I have a startlingly slow metabolism, yet I poop probably once or maybe twice daily. I eat well, but poop weird. Dave's metabolism may be off the charts, as most seriously thin lazy people's are, but yours may be just normal.

For our next experiment, we should hide Trashcanman on the Space Shuttle and see if he jacks off.

Great job! Very informative.

Artful, I laughed about your post for at least 3 minutes! But don't forget, I need to lash him first for his dog exploits. Then we can send him up.

then there's me, who eats like crazy, is a skinny little shit, and shits once every three days...but is never constipated.

I'm shamefully unproductive regardless of the circumstances. I've been a vegetarian for the last eight years. I've gone from swimming 15 hr/wk to relative inactivity. It doesn't matter whether I'm eating Taco Bell or tofu on a daily basis--the results are always disappointing. Yes, I understand that elusive hope, AB2G... I'd be willing to repeat the experiement, adjusted for vegetarianism (ovo lacto, nothing with a face) and including EXERCISE... better if this is done on the weekend, because I have a large bohemian college campus to walk around.

Maybe it's a girl thing. I shit just like AB2K. However, I'm pretty sure I eat more than you, AB. I'm a fucking pig! I suffer from hyperactivitiy so it gets insinerated in my gut somewhere. I poop maybe once a day, or less. Except for a fat ass I can see no other place that the food goes. It's weird!

I went skiing to austria last week, i don't know what they put in their food over there or if it was something to do with the altitude but i was crapping twice a day and on the last two days i reached the magical three craps in one day.

yes, activated charcoal is a very bad cocktail. I have had it three times. I intended to commit suicide several times over the past three years. The charcoal is not the deterent for overdosing on prescription drugs. Neither is psychotherapy or prescription drugs. I haven't really found the answer yet. I am still pondering the reason for life.

i poopies when i get up in the morning and before i go to bed.... its weird cos over nite a poopie forms that needs a squeeze out in the morning been like this for long time. When i am ill, by god i never stop!!! Is it normal to poopie at those times in the day?

Ahh. Sweet science! I found this very interesting. Never knew that PoopReporters had worked together on such an in-depth project.

I am sure no two people would have the same results - our pooping habiots are all different. If I went twice in one day I'd think I had the runs! But, as you say, all fascinating stuff!

But what is a twinkle unit - I mean I know it is a poop size measure, but how big is it? How will I know if my poops are 1, 2 or 3 TWS!!? Or more!!!

You've never had a Twinkie?!? (*falls over in a dead faint*)

Good grief. You have internet access; order some from Hostess Foods !

GGG - very sorry to disappoint!! But I'd never heard of one! And that was after I looked properly and saw it was twinkie, not twinkle!! Now I've taken your advice and seen them, it all makes sense!! But how long are they would you say?

PS - I'll pass on the order thanks - don't eat sweet things either!!

We should increase the subjects for the next poop sync. Instead of two, we should use ten subjects (five pairs).

Also to avoid shit shock, we should pair up two people with similar diets. Though the two subjects will eat the same thing, they will not have to significantly alter their diets.

Lastly, increase the duration of the study from, a few days, to a week.
