So theoretically, you could send jackass letters written on real jackass poo paper?

I don't think that poo paper will ever really take off. Or at least it will always be number two to me.

Nope, not going to click that link. I've been around the internet long enough to know not to click links titled A new use for Poo

I assumed this would be used for poo, but I see I made an ass out of me and...well only me. Still. They should make wombat poo into poo paper. The Circle of Life and all that.

From now on it'll be referred to as "threadpapering".

dunkadunc and dunganddunger! There's got to be a sockpuppet joke or something there. And dunkandunc, I'd be careful checking my main if I were you!
And I totally forgot the previously link, so I'll gratuitously link to my all time favorite metafilter comment.
And google claims they are doing this with kangaroo paper, but I could only find one place that sold "Roo Poo Paper," but they didn't seem to have a way to link directly to a singular product.
I also forgot my PepsiPoo tag.

Do they sterilize it first or something? If not, all that poo paper seems like a great way to kickstart some kind of crazy elephant tapeworm epidemic.

Is wombat poo really more plentiful than other sources of paper (say, trees)?

The cool thing about this product is that they could make paper bags out of it - paper bags which one could light afire and place upon the porch of a neighbor, then ring the bell and run away to hide behind a hedge, giggling as the neighbor stomps it out.

Ah, metafilter. The last place left on the entire internets where I can follow a link entitled "a new use for poo" and not have it lead to terrifying things involving cups, girls, &c. Bless your little cotton socks.

And here I thought wombat poo was only good for fashioning catchy yet mildly annoying pop songs about proto-goth bands.

Last time I was in Thailand, I visited an elephant camp. They were selling paper they'd made from elephant poo. I didn't buy any, but it was pretty interesting to see how they processed the poo into paper.
Elephants eat tons of cellulose-rich biomass, processing out the nutrients and passing the fiber through and eliminating it as poo. They go through so much biomass in a day, each elephant is a veritable poo paper factory.

One of the articles I linked to said there would be imperfections in the paper. I would figure there would have to be, since perfect paper seems to be made with a slurry of a single fiber. A lot of the arty type paper I buy has inclusions. This paper isn;t what you would use to do your quarterly reports on.

No, it's more of a daily report sort of paper.

I thought this was going to be a post about jewelry (warning: NSFW, or kids, even though it's animated and catchy).
And why poop smells, if you were wondering (plus many thing you probably weren't pondering).
