Oh, Crap.













Just doing a little studying of the anatomy of our body, and just marvelling at how amazing a body we have.

Our body deals with 9 litres of fluids in a day, of which only 2 litres are from our daily intake.

That means you have seven litres of fluid being produced from everywhere else inside you, from your saliva down to your intestines.

Which makes me surprised how quiet we actually are for fluid producing beings. Imagine if you could hear every slosh of your tummy as it secreted acid juices or your liver churning as you produced bile, or maybe a whirring noise as your small intestines digested and absorbed your food.

Instead, we only hear the growling of the tummy once in a while and let out the occasional fart or burp for all that goes on inside of us.

Isn't creation Intelligent?

P.S. Just found out that it takes food four hours to go into our big intestines, and only 70% will be passed out within three days. It takes it a week to pass out 100% of all that you've eaten.

So just think about what you had for dinner last week as you meditate on your Toilet Throne, because it might finally be coming out completely now.
