Dorodango is a Japanese art form in which earth and water are molded to create a delicate shiny sphere, resembling a marble or billiard ball. The core of the ball is made of basic mud, and further dusted with finer-grained soil before the water is drawn out through various methods- even sealing the ball inside a plastic bag and letting the water evaporate and then condense. Once the ball is fully tempered and hardened, it is polished by hand and displayed.
@Spartan0057 Handling human feces is actually lot more dangerous for your health then those of other species, for much higher risk of contagion, due to most of the microorganism that will be in them will be adapted to human physiology.
So it quite a good reason to think they wouldn't. =p
@iniudan ecoli, ringworm and a large array of human transferrable illness comes from animal feces. feces is waste and few to almost none of human viruses and diseases transfer through feces.
@TheBigsteve2010 Ringworm is skin parasite fungus, your way more likely to be be infected by simply putting on a shoes from your local bowling then by handling feces.
Ecoli is part of the flora from every mammal (so human also) digestive system and harmful strand of ecoli (most been harmless) from human feces has higher chance of infection, has it will strive better, due to be already adapted to the human physiology.
They have taken the expression way too literally. The idiom refers to the fact that even if you could, wanted to, or did waste your time polishing a turd it would still be a turd and therefore of no more value so why waste your time?.
A turd will always remain a turd, polished or not although some might be conned into buying a shiny piece of shit which leads to another idiom of "A fool and their money is soon parted". I wonder how much it cost Mythbusters to polish their turd ;-)
@sonyfier I'm assuming the cost involved in actually polishing said turd would be however much they paid for the animal dung (likely free from the zoo?), how much they paid for the water (minimal) and how much the refridgeration cost (likely not much). I think they put more effort than cost into this one.
@Greenfire2200 They made a TV episode out of it which couldn't have been cheap. I can just imagine the reaction of some of the people that bankroll the show. :-D
Haha! Them TV fellers is holding a turd! So funny! A real turd that came out of someones butthole! I held a turd a couple of times, but not in a while
all they needed to do was go to africa and look at a hut floor made entirely from cattle dung and polished so well that you can almost see your face in it...and no it doesnt smell...its just grass after all...
Ya its great and all that lion and ostrich poop can get shiny polished... but i can't get either of those so i really want to know can you polish my own (human) poop?
Yep, you can polish a turd and it looks pretty cool. Thank goodness for the art of dirt polishing. Yeah it's still a turd but it actually looks like a great ornament.
These jokes with "polished turd" hardware and games are funny.
@fuzzywzhe ... not to mention the multinats bosses who tell the politicians what to do (you don't think the politicians have any control, do you?) ... and earn more in a day that we do in a 5 years?
@AlmostEthical "you don't think the politicians have any control, do you?"
I think we have precious few politicians.
What you call politicians are nothing by ass kissers, glory hounds, and shameless seekers of moderate fame and money - and they'll stoop to any level to attain it.
Most of what we call politicians are absolutely shamelessly pathetic.
@DaBossk Engh, after the dollar collapses because of gross mismanagement maybe people will actually start checking voting records and do more than listen to commercials to decide who to vote for.
It's not the politicians that are so absolutely pathetic, it's the electorate, and they have exactly the crappy horrific incompetent and corrupt government they deserve.
I don't know what is so special about this, mine come out looking like this to start with. I sell them to high end furniture stores to put in wicker baskets as decorations. You may not have noticed but they generally have price stickers on them so I recommend you buy a few, it would certainly help with my... (wait for it) bottom line!
omg my freinds used the saying "it like polishing a tur it just cant be done" so i looked it up and now IT IS IN HIS FACE dont ask what is in his face
why can't they say turd on television? i can say bitch on tv if i want... and if i talk to the right people on comedy central, i can say fuck on tv between 11pm and 1am...
Lions? Ostriches? Poo that's basically the same consistency as mud? Sorry, got to be dog poo or nothing. That's the point of the saying, right? A big slimy log. Polish THAT bad boy you smug bastards.
@furQ How do you know it's the same consistency as mud? Looks like dried chunks of crap to me. Don't see why it has to be dog poo (what has that got to do with anything?) or why it wouldn't work.
@BlueberryNightmare I don't really mind if it's dog poo or not, but the examples they chose are pretty unrepresentative of the average turd. Which means they probably chose them because they're similar to the dirt which the first guy used. I just want to see them gagging and crying, trying to polish a huge shit. Is that so wrong?
How come I hear shows use pretty much any curse word on cable TV....but Mythbusters refused to say "turd" and used "poo" instead? Seemed really strange, since the myth IS "You can't polish a turd."
