About Dung beetles live in many different habitats, including desert, farmland, forest, and grasslands. They do not like extremely cold or dry weather. They occur on all continents except Antarctica.

Dung beetles eat dung excreted by herbivores and omnivores, and prefer that produced by the former. Many of them also feed on mushrooms and decaying leaves and fruits. They do not need to eat or drink anything else because the dung provides all the necessary nutrients. The larvae feeds on the undigested plant fiber in the dung, while the adults do not eat solid food at all. Instead they use their mouthparts to squeeze and suck the juice from the manure, a liquid full of micro-organisms and other nutrients.

Dedicated to John, who I know can appreciate this joke, might not be sharp enough, clear it is and not cropped or anything my dear friend;))) Please comment!!! xxJen

Does that mean I don't have to put my not-so-nice toilet shots on here??;)) You can't have more of those hilarious stories...or??

I know these toilets with metal pipes inside yes, drove from Holland to Capetown, so I met alll kinds of, it was also tough to do it just outside, as like in Syria, Jordan, Egypt or Ethiopia there were all kind of nice people around all the time as soon as you got out of the car..and realising I have been really sick for over 3 weeks by food poisoning on the way.....it wasn't very de-light-ful all that time;)))
Your poor collegue, did he ever recover??? Must say I have been lucky, as becoming experienced after some time..;))

Have a safe toiletjourney, xxJen

High fibre diet?

OK, I promised another real life toilet story if you posted another toilet pic, so I guess this counts...

This time was in Adana, Turkey, in a quite comfortable office building in about 1986. My colleague complained that he had sat on the perfectly adequate western style toilet and felt a searing pain in his a#@. Now, you may or may not know that many Turkish toilets have a little pipe at the back that keeps a constant flow of running water. Well, I guess on this occasion the pipe extend just a little too far. I just hope not too many other people had experienced the same problem before my friend...
