Remember Ms. Chartoff from the TV show "Fridays"? It's seems that, in addition to doing voices for Rugrats, she's become an inventor.

In 1991 Melanie Chartoff conceived a device that would permit the reuse of shower and sink water. With the help of business partner Michael Bell, Inventor Ron Ford and Engineer Timothy Nicely, the device has been patented and readied for manufacture. Read on for more details about the GRAYWAY ROTATING DRAIN.

The patent number is 5,274,861. This is in the great tradition of Hedy Lamarr, who co-invented spread sprectrum radio. Ok, maybe Hedy had more secure communications, but did she recycle her shower water?
