Everyone Poops (Don't Drink the Water)

Swimming with the fishes' feces. Too bad it wasn't whale feces. After a hard day at the fish farm you might need a drink. Or maybe all this just makes you hungry. Maybe it's just the ocean's way taking revenge on humans. We do so like to shit where we eat.
They're farming these fish as a replacement for grouper? Whoever would have thought that the grouper need replacing.
Poor things - I doubt the grouper even had a say in this.

You have to admit miss lynnster, you've been challenged here. The third link (to a page containing the Atlantic Dolphin Shit Drink Recipe) is a "best of the web" find if I ever saw one.

Hilarious post. Man oh man, falling, submerged in fish poop. nnngggg. And then, topped off with a Weird Meat (love that site!) link to bowls of green 'noodles' that end up being fish poo. Reminds me of the ancient childhood song, Great green gobs of stinky slimy...
Yeah, I thought ambergris was whale vomit too but they're not sure which end it comes out, since it has a strong fecal stink when it's fresh. Heirloom whale barf.
Just last night I was perusing the Weid Meat Master List. Incredible. But I'm still squicked-to-the-max about the video of eating giant, hairy, black spiders in Cambodia.

Whoops. Second link refers to vomit, not shit. My sincere apologies and thanks to rdr for the correction. That's much more palatable.

it is assumed the voiding takes place as fecal excretion, because when first cast out, he says, "Well, it smells more like the back end than the front."
No worries.

Y'know, it's funny. I was just thinking it had been a while since the last shit-related MeFi post!

> As I understand it ambergris is whale vomit, not feces.
Interestingly enough, that article spawned a few digg stories referring to ambergris as number 2 as well. Truthiness in action!

This is a shitty post. I've flagged it as fantastic.

I'm also one of the 'isn't ambergris whale vomit?' crowd. I didn't know it was whale caca. Somehow that give the whole concept an added piquancy.

I'd like to point out that the "fish shit" in the Weird Meat / Fish Shit link is actually just a type of seaweed called lokot (which I've eaten a lot of in my day). He updates the post but still gets it wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cebuanos were pulling an "LOL IT'S FISH POOP" on the Weird Meat Guy to see if he would still eat it.

So, just to clarify: Ambergris is whale vomit, but it probably comes out of the whale's ass rather than its mouth, and people used to use it in perfume and jewelry, and some still use it as an aphrodisiac.
I guess that puts it in the same category as eggs—if you think about where it comes from, you won't want it any more.

I may be being a bit thick here but whatever: How do you vomit out of your arse?

You don't, unless you're a sperm whale, which is probably not the case. It's not technically vomit in that case, but "vomit" is shorter and more easily understood than "bilious secretion."

Ah, OK I get it now. And, yes you're right, I'm not a sperm whale.

"Honey, what's that fragrance you're wearing?"
"Whale puke, with hints of giant squid beak and whale ass."

I guess ordering a "Red-headed Slut" or a "Screaming Orgasm" wasn't edgy enough anymore.

Final link states:
"Region, and untreated sewage entering the sea
East Asia: 89%
Latin America/Caribbean: 86%
West & Central Africa: 80%
Caspian Sea: 60%
Mediterranean Sea: 53%"
Notably absent - North America, Northern Europe. East Asia. Can it be these areas are truly off the hook for this one?
