This is amazing!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I didn't realize it would involve such fun subject matter. Weeeeeee!

I've always hesitated to say this because of CL's well-known fetish on the subject, but I'm the proud owner of six coprolites.

Wouldn't it be apropos for in a far distant epoch the only mortal remains of your beloved vor might be nothing more than a coprolite, it's shape a mute witness to the canal where so many virile hunky mens found their pleasure ??

I gave PZed a ride to a local Creation "Museum" (read "store front") at Skepticon 4. The "tour guide" told me that croplites couldn't happen because the turd would crumble before it was fossilized. I pointed out that I'd seen elk turds covered in boiling mud at Yellowstone, and they had a very good chance of fossilization. He looked confused.

My grad school has a class on ancient latrine hunting and parasitology of ancient people. I am not sure if I can take the class, but I really hope I can.
