I'm watching the history channel. I'm learning more about poop then I think I cared to know. I think the thing that blew my mind, was in southern India, they wash their patio or veranda in cow dung, before visitors can be welcoemd.
Now the host, is trying to be a dung beatle and failing.
I got the earlier segment about copperlites.
I guess, I'm too much of a prissy western girl right now.
Then I learned, that gun powder comes from poo(salt peter) That very expensive coffee comes from the poo of a civet(which I think is also in the production of perfume), some sort of expensive morrocan oil, comes from the nuts that are in the poo of a goat. Some chinese tea is made from the dung of a moth that eats the tea bush.
I also found out, that the elephant can poo a trunkful of poo a day. IT's also very fertile, apparently seeds germinate 40 percent more, and some seeds need the elephant poo. There is also a mountain in a cave in borneo made from bat guano that is full of bugs. One of the bugs is this big ole centipede that can eat the chicks of a bird that nests in the cave.
