Highest Crap in the world?
The Grand Moulet hut on the side of Mont Blanc has a spectacular loo. On the aproach side - the hut stands on top of a sharks fin of rock with a scramble to get to it. Even though it is 20 degrees below at night the loo is a standard french hole in the ground and outside around the back. It all looks ok until you get in there and peer down the hole. Then you realise you have walked out onto a concrete platform with a thousand foot drop below you. If that doesnt take the urge away from you the cold wind coming up the hole has a shrinking affect. Anyway I needed a crap so I hung my arse over the hole and hung on like hell to the bar on the back of the door (no lock!) I must have been a spoddy science student at the time cause it was second poop in as I watched it spiral down onto the glacier below - I wondered if you could acurately guage the drop by timing how long your shit took to hit the ice below. Ahh but what is the terminal velocity of an average turd?
