Yes another crappy road side Micro.
For this one think of the location and the title.
Don’t climb or go up to the machinery.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS NEVER ASKED IN POLITE COMPANY.
What is TURD made of?
About 3/4 of your average turd is made of water. Of course, this value is highly variable - the water content of diarrhoea is much higher, and the amount of water in poop that has been retained (voluntarily or otherwise) is lower. Water is absorbed out of faecal material as it passes through the intestine, so the longer a turd resides inside before emerging, the drier it will be.
Of the remaining portion of the turd, about 1/3 is composed of dead bacteria. These micro corpses come from the intestinal garden of microorganisms that assist us in the digestion of our food. Another 1/3 of the turd mass is made of stuff that we find indigestible, like cellulose, for instance. This indigestible material is called "fibre," and is useful in getting the turd to move along through the intestine, perhaps because it provides traction. The remaining portion of the turd is a mixture of fats such as cholesterol, inorganic salts like phosphates, live bacteria, dead cells and mucus from the lining of the intestine, and protein.
Why does a TURD stink?
Poop stinks as a result of the products of bacterial action. Bacteria produce smelly, sulphur-rich organic compounds such as indole, skatole, and mercaptans, and the inorganic gas hydrogen sulphide. These are the same compounds that give farts their odour.
Why is a TURD brown?
The colour comes mainly from bilirubin, a pigment that arises from the breakdown of red blood cells in the liver and bone marrow. The actual metabolic pathway of bilirubin and its by-products in the body is very complicated, so we will simply say that a lot of it ends up in the intestine, where it is further modified by bacterial action. But the colour itself comes from iron. Iron in haemoglobin in red blood cells gives blood its red colour, and iron in the waste product bilirubin gives rise to its brown colour.
