Message-ID: <365@flame.UUCP> Date: Mon, 4-Mar-85 18:15:27 EST Article-I.D.: flame.365 Posted: Mon Mar 4 18:15:27 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 10-Mar-85 07:25:47 EST Organization: VLSI Group, Warwick University, UK Lines: 22 [] You know, I feel really disturbed about posting this, it looks so corny. However, this is a genuine enquiry: I've exhausted all the sources of information I have available, and drawn blanks in each. It all stems from a BBC radio program I heard a few years ago. I'm SURE that I remember hearin a contributor (it was a wild-life program) state that wombat droppings were quadrilateral in cross-section. I dismissed this when I heard it - really, it does seem corny, doesn't it? - but, over the years, a nagging doubt has remained in my mind. Is this true, O ye knowledgeable? And, if so, why? How DO those sphincter muscles work? I REALLY HAVE TRIED TO FIND THIS OUT. Please don't flame me too hard, this is a genuine enquiry. Any help very gratefully received.
