While we were talking here in TheBAYNET.com news bullpen – by the way, it was a very slow news day – anyway, our photographer stumbled in and plunked himself down on the first open chair and began lamenting that all the white dog poop is gone.
What did you say?
The rest of us just sort of stared at him for a brief second. Then, as news hounds will do, we started “googling” and “yahooing” and researching and found hundreds of thousands of entries on white dog poop.
Apparently it has been the subject of much debate – articles and blogs by vets and dog lovers and a celebrity or two all asking, “Whatever happened to white dog poop?”
Okay, all the stuff up until now in this little story is true, but I’m old, like most of you readers think I’m ancient, but so what, I tried to figure out why there was so much effort by so many into finding out the answer to disappearing white dog poop.
I do have my theories – like, now that people have to follow around their dogs with little pooper scoopers and baggies, there isn’t any dog poop left to turn white. Oh yeah, the research indicated that a dog’s poop turned white because dogs ate bones and the calcium remained after mother nature had done her thing to the poop and it dried out.
So, there remains an underlying boggle – is all that scooped up poop turning white in a landfill somewhere? You suppose these same thousands of people blogging their little hearts out about white dog poop would take the additional effort to check that out?
Then I began to think about what other mysteries there are out there that we can explore with which, we the highly sophisticated Net readers and writers can solve and, while we’re at it have a little fun, too?
What mystery can we solve next?
Does a tree falling in the woods make noise? Beat’s me, if it lands on my head, do I really care if it made noise or not?
If a dog’s poop turns white, what color does an elephant’s poop turn? – Green?
