You mean my kids can play with any ole' crap outside and it won't harm their health? Who knew.

Yeah, it made me wonder if the researcher was tainting his conclusions with a disdain for religious practices. Can't be sure in this case, but it sure is a familiar pattern.

From Deutoronomy 23

Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement.

"Demonstrates the importance of knowing where the men's room is."
