Your brother's teacher's boyfriend huh? Reliable source.

How does this guy say it happened? Aside from the fact that it has been posted on the board many times and they tried it already on the show, think about it.

There's air between the seat and the rim of the bowl, not very good vacuuming power. His BEST chance of it would be to sit on a potty chair with no seat on it so his butt would be big enough to totally cover the seat. But potty chairs don't flush and normal toilets don't produce ANYthing strong enough to suction someone to the seat.

I heard a similar myth related to this. It was that a "full figured" person was sitting on their toilet that had a flat seat, or no seat. That they were tightly sitting on the bowl with no space between the seat, or their toosh, and the top of the bowl. When they flushed it, the suction pulled their intestines out and into the bowl, killing them. I don't know if it was a typical residential toilet, or one of those high-pressure types. Anyone else hear this ?

Tested and busted on the show. Use find for details.
