Disgust is universal it seems

Disgust is universal it seems. Can anyone think of any other universal disgusts out there?
Is this a double post? It's not the same article, but both posts are about the Cloaca exhibition.
(I love Cloaca, btw.)

I had missed the old post, so I am glad to have caught it via this post.
Anyway, here are some good photos of the machine if anyone is interested (like I was).

Did someone say cloaca? Did anyone here grow up on a farm? I didn't, but I hear stories:
Some men use hens as a sexual object, inserting their penis into the cloaca, an all-purpose channel for wastes and for the passage of the egg. This is usually fatal to the hen, and in some cases she will be deliberately decapitated just before ejaculation in order to intensify the convulsions of its sphincter.
Hey, you're the one who asked for universal disgust, don't kill the messenger.

whoah. It looks like the messenger killed the thread.
Another theory about the origin of certain reactions of disgust addresses "ideologically motivated behaviours". (Scroll down to highlighted text to view pertinent text.)

Didn't see any mention of incest in the article. Doesn't that gross anybody out anymore?

For those looking for a pop-scholarly treatment of the issue, I recommend The Anatomy of Disgust.
