Let's talk about poop
If you are squeamish or get the willies when discussing things like poop, go read a different post.
This morning, as I turned to flush the toilet, that my poop was electric green. Whoa! Being something of a hypochondriac, I figured I had some kind of weird disease.
So I Googled bright green poop. I found this site, where a guy documents his discovery that drinking or eating anything of a blue color will result in bright green poop. This article is a must read. Very funny.
And yes, I am relieved that the 32 oz blue margarita I had last night is the cause of my odd poop, not some mysterious disease.
I perused the Poop Report further, and found this report - since I fly a lot, I appreciate knowing that Seat 29E on Continental Airlines is one to be avoided at all costs.
Just thought you would like to know - maybe I can relieve some future green pooper.

Blue drinks also make you vomit green, oddly..

Prolly cause stomach is a yellowish cast.
Beth - For travel info on planes by airline, check out SeatGuru. You can find out where your seat is located, what (if any) power is available, etc. It is very cool!

Clearly you never had a big heaping sugar cone of Blue Moon Ice Cream before (home of my childhood memories in Saugatuck, MI) where in you'll poop green for a week!! LOL

Yogurt will do it too- happens every time Kevin eats a lot of yogurt. Freaky, but true...

And if you drink a lot of Welch's grape juice, your poop will be bluish... This from my husband, who loves the stuff. ;)

Surprisingly enough, it's a good thing you do check the hue of the poo. Lots of stuff can be discerned. Knew a girl once who had stomach and trouble with the heat in central California(dehydration maybe). Asked her what color her urine was and she looked at me like I was from Mars.
Emberassing to admit in public, but good idea to do anyways.

You're killing me with the toilet blogging ;-)
I suggest that you try eating yourself a big giant heaping helping of collards or spinach and take a look in the old crapper the next day.
scary stuff...
Jeff Foxworthy does one of his "you might be a redneck" jokes as follows:
You might be a Redneck if you've ever heard your mother holler "Hey y'all, come look at this thing before I flush it" from your trailer bathroom....

For a real delight have a licorice ice cream cone. In the first place it's delicious, and makes your lips and tongue dark green, then the real fun, two days of Kelly Green poop.

I used to take an obscure pill for my backaches which died my pee blood red. I've been trying to track them down for the next time I have to take a drug test.
