              I think this toilet is going to be the death of us

It started yesterday when, after flushing the toilet, I noticed water seeping
all around the toilet bowl. “This is not good,” said Bunny, as she inspected
the growing puddle of water. “Let's cut off the water to this thing, and deal
with it tomrrow. Looks like we're going to have to replace the wax ring.”

Cut to—today. Water disconnected, I pull the toilet off the floor revealing
the horrible remains of a wax ring. Bunny then scrapped the remains up, and
we replaced the wax ring with a non-wax ring that should last longer. We get
the toilet back in place, secured it down, hooked the water up and hey! Looks
like no more water.

Until there was.

It appears that it may not have been the wax ring at all, but the seals
around the … um … bit (I have no idea what it's called) that regulates the
water into the tank. Water is pouring out of the tank at the location the
water pipe is connected to the toilet.

I swear, this toilet is cursed [1]!
