| abstract | - Cave paintings dating back to the early 1940s indicate that it has been in use for centuries. Darwin theorized that the use of a pooperang was what separated man from the lower, higher, and middling animals. Forming the pooperang, along with the development of written language and indoor swimming pools, is cited as a watershed moment in the evolution of human civilization. Most cultures on earth have their own interpretation of this fertile, versatile, and often potent weapon. In medieval Germany it was called "der Flingenkrappen". In ancient Polynesia, it was often called "Bagogadonk". The Aztecs called theirs "Shlitcacapoopezca". The English were the last to discover the weapon upon their colonization of Austrailia (being too squeamish at the thought of handling their own shit). The aborigines, having already used their "Shitorang" for thousands of years, lent the idea to the English out of politeness. The English, though apprehensive, accepted the gift. One sailor was heard to have said "Blimey, why didn' we think 'o' this before? Cheerio!" and thanked the Aborigines promptly by subjecting them to more than a hundred years of oppressive colonial rule and ethnic cleansing.
