A different kind of throne...

A stained glass window has been installed in St. Lawrence's church near Doncaster, England, to honor Thomas Crapper, the inventor of the flush toilet, who was born in nearby Thorne. They drew the line at depicting a toilet in the traditional white, however. "Officials thought a white loo might stand out too much in the window and become the focus of attention instead of Christ in Majesty, so it was portrayed in a dark silhouette," said a church spokesman. Is a stained glass toilet appropriate? "Nobody has told us that it demeans the church or the glory of God. They can see the significance of including Crapper in a celebration of the millennium."

...so!... on the first day of the millennium a lot of people will be "praying to the crapper"..?
