Great.  May they share the same ending ;-)

"According to Uncle John's Curiously Compelling Bathroom Reader, here are 
some people who died in the bathroom:  ... Evelyn Waugh, one of the greatest 
English novelists of the 20th century ... [who] had just returned from 
Easter Mass.  In recent years, the 62-year-old had put on a lot of weight.  
He also drank a lot, smoked cigars and rarely exercised.  He died 'straining 
at stool' in the bathroom, April 10, 1966."
