The Human Poop Scale
If you are eating now you might just want to come back later...
From the bowels of the patents database comes patent number 1493222 - the feces scale.
It's the ultimate scale for the most weight obsessed person.
Richard O'Neills patent - signed 29th March 1922 allows waste to be weighed. It is an attachment that fits into the toilet bowl and accurately weighs your outgoings.
After noting the weight, a simple depression allows the waste to be flushed away forever, and you can walk away 8.23 ounces lighter.

OK, what the heck?! Why would anybody want to measure their poop? I mean, I know people are weight-obsessed...but this is just going too far!

ReplyOkay I'm getting worried now! People have too much free time!
ReplyYou had me laughing for awhile on this one! hahahaha.
ReplyOr you COULD just weigh yourself, poop, then weigh yourself again. Seems a lot more hygienic and easy to me.
ReplyI was watching some daytime TV show a couple years ago and they featured a girl with anorexia so severe that she would weigh her poop. All I can think about when I look at the poop scale is that poor girl...
ReplyI'd order the Ferguson Special.
ReplyI do have to admit, I like the idea of pressing a button to deliver my poop into the water. Like a little baby Moses, set adrift.
ReplyHilarious!
ReplyI really think mine weighs way more than that!!
ReplyKayla- check the date -- I think around that time they thought such matters were QUITE important towards health and medical diagnosis. :)

Reply1922...wow that inventory was sure ahead of his time with regards to weight obsessed people of today.
ReplyI am afraid to even ask how the author of this blog knows it's 8.23 oz. lol
ReplyIf bacteria can generate oil from carbohydrates, then why nhot feed them human remains. Let's quit this burying and creamation nonsense and recycle human remains into petroleum products. There should be a vast supply worldwide of this potential resource.
Replyahah its funny. I believe it would be easier to weigh, poop and then weigh. Wonder if it would work?
Reply...Well off to try it XD
