Where do you do your best thinking?

 


Because I can't stand to use the Twitter app on my iDevice, I haven't had any place to post the random thoughts and observations that occur to me from time to time. So, after a 7-year hiatus, I've returned to this space.

Today's random thought is: feces. When I was in my twenties, a study was released whose conclusion was that one's stool should float in the toilet. The reasoning was that people should eat lots of fiber, and the more fiber present in feces, the more buoyant it is.

Some years (decades) later, a study was released whose conclusion was that one's stool should sink in the toilet. According to it, high fat content also makes feces float, and it could be caused by any number of unhealthy conditions.

What would they say if one's bowel movement half sinks, and half floats?

On a related topic, at one time I had this blog set up to flush its content onto Twitter. I don't know if that still works, but if you leave a comment please include your Twitter handle, if it isn't evident from your reader ID, and let me know you saw it post there. Thanks!
