    My subject goes straight to the point in describing the following Telegraph UK article:Archaeologists dig up Shakespeare's 'cesspit'Lest you think that this is not Shakespeare's toilet that was found (or the place where such refuse was deposited), here is the definition from Wikipedia of a cesspit:”A cesspit, or cesspool is a pit, conservancy tank, or covered cistern, which can be used for sewage or refuse.”

    Yes I suppose, but I'm about to have supper, and images of Shakespeare relieving himself is a very disturbing thing.  I guess one could write a dissertation on this subject if one wanted to be the only cit-able source on it.  LOL
