SHAT and FART

Some stories lend themselves to a smile, like it or not. In November the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health's Christmas edition reported that child health experts in Australia and the UK created two experiments.

Someone Soiled The Air ......

These were given the acronyms 'SHAT' and 'FART' .....

Which stood for ....
  1. Stool Hardness and Transit Score (SHAT), and
  2. Found and Retrieval Time (FART)
They then ate Lego heads to see the impact on the gut, and how long it took to retrieve the Lego heads ..... and found that Everything Is Awesome.

Everything Is Awesome For Some After 1.7 Days

The reason for this experiment was to confirm that children eating Lego heads is a problem that works itself out naturally in about 1.7 days, with no ill effects. 

Lego Head Lament ....

The only casualty was one poor researcher who didn't find his Lego head and then had to go poking through his poo for 2 weeks ... but it never turned up, presumed missing in action.
