Neatorama lead me to this Weird News article.

9 year old Iowan, Jake Wulf invented a foot activated toilet seat lifter which he named the “Privy Prop”. That beat out “Jake’s John Jack” which I actually prefer.

He created the handy device for his school’s Invention Convention, with the help of his dad who designs equipment for a living. Jake built the base out of plywood, then cut thin pieces of steel and fashioned a teeter-totter at the bottom. Step on: seats lifts. Step off: it closes.

The item was such a hit at the fair that he got a call from the Ellen Degeneres Show. His interview will air on Friday.

I know I’m saying the same thing wives and girlfriends are saying everywhere….”Where can I get one for my man?”
