    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.

        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!

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

    I know soldiers who have had larger shits after field training. Source I worked at a rec center that would be their first stop as they prep to go home. And I would check the bathroom and see that it was left when they could not flush it.

    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.”
