I'm sure that title will get your attention. Another legend passed away yesterday - Sir Bob Hope (he received honorary knighthood in England in 1998), at the age of 100 years. Sad.

Further to the previous entry, my guts are still a bit blah and not long ago I had a big dump - it was dark green and stinky! This concerned me somewhat because, as everyone knows, my shit don't stink. Usually.

So I looked it up on the internet (stop laughing :P). I found this rather amusing thread on the moonlighthealth.com site. It would seem that a great many people have green poohs. Some of the entries were damn funny:

• I have green poopies everyday I eat a lot of ceral and I am jewish
• I was stoned and ate an entire package of twizzlers. Next day poop was green. It looked pretty cool but they were cherry twizzlers so green poo-poo was a bit unexpected.
• I took a shit earlier and I thought I was in serious trouble, The first green monster I have ever seen in my life.
• You know...I ate a blue slushy yesterday....now Im poopin green.
• Up until now I thought it was just a sign of my Irish heritage...
• I was very proud of my green turd, but now I see that I'm not special, damn it!

The list goes on, but you get the idea. Amongst all that there is actually a reply from a medical professional. Basically "..green stool simply means that the mixture of food and digestive juices is passing through the large intestine faster than normal (a "decreased colonic transit time")." ..Well, that's comforting to know.

Sorry, I didn't take a picture.
