kings of coprophagy

This morning I learned that hamsters eat their poop. Apparently, its okay because hamsters have two different kinds of poop...one that is edible and one that isn't, I guess. I wonder if hamsters even know the difference between the two types of crap, or if they just say to themselves, "forget it...I'll just eat both piles and let my body sort it out."

In a completely unrelated story...

When I was six, I opened my sock drawer one morning and discovered that at some point during the night, my cat had given birth to a litter of ugly-ass kittens. For some reason, I did not find it strange that there were newborn animals living among my socks. However, I recall being very disturbed by the tubes that were attached to each kitten's underbelly. Thinking that these tubes were flesh-eating worms, I began to tug at them, attempting to free the kittens from certain death. Unfortunately, I was unable to remove any of the worms, so I gave up and went back to playing mario twins.
