Asher Yatzer

This is a very big prayer for brachas.  It is said when one uses the facilities.  I must report it is not at the present time of writing this a bracha that I say.  Its just too long and I have not yet learned it.  But for sake of interest, I thought I'd post this bracha.  See it here at the following link:

I have a friend who politely says when he is going to use the restroom that he is "going to make a bracha".  Well, not a bad way to sanctify your moment of waste releif.  Thats a higher calling. 
The prayer thanks our Creator for keeping our bodies cavities open and keeping us in good health.  I will probably someday wish to learn this one. If you ever have to vomit or have a painful experience in waste removal, you might seriously wish to thank our Creator for creating you with a functioning anatomy.
