Marine Biologists Filmed Cepapod Going to the Bathroom

Posted by Alex in Animal, Science & Tech on August 11, 2008 at 2:00 am


Darned scientists and the things they do in the name of science! Can’t they leave a poor copepod doin’ its bidnis alone?

The marine biologists on the Galathea expedition intruded on the privacy of this copepod – all in the name of science, mind you – as it … went poo! Link [embedded YouTube clip]

    "...and in other news today, the CDC reported that it is shutting its doors permanently within the month. Scientists have discovered that the Ultimate Cure For All Diseases has been found in a combination of shrimp fecal matter and whale flatulence. When interviewers called earlier today, the scientists were amiable but admitted they were simply too busy lighting their own farts to talk to reporters.

    As well as claiming both the Nobel and IgNobel Prizes, a statue of a giant bowl of warm water and a pile of dirty napkins has been erected in Downtown in their honor..."

    The stupidity of some things on this site never fails to amaze me. How immature/juvenile and twisted/sick are the owners of this site?

    "... going to the bathroom ..."?
    First, there is no "bathroom" in the sea.
    Second, even if there were a bathroom in the sea, talking about, and even showing, the elimination of waste at a general, public site is TABOO for mature people with "class." It is subject only for specialized sites frequented by biologists.

    Straighten up your act, Neatorama people. GROW UP!!!

    @ AnUnSi:

    Why do you come here if you're so easily offended? I'd hate to think of how you deal with your cat's litterbox... or your child's diapers. Everybody poops, you know (yes, even sea creatures).

    Of course, the great and powerful AnUnSi never has to go to the bathroom. The waste just magically appears in the toilet bowl. "Immaculate bowel movements", if you will.
