where is that rural 306.9-kilometre mail route in Uncle Sam’s land? somewhere in Alaska I’d bet

So, I had to look that up. According to Patricia Yang, a researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the poop is probably cube shaped because the intestines have two distinct ravine-like grooves, where the intestine is stretchier, which she believes helps shape wombat feces into cubic scat. This is from National Geographic.

Considering the obsession with poop-related factoids lately, I’m wondering if the strip has been taken over by a 7 year-old kid.

Pacific dampwood termite poop is produced as eight-faced hexagonal prisms.

Who is following these animals around to see the size a shape of it’s poop!!!

Hey kids! Fool your friends! On a tray of brownies, randomly distribute wombat poops! Watch the fun!

The mechanics behind cube shaped poop in general is very perplexing….

If I’m the guy on that route I’d want a little extra on the paycheck. Just saying…

Lived in Scotland for awhile and saw people who would pull off the road and set up a picnic!

cube-shaped craps? :D

Hmm… Wombat cubed.

The wombats in captivity spell things with their doo-doo.

Take care and gesundheit.

Had a 2004 CR-V from 2009 to 2012 and never once used the picnic table. I’m sure I’m not alone in that. :p

FYI, the postal service uses motor vehicles now.

“The current longest overland route is Norseman, Western Australia to Border Village, South Australia: 1,460 km (910 mi). The longest air service delivers to remote communities in the outback covering 1,790 km (1,110 mi) over two days.”

Where is this route?

Honda CRV – another example of decontenting. They also had fold away tray table for the front seat, and the rear seatback could be dropped back to make a bed.

Lately this comic has had too many feature on animal crap and I think it stinks.

Which is why Wombats have a permanent pained look and clenched teeth…

What!? Just days before we plan to take our 2003 Honda CR-V to the scrap yard we learn here it has a picnic table. We ran out to the garage to see it for the first time just now. All those camping trips we could used it! All those cluttered picnic tables we could have cleared off!

Huh. I read a book about cubed shaped wombat poop.
