May they both share an ancestor and they're both genetic reincarnations of this slag-ancestor.  Like how Gaheris Rhade and Telemachus Rhade were both spitting images of their ancestor Camulus.

The flushing toilet was invented in 1596, not by Thomas Crapper as most people think, but by Sir John Harington.

Sir Harington advised everyone that the proper way to sit on a toilet was to face the toilet bowl, as to use it as a shelf for books, quills, and ink.

Is that why it's known as the John?

A friend of mine put swivel rollers on a piece of bathroom furniture so he can also use it for his laptop, books, etc. That "bathroom/office/living room" thing is something mostly male but I know a few women that do that too.
