Today as I was walking to get a sandwich, I saw a big poster that said "Poop Culture", and seeing as I like poop as much as the next girl, I couldn't help but be intrigued. "Poop Culture's main focus is the true origin of the flush toilet: invented not for sanitary reasons, as conventional wisdom holds, but rather as a tool to help rich Victorians separate themselves from the upwardly-mobile masses during the Industrial Revolution. From that basis, Poop Culture explores how the ideology of waste disposal affects us today in our psychology, sociology, art, economics, the environment, and more." Tonight the author, Dave Praeger, reads and lectures on the book as well as a variety of other poop related matters.
