Hearing Night Moves -- Bob Seeger
Yes, you remember the Sheep Poo paper: paper made from the poo of -- yes, can you guess? Can you? -- sheep. But say you have a big project. A really big project. A project of elephantine proportions. What sort of paper should you use?
Elephant Poop Paper, of course!
Yes, it really exists, and yes, you can get a lot of paper out of elephant poop: apparently 25 standard-sized pages out of a single elephant dropping. Which may tell you something about the size of an elephant dropping.
You know what I want to do: I want to get some of this paper, write a really, really bad story on it, and sent it to magazine as a submission. That way, when the editor reads it and says "What a piece of #@%& !!" he'd be precisely right. That might take too much effort, though. I'll just sit here and think about it instead.
What will be the next land herbivore to have paper made from its bodily waste? Place your bets now!

Additionally, elephants are really bad digesters. I recall that stuff comes out looking almost like it did going in. That's 25 sheets per poo-piece and lots of poo pieces a day!

Having shoveled some of the afore mentioned Elephant Poop... I will have to agree that it is probably large enough to make 25 sheets of paper <ROFL>
