Why Not Collect The Whole Set!
In what is probably one of the more unusual fundraisers I have ever heard of, The International Rhino Foundation is conducting an online auction of eBay to sell an all-natural end product. Yep, they're auctioning rhino poop.
The pieces come from four of the five types of rhino: white, black, Indian and Sumatran. The Javan rhino is so rare, a sample could not be collected.
Each piece is dried, mounted in a clear trophy case and marked with the type of rhino that produced it.
The auction ends Sunday and as of Thursday afternoon bidding had been light, with the top bid for Sumatran rhino poop standing at $500. Black rhino poop was standing at $255, Indian was at $250 and white was at $122.50.
The rhino poop (and that is exactly what they call it in the auctions) can be found here. In case you're planning on surprising the loved one in your life for Christmas.

Gaius, this has been a real interesting week for you. First was the story about all that Bull and now a story that’s, basically, full of s**t!

Poop is a basic ingredient in making food. You start with poop, you compoopsite with a bunch of other organic materials and worms to munch through the whole mess, wait awhile, a couple of months, and then work it into the “soil” (from night soils”) of your garden, aerate it a bit, plant your seeds, and then eat the results. I wonder what they’ll charge for an authentic rhino poop organic carrot ?
