keep in mind if you go with option 2, you get whatever health effects come naturally from eating shit..
 
What is the origin of this word "poop"? It seems to be universal in its use: "shit" without the expletive, with a bit of levity.

[SIZE=+1]According to Eric Partridge in his excellent book of word origins (Origins: A Short Etymological Dictionary of Modern English), "poop" comes from the Middle English word poupen or popen, and it originally meant "fart." The word was based on the sound of a fart. According to Robert Chapman, author of American Slang, "poop" came into use with its current meaning around 1900.[/SIZE]
