I have just one question:

[dixiegrrrrl]

Of all the poop in the world...
who decided that batshit was the craziest????

[Marie Marie]

1. Bears!

They just got sick of the whole "does a bear shit in the woods" phrase and wanted to move the shit meme to another species.

[lastlib]

2. I don't know who decided, but.....

I do know the Army uses it for explosives and gunpowder for bullets. Not cow poop, not pig poop, not dog poop--bat poop.

Old joke from the 60s:

Batman: "Robin, the Batmobile is out of fuel!"

Robin: "Holy Aminoguanidine Bicarbonate, Batman, what are we going to do now?"

(Aminoguanidine Bicarbonate is the active explosive ingredient in bat-poop. The stuff the Army uses for explosives and gunpowder. My mother worked as a purchaser for an Army munitions factory years ago, and bought the stuff by the truckload.)

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. I had no idea...fascinating.

People actually collect and sell bat poop?????

[catnhatnh]

3. How crazy can one be?

Try this-take a poop while hanging naked from the ceiling....

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. naked and upside down, yet.

[benld74]

6. Actually, bats poop downside up

[Iggo]

7. George Carlin, maybe?

Cheech and Chong?

I dunno.

[lame54]

8. Are all Bulls liars?

[pinboy3niner]

9. Dunno, I'm guano go google it...brb. nt

[lillypaddle]

10. A question for the ages ...

[malthaussen]

11. All the other ones were already taken?

[rivegauche]

12. Apeshit used to be the standard, no more I guess

[trof]

13. Used to be apeshit.

'Charlie just went apeshit when he found out he was being audited.'

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Apeshit always had the connotation of being wildly angry

but I have only heard batshit in terms of being crazy.

[pinboy3niner]

15. Michele Bachmann's eyes being the prime example

Along with everything that comes out of her mouth.

[trof]

17. true

[True Dough]

16. Batshit gets the cool name

"guano." Doesn't sound so bad that way.

Bear shit gets the label "scat." Also a nice euphemism.


That reminds me of an old joke:

A bear is taking a shit in the woods one day and it's messy. A rabbit hops along and notices things aren't going well.

"What's wrong?" the rabbit asks the struggling bear.

"Do you ever have shit stick to your fur? Happens to me all the time," the bear says.

"Nope, that's never a problem for me," the rabbit replies.

So the bear wipes his ass with the rabbit.
