Turns out you mix it with water then use it to clean stuff.

5 ways to use dish soap to clean your home

Handy hint: You can use it to clean MTB brakes by mixing it with hot water and then applying it with a brush or rag.

Not directly, but they do describe it as, "the multitasking secret weapon of cleaning pros — and you can put it to use in almost every room." Holy shit, detergent as a secret weapon for cleaning stuff, why didn't anyone tell me before?

Well a woman claiming that she tried to bring giraffe turds into the US to make a necklace might not be news of global importance but I would probably be interested in reading the whole article.

Does giraffe shite have special properties not shared with other herbivore shite?

Edit: And why is there a mysterious pointy snail shell among the giraffe turds?

Does it need to be made out of shit?

If so I reckon I fancy my chances with rabbit shit.

I think it might be something to do with the height from which it was dropped. Other herbivore shit would be more valuable if they could train them to climb step ladders.

Mythbusters had a look at whether you could in fact "polish a turd" in one episode. I think they decided that lion shit was best, and I think it may have been Jamie that revealed that yes, you could polish a turd. I reckon that's what that woman was going to do, polish the shit out of that, eerrr, shit, and make a necklace out of it.

I once gave a friend "lucky" ceramic sheep droppings modelled on the real thing found on the North York moors.

I'd spotted them for sale in the back of Viz, I think. I was doing a PhD in goats and my friend (the lab tech)  was a sheep farmer's daughter.

She then turned them into earrings  🙂
