Revised estimates for the number of human and bacteria cells in the body: …the numbers are similar enough that each defecation event may flip the ratio to favor human cells over bacteria.

First time I’ve ever heard it called an “event”.
Is every dump the defining event of my life!
A shift in the balance of power every time you toss out the legislature and the civil servants.
We are legion
“defecation event”
Sounds like something you might pay to attend. I suppose “poop” is just too straightforward.
Anything can be an event, could also be described as a happening, as in sh!t happens.
This fecal goldmine of information cost how much?
And took how long to , umm… extrude?
I’m reminded of this:
“I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn you on”
Next time someone says the “10 times as many bacteria” line I’m telling him he’s full of #^it.
We have a winner!
The study appears to confirm anecdotal evidence documented in the Amazon review section for sugarless Gummy Bears.

Hey! I’ll have you know that Ol’ Jerome, my Greater Glengarry Moosehound, thinks his daily Trudeaus are events of significance!
So Orthodox Jews who say a prayer after a successful dump are on to something.
I new diarrhea was good for something.
So as an “anal”-olgy, having regular Democraps are liberating parasite ridding events for the body politic. Interesting but scary post. It also explains why most European politicians appear so constipated: they’re full of themselves.
With a SEM of 25% and CV of 52%, it’s clear that not all defecation events are created equal.
I got nuthin.
Maybe they should nose farther up the dark hole and do a composite paper on the anatomy of crap,after all the nose knows.
$hit’s goin’ down, homey.
To paraphrase Stephen Leacock – “I’m sitting in the smallest room of the house reading your material in front of me. Very soon it will be behind me.”
hey pajama BOY, it’s called $hitting in the real world
some squawk about leftards being PC, and then emulate them!!!
Does the average person even understand the difference between 10exp13 and 10exp14? The average person is equally concerned about parts-per-million and parts-per-billion in the environment.
These huge numbers of bacteria become interesting when we consider things like travel to Mars. We aren’t sending, say, four people, we’re sending an army of a hundred trillion organisms.
Shawn, were you talking about Canadian federal elections?
Geez Jamie, that’s a good question. When Canada elected the Turdeau Liberals last October, was that the equivalent of a massive nation-scale toilet-plugging defecation event?
@turtle: I saw the movie “The Martian”. When he began planting potatoes I said to myself, so it starts, the terraforming of Mars. I found that amusing considering the rigorous protocols taken to prevent that sort of thing.
Really? Somebody probably pulled the numbers out their arse.
Just another way that my morning coffee is supremely healthy for me !
Close. The bowl was full to the brim and the flush handle was pushed past the point of no return…things are just a – spiraling down.
