhouse/latrines/privies/etc,,, by "the
Porcelain Dreamer" AT-93...

   It could use an update, just a little dated, but fun to read..
