Fun Fact Friday - Missed Opportunity

Yesterday was Friday. And Fun Fact Saturday just isn't a thing. Sure, there's still some alliteration, but it's just not the same.

So I'm sorry about missing Fun Fact Friday. I am sure, dear reader, that you pined for knowledge and, perhaps, me. That may not be the case. Yesterday I spent a good portion of my day on a bus, and as conducive as buses are to the learning of fun facts, I only gained the knowledge that one of my fellow passengers has very particular pillow tastes. (She can only sleep on pillows that aren't her pillows when she is in a hotel and has to, guys. It's important, okay?)

Anyway I was going to share something probably interesting with you. It's banned book week! I was going to find some awesome fact about banned books, but I did not. And now this may just seem like a cruel taunt. So as what I hope may be some small consolation I offer you this bit of information that I heard on NPR today:

People are ninety percent poop.

There was something about poop transplants. (I now want one, just by the way.) They mentioned something about microbes or bacteria or organisms. There was something about MS involved and a man from Australia. I would tell you more, but I had to get out of the car before the story ended and I don't know if the "people are ninety percent poop" was ever really explained in a way that can be easily organized onto a people/poop pie chart. I was mostly distracted by the fact that a show on NPR (or perhaps just its New Hampshire affiliate station NHPR) dedicated a significant number of minutes to discussing poop.

Poop, I say! They were talking about poop!

So, I am sorry that I missed our date yesterday, dear reader. But in the past I have found that talking about feces heals all wounds. So hopefully, in some small way, this shit will make up for it.
