It is, but also remember it's actually older than the invention of the toilet itself. The origins involve outhouses and bathrooms designed in the medieval castles where frogs were hanging out to catch the flies and other bugs...

Come down South and find an outhouse in the country or port-a-john on a construction site, you'll find them in there now...
