Incremental Excrement

This from yesterday’s edition of ‘The Sunday Times’:

“More than 70 types of excrement have gone on display at a museum in Japan. The Tokyo science museum exhibition All The Poop has a touch-and-feel section, and the highlights include 4,500-year-old human droppings. The organiser, Midori Taguchi, said ‘There’s something for everyone.’”

Well, I don’t think there’s anything there for me. I so hate to generalise in this way but, in my opinion, once you have felt one collection of droppings you have felt them all.

As always, I am prepared to be wrong. If anyone is moved to visit this display of historic shit, please let me know if the texture is worth a visit.

Many thanks.

I’m tempted to think this is some sort of cultural thing, perhaps similar to the reason that the Japanese are very far ahead in the high-tech toilet race.

Correct me if I’m wrong, (I’m sure you will, as I frequently am), but isn’t Midori Taguchi the person who wrote that Japanese literary classic book “Everyone Poops”?

Nope, That would be Taro Gomi.
