An interesting collection of stats and figures about coffee, if by “interesting” you’ll allow “numbers a guy put on his web page that I didn’t fact check.” (He does seem to link studies for all his claims.) For instance:
Reports of coffee elevating blood pressure are misleading, because they aren’t done they way we drink coffee: […]

A new over-the-counter version of Xenical is on the market, dubbed “alli,” which prevents your body from metabolizing fats. What a smart way to save calories, you might think, chawing down on a handful before you tuck into a deep-fried Thickburger. Hold up, Hero Ton-ma: all that fat has to go somewhere. That somewhere is […]

David Smith was a giant fatty, covered in over 600 pounds of loathsome man-cracklin’. Then, amazingly, he lost it all, slimming down to a healthy 230, several pounds of which were unneeded skin. Smith is now undergoing surgeries to have that skin removed.
Which answers the question: better corpulent gravy grub or skinny Hellraiser extra? Looks […]

Dr. Stool writes: Since there has been a lot of discussion on this site about colon cleansing, we wanted to share more about Enemas:
 
The act of instilling a liquid (usually water) into the rectum has been around for centuries. Historically known as “clysters,” enemas were the preferred treatment of the bourgeoisie for a wide variety of gastrointestinal ailments. […]

Dr. Stool writes: We all need a little more order in our lives. Now, thanks to two ingenius poo docs from England, we have the ability to neatly classify our most untidy of waste products.
While we believe that the variety in poo is, indeed, “bottomless,” these poo minimalists have devised a quick and easy classification […]

This theme park in Denmark, “Bon Bon Land,” is based entirely on scatological humor perpetrated by cartoon characters. The rides themselves are typical carnival fare, but covered in anthropomorphic farm animals pissing into pots or taking a dump into the mouths of other characters. Looks like a good time!

While I don’t know how much we want kids to think that piss and shit are huggable, these “Kiss & Bajs” pee and poop dolls from (presumably Scandinvaian) Emma Megitt are awfully cute.

“I just whipped up a mess of gut chutney.”

I’ve had Poop Report in my RSS reader for several months now and while I can’t say I check the site every time I open it up—there are times when I don’t want to read about shit, believe it or not—I get a small tingle just knowing it’s there. A collection of user-submitted stories, “Pooetry,” […]

Most of us internet nerds have probably seen Dr. Natura, the site selling a rather expensive colon cleaning kit by displaying pictures of strange things people have shit after taking the product. If you haven’t seen it, well, just imagine someone holding up some kelp on a stick, except instead of being harvested from the […]

From Robert Anton Wilson’s Prometheus Rising Schroedinger’s Cat, an excerpt I think might be useful to have in the back of your mind this week:
Since a great deal of primate behavior was considered just awful, most of the domesticated primates spent most of their time trying to conceal what they were doing.
Some of the primates […]
