Pooped out?: A new Chinese business venture hopes to convert Panda poop into attractive souvenirs that Summer Olympic visitors will buy next year.One of my favorite volunteers here at the museum does a lot of activities with artificial scat: that’s science lingo for animal poop.
I guess I’ve been hanging out with him too much, cause this story just jumped off the screen screaming for my attention.
A new company in Sichuan, China, is making odor-free souvenirs for next year’s Summer Olympic games out of Panda poop. You’ll have your choice of everything from dung-y bookmarks to miniature statues of the animals that produced the medium.
"We used to spend at least $770 a month to get rid of the droppings but now they can be lucrative," Jing Shimin, assistant to the base director, was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua News Agency. About 40 pandas are housed at the site and put out nearly a ton of panda poop a year.
A lot of production work goes into the process. All dung is smashed, dried and sterilized at 572 degrees F. The finished products are dyed giving them a variety of colors. The Olympic figurines will show the Pandas posed in a number of athletic positions.
See, this is why China is going to overtake America. Because they think of stuff like this.
Now, I don't want to imply that I've never tried to sell stuff made out of poop, it's just that China has finally figured out a way to make it work!
The Chineese have finally figured out a way to sell stuf people usually wouldnt use...good for them, as for the poop its kinda weird but i guess if it is safe use it. It can help the enviroment and make them more money, go for it!!!!!!
I thoght jaapan was bad taking over the electronics...but this is just sad
this a pretty cool way to re-use stuff,but it's also natural,very natural.
i think that other contries should try to do things like this too.
WHO IN THERE RIGHT MINDS WOULD WANT TO BUY PANDA POOP?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!?
I would! my biggest dream in life is to see a panda before they go extinct( hopefully they never will) .. hopefully by the time i graduate (in 2013) i will have enough money to go to china and see an actual panda in the wild!
This is not a new invention, In Canada you can buy cow dung clocks. Its a large cow pie that has been sanitized, varnished to keep it from rotting and a clock is put in it.
A cow poop clock is not something a very normal person would get into. No matter what you think it is not sanitary.
maybe you should seek counciling.
Having a turd fetish is far from the norm
Why would you buy it . do you think its soap. or maybe you just like how it smells.
Thor: ever hear of zoo-doo? You can get it at the Mn Zoo!
