eating poo

This is not exactly the true story

The schoolkids were trying to steal it. I can't find the follow-up article.

It's about coprophagia not coprophilia.

Oh yuck. I never could resist a dare.

A friend of mine's son spent one summer a few years ago in York museum guarding coprolite specimens. He even got his picture in the paper. People kept trying to steal the exhibits. Just weird.

OMG ive just googled it. I don't think my little DGD is anything like this, she was just experimenting and has not to my knowledge done it again but for adults its disgusting.

Having just googled it my advice is - don't google it!

whats coprophilia is it eating poo or drinking tea?

Are we just the innocents caught up unwittingly in something of which we know nothing?

Google it if you dare - that isn't what I thought this thread was about at all!

Pardon?

Someone on the Soop's Kitcheners thread has referred to this as a 'conversation about coprophilia'!!!

DBH always says that they are the sweepings off the floor too, but he prefers it because he says that leaves are too strong. That's because he is stuck on English breakfast and won't try any others.

None of them remotely resemble poo.

No - although if you get a split one the 'tea' is more like powder!

DM used to 'tchh'! and say that tea bags were made with the sweepings up from the floor! (I know they're not of course, before any tea companies write in protest.)

I use teabags even though a lecturer, upon her return from India, informed me that during a visit to a tea plant, she was told that there are nine grades of tea and tea bags are the tenth! Ah well - it's quicker and easier (and can't say I've noticed much difference).

Ana I use either; I always mean to use loose tea and have another very nice teapot which I bought recently, but more often than not it is a teabag in a mug

Not until 4pm here. Something inherited from my mother that I can't shake off. Leaf or teabags, either will do.

Do you use leaf tea or teabags, rosequartz?

I hate to miss my t, ethel. Get withdrawal symptoms. In fact a nice cuppa in a minute will just put me right

Im ok with someone missing my 't ' out Holly and jarowena, lol. I just gave a reminder to some who often forget.

I have a horrible feeling that I may have done, I simply didn't notice the 't', I apologise if I did.

Me too - I hadn't noticed the 't' until now. Many apologies ethel

I remember when I was about 7 in hospital having my tonsils out and a nurse asked me if I had" opened my bowels" I hadn't a clue what she meant so I said " I dunno" . She got quite cross with me.
Darwin would say that disgust with poo is universal since it means we avoid something that could harm our survival.

I don't mind anyone calling me ethel or maybe bags, just if you want to call me by my full name its etheltbags1, I used 'rose' as a shortened version for 'rosequartz' but I realised that 'rosesarered' is also a name to be confused with so in future I will use everyone's proper name.Some people were calling me ethelbags.
