I wonder - if you give a million wombats a million bales of mixed fodder and a million years, can they recreate Mao's mausoleum in Tienanmen Square?

Ah.... Poop! I stopped reading the article when I got to the Wombat selfie. Now I am fully in-formed!
And a better person for having the full story!

For anyone who's curious, this is a wombat:

I must confess that 1. I didn't know that wombat poop was a parellelopiped in shape; 2. I therefore have not worried much about how or why.

Have wombats been around for enough eons that there might be wombat coprolites to make into jewelry? I have a small dinosaur coprolite that is kind of neat but I wouldn't make that turd into a necklace, it looks just like a piece of poop.

You didn't read the article, did you. Smile

Here's a tease- "We currently have only two methods to manufacture cubes: We mold it, or we cut it. Now, we have this third method,"

I've known some guys who were really square, and they were assholes, too. What I don't know is if they had square assholes.

Cubic poop? Sounds like the name of a band. Not a good band.
