common misconception! Thomas Crapper didn't invent the flush toilet. it was actually patented by Alexander Cumming. what Crapper invented was the floating ballcock.

dude i just looked up that cumming toilet crapper ballcock thing they were talking about, that's true. that's like 100 percent- everything they said was true. the ballcock is real and it was patented by crapper, it's the ball inside the toilet that floats with the water
