There sure is DNA in fecal matter. It's a very expensive test to run though. I don't know your situation but do you think they'd fork out US$600 to find out?

does it have to remain fresh? do you think?

apologies to the nation of ilx

― smith, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 04:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think so. They test turds from preshistoric dudes all the time.

What did you do - shit someone to death!?

You may have dropped a dingleberry at the crime scene. They can test the hair follicle for a long time to come.

If you're going to shit in a games console, it might as well be an Xbox. You can get a whole week's worth of shit in that thing.

True!

― papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 05:15 (twenty-one years ago)

By contrast, you can barely pack one stool into a GameCube.

We have a slimline ps2. You could probably take a piss in it, but that is all.

― papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 05:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I dunno, with enough cabbage you could probably squirt a day or two in there.

I connect my xbox to my tv with a SCAT cable.

Was it one of those new transparent x-boxes?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 12:22 (twenty-one years ago)

It was.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i was thinking more about that one that's been pooed into.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 13:08 (twenty-one years ago)

What do you think a SCAT cable is?

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 13:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember collecting sheep and deer poo somewhere in the south-west of England in poly bags when I was doing my degree and taking it back to the lab in bristol for analysis. The ferns and grasses said animals had been eaten are preserved enough for them to be identified from samples muched up with a mortar and pestle and examined microscopically, so sure the DNA (of the plants)'ll be in pretty good nick.

most of it's dead bacteria iirc and there's bound to be some cells from the rectal lining too. So, lots of different kinds of DNA in there.

Btw there's a mistake in that piece, the quote about pinpoint accurate DNA results being "at best trivial and at worst astrology" is from British geneticist Adam Rutherford, not James Rutherford (there's no prominent geneticist named James Rutherford). That jumped out because I just finished Adam Rutherford's very good book A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived .
