More appropriately this should be described as an ESAD (External Stability Augmentation Device). I feel this is a more appropriate term since it better reflects the myriad of opinions on this item since ESAD also stands for: On the con side: Excessive Spam Acquisition Device Extra Stability Adds Disadvantages Easy Scheme (for) Acquiring Dollars On the pro side: Extra Stability Avoids Death Everyone Should Acquire (this) Device Essential Suit Avoidance Device On a personal note: Early Senility (is) Advancing Daily I am not promoting any of the opinions listed above. (although I am pretty confident about the Senility) I am just showing how the term ESAD reflects various opinions that have been expressed in some e-mails I have read in the past. Please DO NOT take this as an invitation to argue about the merits/demerits of ESAD's. As far as needing to stand up is concerned. The modified airline vacuum toilet is built into the custom foam seat so there is no need to assume such a position. You think with all that other stuff I would not have thought about nature's call.
