Carolyn,

Thanks for the response. I was beginning to think that no one 
would answer, if the post didn't contain some reference to Art or 
Life. Now that I'm thinking about that topic, this came from a sick 
friend a few days ago. With all this Serrano talk, maybe this is 
appropriate. I'll bet your boys would LOVE this:

People who nurse the desire to examine 78 different kinds of 
poop can now do so in Japan, where an animal and human 
excrement display is being shown at the Tokyo Science 
Museum. The exhibit -- titled "All the Poop" -- arrived in Tokyo last 
month from Osaka. The organisers say they want children to 
learn about health and the environment by seeing fossils and 
dried dung heaps. Visitors learn that a hyena's droppings are 
slightly white because they eat bones. Koala poop smells good 
because they eat eucalyptus leaves.

Museum visits are incomplete without souvenirs, and this one 
won't disappoint. Big sellers in the museum shop include 
moose-dropping key chains, wrapping paper made of recycled 
elephant dung, and postcards of animals "pooping".
