86% of Holy Water is contaminated with fecal matter...

Okay, when I'm done being grossed out and laughing, I'll hope that they add salt and change the water more often.

Gross! Gross! Gross!

When I first saw that headline, my first thought was, no shit Sherlock.

The reality of the science is that fecal matter is fairly well distributed throughout the environment. Even flushing will aerosolize stuff. When I first saw a piece about fecal matter that was on toothbrushes, I assumed the science was limited and it was. Fecal matter is EVERYWHERE! Transfer is endemic.

There aren't many toilets in the sanctuary to my thinking, so this is just one bit of science that's educational, interesting and is going to spin more poop jokes than ever, so all around a good thing.

Except for the baptized babies.

You know those shopping carts in every grocery store?

You know that fold down baby seat, where you put your purse and/or drop your fresh veggies?

every single one of them is contaminated with baby poo.

Enjoy that tomato.

Holy Water?

86% --- No shit.

Yeah, I know that. We're mostly reliant on minimal exposure and minimal building up of tolerances.

So wash your hands, but don't obsess on the Purell, a little bit is probably fine unless you have a severely compromised immune system, in which case Purell isn't going to help you anyway.

Don't swallow poo though, that's gross.

Don't chug the holy water, don't lick the changing station. Make funny jokes.

Wash your produce.

Technically...14% no shit.

This Is why I'm going to hell, I don't bless myself, heck, I very rarely go to church barring a friend/relative wedding/death(kinda almost the same),
As for grocery shopping I always put the sale paper over said poo-poo seat.
So I think I'm almost safe.

 

[Recidiva]

Obviously, we need a better quality toilet paper, or a fingernail scan before entering church.

Whose been walking in here with poop on their soul?

New sermon idea, free.

This pretty much covers my theory about being "ritually" clean and blessed.

Hell, I'm a girl, to many people I am constantly ritually unclean for lots of reasons.

Oops. Symbolic backfire.

You haven't seen the recent research into fecal bacteria? It seems that poo implants are the way to go in order to repair microbial problems in sick individuals.

Poo to the rescue!

Well, I figure...if people as a group are able to create a shared eternal reality, I should be able to do it for myself. Why not? It'll be smaller and pretty dark and I won't be there so it doesn't really matter in the end.

The baby poo dripped down into the basket portion and the little 'shit factory' wiped the handle on the way in.

Did you know that 90% of after dinner mints in restaurants test positive for human urine?

Poo to the rescue!

I did! I posted it in the cool science thread.

It's not just for C. difficile, it's a disgusting new diet plan!

Hopefully it will transform attitudes about obesity in the same way that genetics altered attitudes about disease.

No, it isn't the curse of sloth.

It is a sad fact that 100% of humans test for urine and fecal matter.

Oh man, I'm screw now, and the mints, and those were pretty tasty mints too.(spits)
Damn little babies and crappy kids.

You mean the filter you attached to your faucet that has been proven to be a nearly perfect breeding ground for bacteria which are plenty small enough to go right between the filter elements?

I've done the filter in the fridge thing. The inability to clean any water-jug source thing like in an office that stands around forever at room temperature oogied me out.

Now we have a filter in the fridge itself, on the door, and since the water's damned cold and I can clean it, I feel reasonably assured that my doom will come from elsewhere.

And I'm also aware that I'm probably wrong about something I don't know.
