1. One Question....
   While you're pooping you felt a Magnitude 7 Earthquake WHAT WOULD U DO?
2. Is it normal to poop in the morning, every morning, because that's the only time I poop and I'm wondering if that's healthy or should I hold it in and poop every other day? To me it seems healthy but if people poop three times a day now that's just crazy, I only do that if I have a bad case of the Hershey squirts.
3. "Elimination process" that's what I call it too.
4. What if I'm bending and leaning on my elbows while pooping

18. I was watching youtube randomly and suddenly I felt the urge to poop. I typed " How to poo" and this came. Still don't know why I am watching this.
19. Judging by his facial expressions I'm guessing they had to do several takes because he probably couldn't stop giggling when saying "anus" and "rectal canal" :-)
