Why does GIMP have a Toilet Paper template?

[Legendary_Bibo]

I never really looked through the templates until tonight because I just found out I could save my own templates and what not, but I came across a peculiar option. "Toilet Paper (300ppi)". Uh...does anyone care to explain this one? :confused:

Its for when your artwork is giving you the s***s. :twisted:

Actually, you can use that template to print on toilet paper. Why? I dont know, maybe you could use it to print stuff for kids to help toilet train them. Or you could print you x-gf/bfs face on it.....hey, there is a million and one uises for that template. Now, how can I load a toilet roll into my printer? :-k

haha yeah that would be the hard part, but why? Sometimes software developers are just kind of weird. :D

It's not a question of how can you load it into your printer.

It's a question of what printer you need to load it, and what kind of printing "adhesive" you need to use. You wouldn't use ink on toilet paper, and you can't heat the toilet paper too much, so most laser printers are out of the question.

You never know when you need to print the face of someone on such kind of media for proper use :lolflag:

Really! You mean everybody doesn't have one of these?

A crazy new product out of Taiwan seems to be aimed at the feed dependent of us out there. The 'rsstroom reader' is a bathroom gadget that prints news feeds onto your T-P - that's right, your TOILET PAPER! The best part is the "biometrics" toilet seat that'll figure out who you are based on your weight and prints the news you want - not your roommates tabloid garbage. Going to the rsstroom will never be boring again! Here's the scoop:

So you can put a printer and desktop in your bathroom and feed the roll of TP through the printer. While you're on the can, design a new image for your paper and print it

If you ask me that sounds unhealthy.

It's so you can put someone like steve jobs or your worst enemy on a roll.

It's the GIMP devs describing the England defence! But seriously, I've no idea.
