That is EXACTLY what the turds i nmy garage look like... I never had problems before though.. so i wonder why they choose to visit me now. One of the garage doors doesn't close all the way on one side and leaves about a 1" gap or less..

And it is starting to smell like either poo baking or a dead animal in my garage.. I can't decide which..

If that happened here in the San Francisco bay area, you'd probably have to vacate the premises and halt all activity within a 100-foot radius until the EPA determines which native species' habitat you've trespassed upon. The turds would then be humanely relocated to the wild.

Subsequently, you would be fined $10,000 and directed by the Ninth Circuit Court to relocate your garage (at your expense).

When my family was in Hawaii on vacation, the condos we stayed at had a pond that was loaded with large frogs, probably about a foot long (or more) with legs stretched out. The pond was also full of these 10 foot long strings of eggs that they were laying, so that the male frogs could "spray them". The egg strings looked almost like long strings of pearls.

Apparently the slime from these frogs is a kind of hallucinegen, leading some people to catch the frogs and then lick the slime off them. ("Gol-durn frog-licking hippies!")

But, I never managed to notice how big a turd they took (the frogs that is, not the frog-licking hippies).

This is the first thread that I have actually called my wife in to read - she thinks we have all lost our minds. She thought that all we ever talk about is Corvettes.

I checked with the local racoons tonight. They don't do that kind of fibre as shown in the pic. They do like GM battery black (-) cables. The plastic has a particular crunch that cleans their teeth and allows for a clean ... exit.

Well, you guys have my curiosity up. Tonight, I'm heading out to the back porch, under the porch light, where "the toads dwell".

There are always several toads out there, zapping insects attracted by the light. I just find it hard to believe that a toad, the size of my fist can drop a load like the one described.

I'll report back.

I won't be telling my wife what I'm doing out there either. Chuck

So if you put about 115,824,000 grams of this poo on a dyno and lit it on fire, you would have about 300 hp. Now about the torque curve......

How many turds? You need something in the pic for size comparison too.
My guess would be a snake of some sort. Probably a small harmless rat snake or garter snake.

From the looks of the thing, I am certain of its fuel value. It looks just like those cheap charcoal brickets. No doubt you can cook with it. This particular one is a small block though, measuring only 1/4 by 3/4 inches.

Donny,
My usual EBay question. Will you ship to Canada?
