archive.org link; either the spoiler was wrong or working off an older version of slash'em, but evidently that's where the error in chances came from

-Toilets provide a safe and unlimited way to dilute potions, which can prove invaluable in the early and mid-game.  Later on, characters will generally find an [[amulet of flying]] preferable, as then [[pool]]s (either created from a fountain or found naturally) will provide a similar but far more frequent source of dilution.
+Toilets provide a safe and unlimited way to dilute potions, which can prove invaluable in the early and mid-game.  Later on, characters will generally find an [[amulet of flying]] preferable, as then [[pool]]s (either created from a fountain or found naturally) will provide a similar but far more frequent source of dilution.  When dipping in a toilet, be careful not to accidentally dip a stack of food: it will rot the entire stack, and if the stack merges with another (e.g. in a [[bag of holding]]), those will be rotted too.
 If a toilet happens to be found near a large source of high-nutrition corpses (e.g. a [[giant court]] or [[dragon lair]]), repeatedly sitting on it can allow the player to eat far more of them than would normally be possible, which can be useful for gaining [[intrinsic]]s and [[strength]].  Furthermore, the guaranteed ability to cure sickness (including [[food poisoning]]) by praying is also handy, in case the player lets some of the corpses get too old.
