Sorry, list elves, I know its OT and quotes no canon, but I can't let 
this go by.

Indoor toilets and sewers have been around at least 5000 years. Skara 
Brae in the Orkneys has both and is neolithic. The drains were lined 
with birch bark as I recall. The Indus Valley civilisation also had 
flushing toilets before 1500BC.
