Mortimer was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £60 in court costs.

Is this the help he [...]

Animals Get All The Benefit While We Do All The Work

April 16th, 2008 No Comments

According to this blog, animals produce 130 times the amount of excrement that human beings do.
And yet…

Humans produce roughly 130 times the amount of philosophy that animals do.
We not only feed them, but supply them with endless wisdom.
They shit up the air with their foul emissions while we grind our brains to find answers to [...]

Kant Get No Satisfaction

April 14th, 2008 No Comments

Kant wrote The Critique of Pure Reason in 1781. It was 800 long pages of thick Philosophy and no one wanted to read it.
He also wrote about the great earthquake of Lisbon and this was so popular it sold by the page.

So, high thoughts give way to the low.
Philosophy is for later,
The shit is for [...]

Cat Shit Coffee - One Hundred Dollar

April 11th, 2008 No Comments

The most expensive coffee in the world costs $100 US for a shot and comes from cat shit.
First the coffee cherry is eaten by an Asian Palm Civet (not really a cat, but similar)

Then the bean is passed into the civit dung - it cannot digest the bean.
Then a human fetches the bean and grinds [...]

Second Class Delivery… of Shit

April 10th, 2008 No Comments

This guy posted shit through his neighbour’s letterbox after he saw her act aggresively.
When it got to court the man, Robert Armstrong, described himself as a “knight in shining armour”.

A case of polishing a jobby.
What’s the worst case of neighbour abuse that you have ever committed?

April 8th, 2008 No Comments

Here is part of a letter of complaint recently received at the local Council in Kirklees, Yorkshire, England.
My wife and myself regularly take our grandchildren to Crow Nest Park in Dewsbury on Sunday mornings, and we all really enjoy the swings and slides etc.
However, the last two Sundays (March 7 and March 16) the slides [...]

Her name is Jill Martin and after serving up the curry and watching her husband, Donald take a mouthful, she burst out laughing and confessed to him.

What Will Be the Enduring Human Legacy: Philosophy or Shit?

April 4th, 2008 No Comments

Fourteen fragments of fossilised faeces have been found in a cave in Oregon, USA. Scientists are happy for they have “fresh” evidence in their puzzle to find how humans make their appearance in the American continent.
Is there any philosophy who survives from this time?

And in the future - what will remain?
Will our petrified [...]

Marxism in The Shit

April 2nd, 2008 No Comments

While Zimbabwe awaits election results, the economic situation forces people to use human shit as fertilizer for their crops.

The Zimbabwean Broadcasting Corporation has reported that villagers from Chihota are fighting shortages and inflation by collecting human waste in specially designed toilets.
The resulting “humanure” replaces the ordinary compound D and ammonium nitrate fertilisers which are in [...]

The Will To Power (via Dung)

April 1st, 2008 No Comments

Nietzsche (him again) wrote about the will to power and he was thinking about the brain.
But what if he had thought about the other end of the body? Now they’re saying you can turn horse shit into electricity.
The stables SUNY Cobleskill (a university in New York state) produce 20 tons of cow and horse shit [...]
