Check out these interesting facts: Ever wondered about the origin of the word plumbing? Pipes used to be made from lead. The word “plumbing” came from the Latin word “plumbum” which means lead. The flushable toilet was invented in 1596 by Sir John Harington. That’s why the toilet is aptly nicknamed “The John.” Who are the world’s most famous plumbers? You guessed it, Mario and Luigi. Albert Einstein has got nothing to do with the development of the modern toilet, but he was named an honorary member of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union just for stating publicly that he would “become a plumber if he had to do it all over again.” One of the world’s greatest rock stars Ozzy Osbourne was a plumber’s assistant before rising to his rock star status.
