It is a curious but true fact that we owe the modern flush toilet as we know it to a Victorian gentleman by the name of Thomas Crapper. Mr Lavatory is obviously his Discworld counterpart.

Crapper didn’t really invent the flush toilet himself, but he made several improvements to the design, and he certainly sold a lot of them to the British army. For more information about Thomas Crapper, read Cecil Adams’ More of the Straight Dope.
