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

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

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.

Oh yuck. I never could resist a dare. grin

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.

It's about coprophagia not coprophilia.

This is not exactly the true story

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