One thing I really hate ... or should I say gives me the s#its ... while driving this meat puppet around that I'm living in for this lifetime, is having to do number 1s and number 2s.
When I was visiting the MONA art gallery in Tasmania to go #1 I found myself using this weird toilet pictured above, not knowing what it was all about, and later finding out is designed with mirrors so that you can view yourself poo, something that is still not on my "To Do" list, by the way.

There is even a machine that makes poo (pictured above), although I didn't get to see ... or smell it in motion the day I was there.
I guess if you are like me, you tend not to think too much about wee and poo, but I thought it was amusing that the site Hobart wants to build its new Eden project on calls for moving the old sewerage works to somewhere else in the city.
I wrote about reading of plans for Hobart's Eden project in this post -
Ogoh! I Missed the Burning
I guess the South Park guys had a point long before Hobart though when it comes to the movement of a sewerage works to make a garden.
I think I've learned a lesson today about bathrooms, but some s#it I just don't want to know about really:-)
I was reading David Walsh's (owner of MONA) autobiography 'A Bone of Fact', where he wrote in a footnote that one of his favourite euphemisms for doing number 2s is, "going to do modern art", and he should know:-)
Ogoh! I Missed the Burning

"Going to the toilet is an everyday event for most of us, but unlike other animals, we have a real aversion to our bodily waste. Inspired by her dog's love of poo, Cath Simpson set about investigating how we can use our poo for good.."
This is a good podcast about faecal matters, which was aired on Australia's national radio -
Sh*t happens!
