Supposedly Newton's idea of gravity but that story with the apple could just be a cover-up.

Well it was all downhill after that, so not sure it was great you know!

Well depends on how you define toilet. The flushing toilet was invented after issac newtons life so it definitely wasnt on what what would currently be considered a toilet.

It's a little known fact that Newton was pooping under that apple tree when the apple fell on his head.
