My father, an accomplished chemist (and an absolute shameless) and my mother, a rocket scientist taught me well about the joys of intellectual pursuit, of any and all things, basic or otherwise. Poop IS funny, interesting and often a cause for daily contemplation. But not in all forms of company. I've found good comrades here. Most of my life, I've dealt with others' crap (many, many species' feces worth) so I've had many-a-serious conversation about poo.... It IS the ultimate fact of life!
