Almost made a FPP on this myself yesterday. See also related literature: What bird did that? and What Shat That?

poop is the shit.

That is pretty adorable. My eight year old is going to love the shit out of this.

Let the thread shitting begin!

First!

This is really cute and my girlfriend's six and seven year-old would love this. But there appears to be only three examples and I need to keep them occupied for at least thirty minutes if I'm going to polish off that bottle of Chianti we (me and my girlfriend, that is) opened last night.

This will be the only comment in this thread not to use the word 'shit.'

Guess I really DO know shit. 3/3! I earned my certificate!
Lifting the giraffe's tail was the best part.

dung

O.E. dung "manure," from PIE *dhengh- "covering" (cf. Lith. dengti "to cover," O.Ir. dingim "I press"); the word recalls the ancient Gmc. custom (reported by Tacitus) of covering underground shelters with manure to keep in warmth in winter.

The ostrich farting is hilarious. Long live the FFPP!

In Toronto they sold animal dung from the zoo for use in your garden. "Zoo Poo". Seemed like a good way to make a little cash.

You know what the white stuff in bird poop is? That's bird poop too.

Miss ya, Kurt.

This FPP is brown and sounds like a bell.

I am humiliated to have gotten the first one wrong (I guessed zebra for giraffe.) I work at a zoo, damn it, I should know these things. I did poorly on a "guess who pooped what?" biofacts cart the other day, too. Suddenly I feel unqualified for my job.


I can say with some authority that tiger poop is the single foulest substance I've ever encountered and I'm darn glad dealing with it is not part of a normal day for me.

Three for three on number 2, using the process of elimination.

I see what I did there.

I suck at this: I picked Shinola.

What a strange world we live in. Sex has to be swept under the carpet and avoided at all costs, but shit and vomit are standard children's fare.

Did anyone else try to drag the bird flying in the background into the ostrich's mouth?

Any day is a good day when I'm prompted to remember the prime number shitting bear.

Bring on the pooping horses.

Correct! Giraffe poop falls from very high up and scatters when it lands.

There is no snarky comment that could improve on this sentence in any way.

Actually, it turns out it was Frank who did all the poops. He did another one just now.

Fun. I aced it but that's because I had the good fortune to be on a safari in Africa last year and on one of our first rides, we took a break for big five turd tutoring. There's nothing quite like finding fresh rhino shit in the morning, you know it's going to be an interesting day...

Ok, I know, I have to stop, but . . . .

LOL, whenever I see this on the front page I want to say, loudly and proudly:

I POOPED!
