how to tell if you're a fat ass

So last week the above happened. It started slowly, but then during one sitting CRUNCH!!! there she went. Given the resulting crack gap, it's clear the ring was under quite a bit of lateral tension and (ahem) vertical compression.

Went to order a new seat and was jabberwockied by the choices. After poking around we realized that the toilet didn't come with a seat (and we didn't specify one) and that the builder ordered the cheapest seat and not the most aesthetic one. Not that we noticed... We ordered the aesthetic one as a replacement. Maybe it's sturdier? Maybe we need to go on a diet?

Time will tell...
