“…may be the largest example of fossilised human feces ever found, measuring 20cm (8 in) long and 5cm (2 in) wide! Analysis of the stool has indicated that its producer subsisted largely on meat and bread. It dates back to approximately the 9th century and the person responsible is believed to be a Viking.”

It’s pretty big…I guess.

Imagine the satisfaction after holding it in the entire ship voyage over to the americas, surviving just on meat and stale bread (the constipation must have been horrible)

Finding a tree, and literally dropping the biggest shit in human history

for some weirdos to dig it up 1200 years later and put it in a museum

Damn imagine if your shit ended up in a museum. But you didn't.

York isn’t in the Americas. It’s also a former Viking settlement, Jorvik. A millenium later and I’m in the same place, following the same diet of meat and bread.

oh yeah I misread York as New York. which would have made sense since vikings are known to have been present in newfoundland area (i think)

also, fix your diet

the presence of several hundred parasitic eggs suggests they [the pooper] were riddled with intestinal worms.
