    the word “Coprolite” simply meaning fossilized dung.

    I think I just found my new label for describing our ruling class.

    We live in a coprocracy, run by coprolites.

      Listen, at least coprolites are really useful for science.

        Oh there’s plenty of good science I can think of!

        How many coprolites can be cut in two by a single motion of a guillotine blade?

        Does a coprolite puree make a viable fertilizer?

        How do coprolites hold up against extremes in temperature, pressure, or acceleration? Exposure to acids, bases, enzymatics, radiation?

        So much valuable data!

    That can’t be the record for the largest poop

      I imagine it was probably larger before it was… Dried out.

      Also, 8 inches by 2 inches is pretty fucking large. I say this as someone who has had 8 inches back there.

        So like do you use ruler markings to measure that or do you just measure after taking it to the hilt?

          Generally, you should use a cloth tape measure to measure dick. There are instructions online if you look.

          Also, 8 inches to the hilt is often not pleasant, so work with your partner and learn how deep your sigmoid colon is, and take it slow. Big ol’ dick slamming into a wall is not fun unless you are very particularly into it.

    Fun story for y’all.

    I used to drink a lot of milk. I was a constipated teen. I took a shit one day, and to say it was anything short of awe aspiring wouldn’t do it justice. This thing was one solid thick rod sticking out of the water.

    I called my stepdad to check it out. Naturally, he was so surprised he had to tell Mum to come over. A few minutes later we’ve got a whole family of six in a bathroom admiring my turd.

    My stepdad claims to have uploaded it to ratemypoo .com (don’t bother going there, the site takes you to ratemypussy .com).

    This day I learned our family was not normal.

    I wonder if the reason it was so well preserved is the viking was proud and wanted to show it off.

    But was it as big as Klee Irwin’s description on his infamous TV infomercial for dual cleanse? I ask you…. I watched this infomercial in absolute awe and confusion once back in 2005/2006 eating lunch at home sick. I had to look this up again seeing this post.

    Link to transcript description

    “I’ll never forget the first time I saw my four-year-old daughter’s bowel movement in the toilet. It literally scared me. She wasn’t more than 45 pounds, but her bowel movement was about as thick as my wrist and about as long as her arm. And I thought, ‘Oh my God.’ I got scared. I was going to call my wife. I thought, ‘How could something that big come of something—a little child—that small. And I thought, I’m six feet tall and I weigh 190 pounds and by proportion to my size compared to hers my bowel movements were very inadequate to say the least.”

    “Analysis of the stool has indicated that its producer subsisted largely on meat and bread, despite evidence suggesting that other people at the same place and time had access to fruits, leeks, shellfish, and nuts. The presence of several hundred parasitic eggs suggests the person was riddled with intestinal worms.”

    Amazing

      Even in the Viking Age we had RETVRN guys.

      They didn’t eat fucking berries in the sagas! Hang on, I gotta go post on the noticeboards to ask about how to deal with these fucking tapeworms.
