A certain aardvark could literally be sitting on a goldmine.

Hmm, removing poop w/ poop O_o-
Yep, fighting fire with fire.
-
unbelievable -
How big is a wombat poo though? and does one slice it like a loaf of bread to get the desired thickness.
To be honest I think Gillette should bring out a range of toilet paper: One ply to cut the poo, second ply to remove the poo, third ply to ensure the closest wipe you've ever had and a prescision ply on the opposite side to get into those tougher areas -
They boil up the droppings and extract the fibre to make the toilet paper. Apparently the smell of a cauldron of boiling wombat droppings is, well, utterly disgusting.

who in the hell came up with that idea?
-

well...you learn something you didn't want to learn everyday...

Indeed. Actually the toilet paper bit is rather bye the bye with polybore. The cube shaped droppings however, that really is something! Shame they are not toilet roll shaped but you can't have everything.
Polybore thinks they are missing a trick, they should be selling dice made from these cube shaped wombat droppings. Would bring a whole new meaning to "crap shooting", "crapgame", "craps" or "crapshoot". -
Ahahahahahah
crapshooting
Hahahahahahahah

now we know where oxo cubes come from

I'm gutted as I shit rhomboids due to a long standing anal deformity.-
Wow you could get on "Britains got Talent" with that act.
-
-
..... come again?
-
wrong bodily excretion...
-
YOU -------------- > naughty corner!
-
I have a severe anal deformity that makes my excretions rhomboidal, I would prefer not to discuss it on a public forum but as your American "reserve" has forced me into some sort of revelation I will concede it is not the greatest of burdens

It's the mushy peas, isn't it?
It's OK Siuil, your time out's over -
CAN YOU ALL STOP TALKING ABOUT PEAS!!
-
Are you gonna throw up? They can't be nearly as bad as cube shaped poopy toilet paper
-
I seriously feel a bit ill with all the mentions of peas...*shudder* *gag*

Work Camp for the lot of you
-
That's it! I'm putting YOU in a work camp! Now till my garden! Plant those vegetables! Mow the grass and... I want a ...shrubbery!
-
seems like that "shrubbery" was discussed in that other thread
-
No, no. Shrubberies are not Bushes.
Now get me a shrubbery, or I shall say NI!
-
-
Jeebus Sil my pea based anal drippings shouldn't concern you so much.
-
depends what job one has at the Work Camp
Seems like my past work experience is stacked against me in that regard
-
-
So, did anyone else notice that the picture they have with the article is of a wombat...pooping?
And...did no one pick up on the fact that the wombat who produces all of the poop for the eco-paper's name is NUGGET?
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHhHahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa-
"gold mine" now i get it
-
A nugget is also that little piece of poop in the toilet that simply refuses to be flushed down
-
*sigh* BC has hit a new low...
-
@Anok--you mean the bane of my working existence
in the trade (shakes head at self) we call that a "floater" -
That is disgusting and I have reported it To Time Thief because I believe the children are the future,
-
I didn't name him nugget! Don't you blame this topic on me, no sir, I didn't do it!
Damn you Anin, that stupid song is in my head again! Grrr *shakes fists at the aardvark with the pre dinner juice stain* -
And look at the Wombats face! That expression is not due to it straining to defecate a cube, it is executive stress! The poor little fella has production targets to meet.
Out of shot are a croud of Aussies, with dollar signs in their eyes, urging the wombat on. "Come on Nugget squeeze out a big one, the Economy of Australia depends on it"
-
The poor thing.
It's always the little guys that get crapped on... -
when PETA finds out, the sh!t will hit the...
-
-
I would buy TP with Anin's picture on it! I'll think of him everytime I wipe! And he can laugh all the way to the bank...-
Oh my giddy Aunt. Careful what you wish for.
-
C'est charmant!
-
-
This is how we know the world is wrong when we are talking about how stressed a wombat is in meeting his shitting targets,
-
And it is not as if the Wombat can even take industrial action. If it goes on defecation strike, well, when that cube finally does come out it will be so huge...
-
-
I wonder what kind of person came up with this idea? Who would think of such an idea? Even worse...who would PAY for poop to wipe their butt with?
-
seems a little redundant, huh
