So no it didnt cause the plague, why would he need a shovel if he was just gonna leave it there? even if he did, thats line saying "manure, being spread on fields?? im outraged!!"
The plague was caused by bubonic rats and was spread easily because of cramped conditions and unhygienic conditions, so only a very small part of it was poo related. If the guys lived in 1000's london in a 2 bedroomed house with his 34 family members, then yeah lets blame him for the plague.

No, I blame App for the plague. That was my whole point. Congratulations on your superb reading comprehension.

I read your post perfectly, but you obviously didnt read mine, i know you balmed him, and im saying youre wrong, wanna try again?

That's the entire idea behind your typical septic tank, which does a better job of cleansing water than water treatment facities do.

We (as in the company I'm with) did work for a large private school in Wisconsin before that was all about conservation. They had a huge water tank (about 30' high) full of various tropical plants growing hydroponically and whose roots filled the tank, top to bottom. Sewage and waste water from the school was run through the tank and, apparently, the water in the far end tank was potable because by the time waste moved through all the roots systems, it was broken down and absorbed by the plants. It was then forced through some underground pipes to filter back into the water table, but the tour guy would make a big show of taking water directly from the tank and drinking a glass.

Thanks for explaining that, Joph. How about in-water craps, though? No natural filtration for that?

The major concern is that the bacteria from any OFD activities do not enter one's drinking water supply. Hepatitis and dysentery would be the main illnesses caused by a tainted water supply.

And as to in water craps... When I was a kid, my parents took a trip to the far east. They were pretty shocked in Thailand to watch one person leaning over the river bank brushing their teeth 2 feet away from someone defocating in it. Nice mental image, eh?

So why not dig a hole in the open field and make an outhouse? Man, he's lucky he's in Cuba; the weather isn't so forgiving up here in the Chicago area, especially if he's going to whip out Willie and the twins out on the lawn all winter.

Plus, outhouses tend to attract species of spiders not seen outside of old B movies.

The whole OoT forum is fertilized by "OFD" and look how well IT turned out.

I wonder if Flash OFD Mobs will become the new trend.

Not yet he isn't. He's an hour off the coast of Washington state, Orcas Island.

hell of a lot better than crapping in a 55 gal drum and then having to burn that **** later. Caught some of that duty while I was up on the DMZ in Korea. That's the worst.
