Journal FortKnox's Journal: You can't make this sh*t up! [UPDATED] 11

Journal by FortKnox on Thursday July 15, 2004 @02:10PM

Only in West Virginia (reminds me of the 'Appalachian Emergency Room' skit that SNL does).

FYI - KshGoddess... I'm browsing with Mozilla LIGHTNING PANDA today (my fav so far... its like an x-men character or something... cuddly... yet ELECTROCUTING!) ;-)

Update: You naysayers are just jealous (I hate not being able to comment, damnit). ;-)

This was more than disproved by "Mythbusters" on the Discovery channel.

  No, it in fact appears to be human sh*t. And what's with all the asterisks? I'm going over to the big kid table now.

  If it is true, he'd have to have farted his body weight out just to fill it high enough to ignite the toilet.
  
  Funny though. Sounds to me like a myth.

    I assumed that the methane buildup was due to decomposing waste products left by previous users.

      if that's true, it would have to be a near seamless and quite well constructed (air tight in other words) shitter. That's insane.
      
      I say this is crazy. But if it's true, then hey, I'll of been proved wrong. :)

  This story dealt with a porta-potty. MythBusters concerned themselves with normal household toilets that didnt have human waste piling up in the bowl for several days.

    yes, but they then enclosed the toilet in an airtight sealed plexiglss container (granted, it was prolly about 3X the volume of porta-john). But it took them FLOODING the thing with propane from aa torch kit to get it to go off.
    
    Don't forget, port-johns have vents to prohibit the gasses from building up to dangerous levels.

  After thousands of butts have been smoked in porta-johns, this is the first time one explodes?
  
  I gotta side with you Ab. What would be good would be to email the story/link to the producers. Every so often, they do follow ups, wherein viewers point out flaws in the original experiments. This sounds 'ripe' for a redo.

The methane did not "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical Services.

ROTFL! Euphemism at it's very best :)
