Toilet Lid Sink

This just seems like an extraordinarily bad idea. Granted, incoming water is just as "clean" as the stuff that comes from other taps, but still...

From the Real Goods product page:

With each flush of your commode, clean water that would otherwise go straight down the toilet is first routed up through a chrome gooseneck spigot to dispense pure water for hand washing. The Toilet Lid Sink installs easily without tools, is attractive for any bathroom and is a great space saver. Shuts off automatically. Porcelain-like white plastic replaces your existing tank top and adjusts to fit standard toilets up to 8in wide and 18-22in long. Built-in soap dish. Overhang varies up to 1.5in.

I dunno about you, but I'd rather just eat it and clutter up my bathroom with an actual sink. Can you imagine brushing your teeth at this thing? Kinda gives new meaning to the insult "eat shit and die."
