Why do wombats poop cubes? Scientists may finally have the answer (msn.com) it's not quite "shitting bricks" but wombats come pretty close. And it didn't take a 17 gazillion dollar federal grant to finance the study AFAIK.
I might be alone here, but I never knew that wombats made square poops in the first place. So why was this information being withheld from the general public? Do I smell a conspiracy? Oh wait no, that's just wombat poop - never mind!
