Target - in more ways than one.

So one of the ways to actually pull off this gag of taking control of the toilet is to capture the remote controls IR signal.  I plan on using a relatively inexpensive "Universal" learning remote control.  So I googled "universal remote control" and voila!  Up popped a universal remote.  I mean Universal.  Like made from the Universal Remote Control Corporation. Like, um forget it.

Anyway here's a photo of the model I'm considering.  It's the model URC-WR7.  In the specs it says it has full IR capture capability!  And it's around $20.  I think I can get it from Target.  So this weekend may be the weekend I make my first attempt at IR capture!
