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]
Alex said "bidnis". I'm cracking up. XD
I can always count on learning something new on this site! :D
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..."

"... 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!!!
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.
