So.
javafiend and I had a great need to discover the origins of the phrase "to go pear-shaped," and of course we went to the Great Interweb for our answers. I declared that the Great Interweb was nothing more than a modern-day oracle, offering us the answers to every pressing question known to man.
To test this theory, we went to the Oracle with the most important question we could think of:
WHY IS POOP BROWN?
Oh, the Great Interweb had the answer right away.
The best gem from the site?
There are those who discount the writings of "The Steatopygia" and claim that brown poop was created by God as a result of the great flood of Noah. God reportedly had created a rainbow, and given people brown poop, as a means to remind people that he would never bring another great flood on mankind.
As for the chemical process that causes food to turn brown inside the digestive system, the process is rather simple. When water mixes with air inside our digestive system, the walls of the intestine start to rust. It is the mixture of intestinal rust with the digested food that gives the poop the pleasant brown color and distinctive odor. I am told that it tastes alot like chicken too!
Yessssss.
