"[POKE 33824,] does make items/toilet/Maria appear prematurely, though."
...or it could make them disappear prematurely, if you're POKING your way out of a room with one or more of those features!

I suppose it provides a circumstance in which the toilet can be fatal - if a guardian in the room from which you are attempting to teleport happens to occupy the same coordinates as the toilet at the moment when you apply the POKE. (It wouldn't be an infinite death scenario though - after losing one life, Willy should safely teleport to The Bathroom.)
