I found the following over on Michael Flanakin's blog. This is apparently patented: US Patent No. 4,320,756. What do you think? I always thought that your sewage line had noxious (sp?) fumes in it. If so, then this would definitely be a bad idea.
Described as a "Fresh Air Breathing Device", this tool was invented by William O. Holmes to enable persons trapped in the upper floors of a burning building to survive toxic smoke by inhaling "clean" air through the water trap of a toilet until they could be rescued.
