Kaiser Wilhelm Toilet Paper
I knew that it's popular to put politician's faces on toilet paper (for instance, Amazon sells Obama toilet paper
as well as Mitt Romney toilet paper
), but I didn't realize that these kind of novelty products were being sold even back in World War I. [via Daily Mail]

My Mom had a chamber pot from WWI with the Kaisers picture in the bottom and one from WWII with Hitlers.

@FUD, One of those WWII chamber pots ended up on Antiques Road Show UK.
It was postulated by some of the anthropologists that studied the cave drawings in So. France that the intention of representing the stick figure humans in front of the running animals was, in fact, a jibe at a neighboring tribe (or family they were unsure on this point) they were having a hunting rights dispute with.

When my colleagues from Germany need to find a bathroom they'll joke "Now I must go to where even tne Kaiser must be alone."

"A scrap of paper" being the Treaty of London (1839) by which Prussia had guaranteed Belgian neutrality.

<mode=racist Anglo of the 1910s> Yeah, after all, they're our neutrals, dammit, not those dirty sub-human Kraut monsters'!</mode>
Anyone want to guess how likely it is that England would've invaded France if they'd gone through Belgium at Germany? Mine is: not bloody likely at all.
