I'm watching episode 314 of South Park as I write this and the story line of this 2007 episode is strikingly familiar to a real life occurrence to which I was tangentially connected in college. The episode, "More Crap", is about Randy Marsh taking a world record sized dump only to have it (the record, not the actual crap) taken away by Bono, the previous record holder, in a video message during Marsh's award ceremony.
How exactly this could mirror real life is probably a bit of a riddle for those who didn't attend college with me, but those who did attend my alma mater around the same time as me will not have forgotten this story.
One day, one of the students living in my dorm found an unflushed toilet in the library with a turd the size of a football. Unwilling to leave this beauty to the destructive practices of the library janitors, the student rescued the fecal mass (I'm not sure exactly how and not sure I want to know) and stored it in a jar in a fridge in my dorm building where he'd put it on display to interested students until the health department found out about it and made him dispose of his lovely. I think the thing was on display for almost a week and even spent a stint out on the sidewalk for a public viewing.
The weird thing is that in the early minutes of the episode they refer to the poop as football sized, a term that was thrown around a lot about the magical turd of Dana Hall. The coincidence really makes me wonder if one of my fellow Vikings ended up connected to the South Park crew somehow.
Oh, and Courtney (the short one, not my sister, who is reading now), don't click that link above. The episode is basically an elaborate way to call Bono a piece of crap.
Of course anyone who calls himself Bono Vox and can sing "Uno, dos, tres, catorce" with a straight face...

And to think at one point I wanted to be like you and go to Berry... I think after this story I'm even more pleased that I went to Mercer!
On another note. I had a patient once that had a spinal cord injury that also resulted in poo issues. I saw his poo after he had to digitally stimulate himself to go and I think that size wise it had to beat the famous Berry poo. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen!
cj, I would prefer not to think about digital stimulation. Thanks.
You forgot to mention the part where the health department had to come in wearing hazmat suits and said student and his roommate had to get shots.
I love that story.
I never actually saw the legendary poo, and I'm glad. I think that's what keeps it legendary for me. If I had seen it, it would just be disgusting.
