Carbon fiber is the material of choice when you need something to be incredibly light and strong, but unless you're on the Space Shuttle, I'm not sure I can figure out why lightness is a virtue in a toilet seat.

Doctors will tell you that a lot of fiber help to keep you regular, but I don't think this is quite what they had in mind. Of course looking cool is important too, and there's no question that this is one of the most high-tech looking thrones we've ever seen.

Unfortunately all of this toilet tech doesn't come cheap. The carbon Fiber Toilet seat is available now for $279.
