Q. Why is poop brown?
A. [framed from www.smellypoop.com] Poop is mostly shades of brown or yellow, but other colors can arise under certain circumstances. For example, someone with a bleeding ulcer might have tarry black poop from the presence of partially digested blood. Bleeding in the intestine, from an anal fissure or split, for example, can stain the poop red. Some illnesses in babies gives them green or even blue-green poop.
Q. But I didn't really want to know about crap, Jeeves. What I want is amusement and enlightenment; I want hope and solace; I want to be promised my heart's desire.

A. Ask: "Where can I compare prices for 'riches'"?
Q. Well, okay then.
