Yes perhaps we should just quietly sit on our stools and ...oops! dammit!!
I like to gently rock my babies to sleep in my arms after giving birth.

Be polite, otherwise I will Americanise your name (and that's really not funny!)!
Meanwhile, have a game

i understand that this is a serious medical subject ! on a medical show a doctor explained the difference between "floaters" and "sinkers" - and i am not kidding !!! apparentlyly "floaters" are to be preferred, because it shows that you have had a sufficient intake of roughage; if it's "sinkers" - WATCH OUT (you'll probably be put on a diet of bran and oatmeal - that'll teach you to behave !). hbg
Always. It's the best way to check if you have worms, as (if you have them) they will appear in your turds from time to time. Usually alive. Which put the shits up me (no pun intended) when it happened to me as a kid.
As a slight aside, do you check the paper before dropping it? And, if not, how do you know when you've cleaned up properly?
Oh my, I thought everyone checked. I do, usually quickly as I turn to flush.
Walter - fun game - I only got 2 wrong. Not bad for a chick.

Gee, and I was taught in school that floaters indicated a high fat content within the stool. NOT a healthy thing at all.
Hmmm...I will have to investigate now. Uh, which is healthier that is. I shall post my findings here.
Wow, I didn't expect to find an answer so quickly! But here goes from an excellent site at

Quote: Healthy stool half-floats and half-sinks in water. Stool that floats entirely is usually filled with undigested fat or gas from fermentation. Stool that sinks usually includes undigested minerals or is so compacted from retention that it contains little moisture.
Here is another informative site.

Even though gustavratzenhofer may have started this thread in jest, there really are valid reasons for checking things out! Colon cancer is a deadly disease. Unfortunately all matters fecal are matter of embarrassment for many, like the woman at the following website:

As for me, if I had diarrhea lasting more than 2 days, I'd be off to my doctor a.s.a.p.!
May I recommend a fasting week, with examination of stools -

use a brown corn cob and then a white one to see if you need to use another brown one.....

I'm always amazed by the ones that seemingly disappear!!
It would be you that revives this thread. *arched eyebrow*
