    I am getting rid of my toilet!

    I was watching Spike TV last night and they were showing a program about the "Worst Jobs in the World". Anyway, check out this bizarre ecommerce project a lady has undertaken. She has two dogs. She feeds them this mixture of dry and wet foods, waits for them to poop, collects the poop, puts them in a bag, puts messages on the bags and sells them on the internet. She says her best customers are ex-lovers. The interesting thing was that she had some 10 USPS boxes on her table ready to ship. Is this a crazy idea or what? Inspired by this lady's creativity, I am going to start an ecommerce site right after I finish my burrito.

    Wow. I wonder if she could be sued if someone got worms or something when they opened the bag.

    there was a site that about 2 years ago, smellypoop.com, that would do the same but with more exotic types. Camel costed $45. They are now shut down I think. Health Standards were not met in that company.

    Yes it proves that.

    But from that the inferences are more interesting:

    Society has materialistic people in it.
    Society has stupid people in it.


    I blame it on the education system and not screening embros for extremly low iq genes.

    I'd rather sell information than crap; much easier, cheaper, and smells nicer.

    With a large dog and 2 people, not including myself, in this house I could really start quite an operation.
