Hidden wonders beneath your sink

Randomly found out today that the plumbing in most modern houses is designed to work with gravity alone - no pumps or anything. Kinda cool how simple yet effective that is. Wonder if there's other neat plumbing facts floating around out there?

Yeah, gravity-based plumbing is pretty clever. Another neat thing is the U-shaped trap under sinks - simple yet stops sewer gases from creeping back up. Makes me wonder how many other basic but smart designs are hidden around the house...?
