On second thought ...

... this is today's must read: On The Manifestation of Excrement. (Hat tip, Maxine Clarke.)

Read the whole thing, including the comments.

    Thanks for the link, Maxine; Frank's right, it is essential reading (including comments) and, since I don't want to post on other blogs et so forthia, I shall take the liberty of adding to the list with which the thoughtful and restrained Henry Gee opens his piece (concerning the postcard he was sent defining shit and various religions):

    Taoism – Shit Happens;
    Buddhism – Shit Happens, but it Isn’t Really Shit;
    Hinduism – This Shit has Happened Before;
    Islam; If Shit Happens, it is the Will of Allah;
    Catholicism; If Shit Happens, it is Because You Deserve It;
    Protestantism: May Shit Happen to Someone Else;
    Judaism; Why Does Shit Always Happen To Us

    Atheism; The Shit Delusion
