    How long does it really take to poop?

    If it’s taking you a while to actually use the facilities, that’s another story. According to a study recently published in the (kind of ickily named, in context) journal Soft Matter and highlighted by New Scientist, the average mammal — regardless of size — takes just 12 seconds to poop.

    In fact, both animals will probably get the job done in less than 30 seconds, a new study finds. Humans would probably fit in that time frame too, says Patricia Yang, a mechanical engineering graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. That’s because elephants, cats and people all excrete cylindrical poop.

    Ah, the Toot Uncommon.  It takes many generations of consanguineous parents to produce this.

    Just imagine, they were inside those baskets until the unfurlment.

    I hesitate to point this out, but while one Rhythms-of-Nature guy is tooting… the other guy is teresa-ing.

    So that’s how the tradition of breaking wind in front of a languid sine curve got started.

    It was his yearning to break free that caused it.

    So much attention paid to unfurlment (and on close perusal, it appears to me they are urfurling from within baskets or some similar kind of container, such as a ceramic bowl; probably not a porcelain bowl, though)!

    Not enough attention given, IMO, to their Egyptianizing eyes, despite their overall Indian “look,” and to the rhythms of Nature that dictate toots, farts, and defecations as surely as any cyclic function you might think of!

    The unfurler on the left has some nice highlights in his hair.
