No such thing as a Poop Fairy

The Santa Cruz Parks & Recreation Department launched a new sign campaign along West Cliff Drive reminding people that there is no magical fairy that floats along the oceanside walking path and makes dog poop disappear.

The sign, has a purple fairy with a clothes pins covering her nose and a message alerting dog owners that dog waste does not biodegrade like wild animal waste -- it sticks around for a long time. It contains harmful bacteria, pollutes groundwater, and smells disgusting on the bottom of a shoe.

Santa Cruz paid $1,350 for the new poop fairy signs. A fine for not picking up after your dog could cost more than $100.

Modern Toliet Restaurant

I guess I need to make a trip to Taiwan to check out this bathroom-themed restaurant called Modern Toilet.  Apparently, the inspiration for this place came from a robot character from the Japanese cartoon Dr. Slump who loved to "play with poop and swirl it on a stick."By the way, there is also an  ice cream shop selling swirled chocolate ice cream on top of paper squat toilets.

Here are some photo to give you an idea of that the place looks like:

Deja poo

The undeniably eerie feeling that you've seen all this shit before.

Valentines Day

Gifts of jewelry and chocolate are appropiate for VD day.  So what kind of stone would be appropiate for someone like me?  Coprolite!

Coprolite is fossilized animal waste i.e. "dung stone".

My poo collection won't be complete until I get this (hint hint)...

Get a load of this...

With the holidays here, it's time to think about recycled paper sources.  One of my favorites is Poo Poo Paper who makes orderless paper products from Elephant Poo.  You can check out their stuff here:  http://new.poopoopaper.com/

FECAL MATTER O'FACTS

Poop, poo, dung, doo, pies, patties - whatever you want to call it - has been used for millenia in so many useful ways: as a fuel; as a building material; as an insect repellant. POOPOOPAPER™ products simply continue a long time tradition by using poop as the base for our unique pulp mixtures.
