You can learn a lot from poop

BTW Rick,

This is not an Eastern European thing. Having spent much time in West Germany growing up, I loved throwing handfuls of wet paper towels in the train toilets and watching them hit the tracks as the train was moving.

This thread is perfectly fine WITHOUT pics. . .

Well, I must say that this skatoLOGical thread represents my first foray into OTs. One comment I have derives, in part, from Rammstein's comment:
" I would love for my own toilet to rate my poop. It would be judged on weight, and the time it took from seat contact to full loafage. Perhaps a laser spectrometer could add color to the judgement.

I bet in Japan they already had this back in the 70s."

Indeed, they are pursuing this particular toilet in Japan and I attended a conference on health where the speaker told of this device. It was wired to a wall mounted control panel and each person in the family had a different number and this was keyed into the toilet control panel each time a different person used it. The toilet is able to conduct urinalysis and stool analysis and enters this information into the wall mounted control panel (computer) and data can then be withdrawn to confirm healthy body functions or, more importantly, to alert one to the presence of known potential health problems (i.e. sugar levels, presence of blood, antibodies, etc.). The computer is also able to 'download' information directly to one's physician over the internet, who can monitor and interpret the data on a much more scientific level.

I'd love to drop a 15-pound horse turd in that thing and then push the button just to see the look of horror on my physician's face. . .

Oh, the fun you could have.

I remember one time Our Son (when he was almost two) had explosive diaherria and shot runny crap all over my Wife - covered her face, half her head and most of her chest. She stood there in amazement as Our Son laughed.

Of course I had to clean it up. This weekend my Wife hit some new lows as well (due to the surgery). I cleaned that up as well.

To Noahs point, there is a lot of bad stuff in poop. If anyone's wife allows the dirty sex, do so with a condom. You will get an infection quick as hell if not protected - found that out by dating an 18yr old Danish nanny before I met my wife. Never make that mistake again. Also, be kind and don't go regular after being dirty, she will get an infection as well.

I have read before that light brown is what you are looking for. I think it was from someplace that promoted a diet with lots of fruits and veggies.

Every once in a while mine is bright green. That always creeps me out a bit.

You must like collards and turnip greens.

Whoever said that vegetable eaters poop doesn't stink has never followed a collard eater to the can.

I've got to wonder if Rammy reads PVP?

I'll pay real money for a picture of that guy suspended by his naked ass under a car magnet.

You see?!?! The Japanese are way ahead of us on poop too! I am running for president for 2008, and I will demand that congress work out a proposal for closing the poop gap right away. I want full analysis of EVERY american's poop, and I want special precautions made to detect terrorist poop and have 'arresting' toilets that grab the terrorist and hold them there as it phones the authorities.
