McMurdo's Poop

OK, Ben you better be reading the blog because this one's for you! This is a box of dried poop that takes all 950 of us about 3 weeks to fill.
No, it's not hot chocolate. The sewer treatment plant man was NOT happy with our behavior. He kept correcting me when I called it "poop." Um, it's biomass! This guy was serious about his shit.

Yep, looks like poop, smells like poop, and feels like poop. (Sorry Mom! Vulgar, I know.)


We've filled two boxes so far! And just think, little tomato plants grow happily in there right now, yet it will all go to waste and just be incinerated back in the U.S. My little garden in Montana could use some good manure like this!

My friend, JoJo, would not let me touch her camera after this moment. Wonder why?

Even I am a bit confused.. just because you guys fill boxes with poop doesnt mean you should play with it. God made it come out the rear end of people for exactly that reason. If it was designed to be played with then it would be called "pee" and come out the front side.
