Trivia question for the day...

[69_knives]

What is in poop that millions of people put on themselves every day??





from Wiki...

Indole is a solid at room temperature. Indole can be produced by bacteria as a degradation product of the amino acid tryptophan. It occurs naturally in human feces and has an intense fecal odor. At very low concentrations, however, it has a flowery smell[1], and is a constituent of many flower scents (such as orange blossoms) and perfumes. It also occurs in coal tar.

James! That means you only have to spread a LITTLE poop on you to smell good!

I believe this is amember of a family of chemicals called Mercaptans which include the compound they add to propane and natural gas so that you can detect leaks, the odor that skunks and other Mustellids have and H2S, or sour gas as it is called in the oil patch.

I always wondered why my poop smelled like flowers.
