wow!
Much food for thought here....

1. As well as niblets, I find most seeds come straight through unscathed - I eat lots of NICE seeded BAPS

2. Coloured foods - not really sure.

3. I reckon poo would definitely retain it's smell after freezing / defrosting. We feed our dog tripe that's been frozen & it reeks of fresh wee. Consistency would alter, I imagine; think how fats disintegrate on freezing.

4. Phantom poos - that's a great mystery.

5. I am a girl and talk about poo / my bowel habits to everyone I know. What could be more natural?

6. White dog poo - a blast from the 70's. These days most dogs are fed on dried food, hence stinky nasty poo. A year or so ago we discovered the BARF diet (bones and raw food) and since feeding our dog on that, her poos turn white after a couple of days - I think thats the raw bones in her diet, so can't imagine human poo reacting the same way. If you like, I could deposit one of my poos in our garden (next to a dog poo) and chart any changes?

7. I don't want poo on my fingers, oh no, like to use thick reams of bog-roll. Must get through several a week since I poo 3-4 times a day.

8. Smelling bad is an intrinsic quality of poo. Perhaps it's to do with marking territory? Or is that just wee....

9. It floats if you've eaten plenty of fibre, sinks if you haven't.

10. Don't fancy a poo pencil.

11. No flippers lol :o) "touching cloth" it is then.

12. See 7. Depends on diet / colonic health / digestive system etc.

13. It's a blighter when the urge to wee interupts mid-poo. Depending on the tone of one's pelvic floor / ringpiece et al the processes of elimination could be alternated. My preference is to wee first, then flush as the poo is 1/3 out so that depending on velocity / weight ratio, any splash-back is clean water. I am a girl and technically we can do both simultaneousy but I find that a tad distasteful. I have on occasion done a poo-wee-sneeze: the sneeze caused my sphincter to snap off the poo half-way on its journey, wee was also interupted mid-flow. My thighs were covered in bogey-snot, then poo part deux emerged together with wee causing unclean splashback. Wouldn't recommend it.

14. Yep, explosion poos are not nice. My bottom does not like those either because they can sting and I have an anal fissure and that smarts and bleeds.
