| shiet

Remember how I've always mentioned that wikipedia is a great tool for learning (despite the truth that their facts are often times questionable) not to mention, a good source of plain-ol-fun. Just saw this little article on cracked.com and in it a link to this little wiki... about stools or fondly known as *shiet.

Bristol Stool Chart

Bristol Stool Chart or The Bristol Shiet Scale is a medical aid designed to classify the form of human feces into seven categories. Sometimes referred to in the UK as the "Meyers Scale," it was developed by Heaton and Lewis at the University of Bristol and was first published in the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology in 1997. The form of the shiet depends on the time it spends in the colon.

The seven types of stool are:

        * Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass)
        * Type 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy
        * Type 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface
        * Type 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft
        * Type 5: Soft blobs with clear cut edges (passed easily)
        * Type 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool
        * Type 7: Entirely liquid

Types 1 and 2 indicate constipation, with 3 and 4 being the "ideal shiet" especially the latter, as they are the easiest to pass, and 5–7 being further tending towards diarrhea or urgency.

I lol'ed when I read the wiki. Come to think of it, this is a rather good post too since I talked about food in the previous post. It also reminds me of the last time I talked about shiets; it was during my previous attachment to Infineon, July 5th, 2006. heh~




*this blog is firmly against using vulgar languages like shit and has therefore changed the words shit to shiet

p.s. i made a compacted type 4 yesterday
