Bathroom Epiphanies

Why is it that my most brilliant moments of thought come while I'm in the bathroom? What is it about sitting on a porcelain bowl with your butt checks spread, listening to the sound of urine tinkle in the water below that lends itself to deep meaningful thought? (Taking a dump doesn't seem to generate brilliant moments of thought if you're worried about a back splash.)

And why does the act of wadding up toilet paper, wiping your ass, pulling up your pants and washing your hands make 99% of those brilliant thoughts vanish? What's with that whole process? It has to be done, but it's so counter-productive to the "eureka" moment you had while sitting on the toilet.

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with gaming, but it's my life and I want answers. If you know of any medical studies where this phenomenon has been studies I'd like to know . . . on second thought maybe not. I'd just thought I'd ask.
