What's the deal with white dog poop?

Introduction

And other thing I wonder about right before I go to sleep. I'll add stuff as it pops into my sick little brain.

 
 

How much can an eagle lift?

 
I've seen them lift a five pound fish. If I made a harness for say 40 eagles, could I get off the ground?
 
 

Why do we have two lungs, but only one heart?

 
We have spares of lots of body parts, but only one heart, one mouth, one ass.
 
 

If we had two asses, what would a toilet look like?

 
Does this really need any explanation.
 
 

What's the deal with white dog poop?

 
I've asked this question to a lot of people; tho date I have not gotten a satisfactory answer. I saw three piles of white dog poop this afternon as I walked my dog. After I was done cussing under my breath about people who don't pick up after their dogs, I started wondering. I have had about a half dozen dogs in my life, and to my knowledge, none of them has ever squeezed off a Zero bar. I'd have noticed. What are those people feeding their poor dogs? Divinity?
 
 

Are our noses shaped the way they are so rain and sweat won't drown us when we walk around?

 
I always thought it would be cool to have a black naugehyde nose like a dog; or a pony nose; they are cool.
 
 

Why is there an "H" inside the "C" in on the Montreal Canadians logo?

 
Must be a French thing.
 
 

Why are there six ducks on a Cadillac logo?

 
Not swans or anything regal, but ducks, or maybe decoys.
 
 

Why are the letters YKK stamped on the pull thingy on my zipper?

 
This one I wondered about for years.

Great questions, keep 'em coming. Maybe you should take naps; more sleeping, thus more wonderings...

Too bad the lung/heart ratio is not reversed....more love, less wind.

A couple of people told me white dog poop was old dog poop, so I looked around this morning. Saw several patches of brown poop that were about to turn to powder, very old, still brown. And now my neighbors think I have some sort of dog poop fetish.

Studying poop is a legitimate science.

YKK is the biggest zipper manufacturer in the USA. Probably in the world. Most well-made garments have a YKK zipper.

On the white dog poop, I have no idea, but I remember when we had a dog growing up, that some of it seemed to turn white and crumble away over time.

According to Wikipedia, the H in the Canadiens logo stands for Hockey: "Club de Hockey Canadien." Prior to that is was several other things, including an A inside the C, standing for "Club Athlétique Canadien," which was replaced by the existing CH in 1917.

According to their website, YKK stands for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha. (That long Japanese name translates roughly into English as "Yoshida Company Limited," after the founder Tadao Yoshida.)

According to cartype.com, the birds in the old Cadillac logo are not ducks, but martlets. Cadillac uses as its emblem the arms of Antoine de La Mothe, seigneur de Cadillac, born in Gascony on March 5, 1656 of minor nobility. He founded Detroit in 1701, and was governor of Louisiana. It is a distinct possibility that this coat of arms was derived and borrowed from a more prominent and wealthy acquaintance of Antoine de La Mothe. (wikipedia: A martlet is a mythical bird often used in heraldry. A martlet looks similar to the swallow, but has short tufts of feathers in the place of legs. Swifts have such small legs that they were believed to have none at all. The inability of the martlet to land is often seen to symbolize the constant quest for knowledge and learning. It has been suggested that this same restlessness is the reason for the use of the martlet in English heraldry as the cadency mark of the fourth son: the first son inherited the estate, the second and third traditionally went into the Church and the Army, and the fourth had no well-defined place. As the fourth son received no part of the family wealth and had to earn his own, the martlet was also a symbol of hard work, perseverance, and a nomadic household. As Cadillac streamlined their cars, the Caddy logo followed suit. It was redesigned in '98-'99 to be more streamlined, dropping the crown and the martlets and refining the wreath to be more angular, much like their cars were to become.

As far as white dogshit, everyone on the web seems to concur that it has something to do with the fillers and preservatives that they put into processed dog food these days. If you feed your dog normal food like meat scraps and bones, it may be more likely to have white shit.

So the real question becomes: Is there a correlation between people feeding their dogs only meat and bones and people not picking up their dog's shit?

true fact:

white dog poo is caused by calcium in the diet. if you see a white dog poo, that dog has probably feasted on a bone recently.

not so true fact:

noses are shaped as they are so that our glasses dont fall off our face.

Thank you all. VI not only makes great lists, but does good research; he got the Cadillac AND the hockey question right.

Gotta go with the Great Scot on the dog poop question. Just as a skeleton is the last part of a body to degrade, the calcium from bones is the lat part of the poop to degrade. It starts brown, but the brown part degrades in three or fopur days, leaving the white calcium poop skeleton.

Sorry, there are no prizes.
