Contest #27: A Caption For Skatole

Posted 02.28.2008 by Dave (11451)
Voting has finished. See the winner here!

Skatole is a mildly toxic white crystalline organic compound with chemical formula C9H9N, Wikipedia says. "It occurs naturally in feces (it is produced from tryptophan in the mammalian digestive tract), beets, and coal tar, and has a strong fecal odor."

Over on the forums, Mark of Stain says, "I was rummaging in the buffet when I came across my molecular model kits left over from freshman chemistry. I looked up the formula for skatole and made a model of it to put on the toilet tank in the guest bath. The dark blue node is nitrogen, the black are carbon, and light blue are hydrogen. The methyl group conveniently forms a stand for it."

Daphne thinks this would make a cool t-shirt design for PoopReporter science nerds. I agree. But unless we intend to produce the most obscure poop t-shirt in the world, it needs a funny line to make people know there's something bathroom going on here. I suggested a simple "What's that smell?" caption. Di Uhreea says she can do better, but only if she gets a free t-shirt in return for her wisdom.

And so the contest begins. Please caption this picture of skatole to make a hilarious and scientific t-shirt.

(And yes, I know we never voted on the last contest. That's next on my list.)

Dave, I think this is one design we need in underwear as well. One other thing, maybe we could change the colour of the graphics as well so it looks poopier. Why not shades of brown and the round things could be yellow like corn? Maybe the bands holding the molecule together could be done in a white like twisted toilet paper with perforation marks.

Maybe we could even have flies buzzing around the periphery!

Found this on a page about Skatole:

Why Your Offal Smells Awful (abridged)
Your body ejects poisons and things it won't need,
And these are the things on which you mustn't feed.
If your offal smelt tasty, like fresh cherry pie,
Then you might eat it, and then you would die.
If your offal smells so bad that you kick it off of your plate,
You then may survive and may procreate.
If ever an animal found its waste in good taste,
Evolution has cured that condition post-haste.

i seem to remember from physical chem in grad school that indole is the other aromatic hydrocarbon, but I'll have to check ...
source for checking: The Merck Index (for physical chemistry) (NOT The Merck Manual on Int. Med. -- names are similar .. Index contains the empirical and structural formulae)! Guess i have found a use for my master's in libr and info sci! :)

RoboCrap13 (287) -- 03.09.2008

mbfla -- An education is never a waste.
It's just not always used in it's field of study.
