“Prehistoric Poo” sounds like a Frank Zappa song.

Thanks, FReeper to (not) be named later.

It occurs because of the Illinois Enema Bandit.

The cause of these local extinctions is unknown, but climate changes and hunting by humans are two possibilities.

I figured it was my fault.

Researchers have even suggested that a meteorite strike was the cause. climate changes and hunting by humans are two possibilities

Leading cause with lots of evidence world wide. Climate Change is what happened AFTER the Strike, which was from comet debris and the strikes lasted perhaps 100 years. Most of North America, not covered by ice, was engulfed in fire storms which burned off 4% of Earth’s vegetation and lower atmospheric oxygen. Immediately after, the Earth was plunged into the Younger Dryas event which lasted 1000 years and was the coldest time ever.

Cosmic Debris?

Before the 1920s Prohibition and rise of the Mob, that is what they called “a stoolie”.

Coprology always seemed like a weird specialty, even though we all do it with our own — “OMG, this one feels like a can of beer!” or even just “How’d I do?” I’ve got a book about it, somewhere, I guess I just have to follow my nose. I’ve never wanted to know what they used to make the ink.

An our millennials are worried about cow farts!

[SunkenCiv]

Looks like someone — or something — got their poop in a group.

Should have banned internal combustion engines sooner than we had thought.

“comet debris” - where you got ‘cosmic’ is anybody’s guess.
