Grizzly bear scat (feces) is surprisingly tasty and nutrious due to the bear's inefficient digestive system and its diet of berries. Native Americans and early European settlers in North America used to collect and dry the scat for use as an emergency foodstuff during long winters. An extreme sports company in British Columbia is now test-marketing a new energy bar called a "Scat Patty". Their motto: When that hike is a real "bear" and you really need to "scat".

The most expensive cheese in the world is made from the milk of the Screaming Hairy Armadillo, Chaetophractus vellerosus. It costs $200 an ounce and is vaguely pink in color. People who have tried it say it tastes like grasses in the sun, with a mildly tangy aftertaste. The aftertaste is attributed to the armadillo's diet of ants.

As a young priest in Poland, Pope John Paul II had a rather earthy sense of humor. He used to take great delight in farting during Confessions. As he moved up in the ranks of the church he toned down this tendency, but his first words after being selected Pope were "I thank God for this honor and will humbly do his work. Pull my finger."

Americans react differently to different regional accents. One recent study showed that people consider a Southern accent a mark of lesser intelligence, despite the fact that more PhDs live in the South than anywhere else in the country. The same study also showed that a working class Boston accent excited a surprisingly visceral negative reaction. More than one respondant to the study said that they would like to punch the Boston speaker's "smug face".
