We recently went on the Disney Cruise Ship.  The kids were afraid of the 
sounds the toilet made (flush & run!!).  Husband tried to explain by 
telling us about water in toilets north & south of equator (sure!).  What 
is different about the way the ships toilets flush?  Why would they need a 
different flushing mechanism?    Thanks!  Mary Beth
