I’m surprised nobody has yet brought up Michelle Hines’ “World Record #4: Peristaltic Action.” It’s literally a work of art (i.e., fake), but it certainly deserves honorable mention.

Here is the artist’s description:

In February 1995, working in conjunction with nutritionists at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, I adopted a super fiber-rich diet which allowed me to successfully produce a single extruded excrement the exact length of my colon: 26 feet. I documented the extrusion at the Cranbrook-Kingswood High School Bowling Alley, Bloomfield Hills, MI, which offered a length of floor suitable for the process and measuring the results. The cathartic diet was supplemented by a high intake of Metamucil fiber substance. The weeklong endurance prior to the event was ensured by the employment of a plug specifically designed to curtail any premature excretions.

If you want to see the pictures or the video, you’ll have to google for them yourself.

Surprised that nobody has asked why a turd is tapered.

It’s to stop your arsehole closing with a clang
