Number Crunch

Bat guano offers some surprising nutritional benefits compared with a Big Mac. Or at least, that's one possible reading of a study of the dietary habits of cave salamanders, which like to feast on the former.
54% of guano is protein.
23% of a Big Mac is protein.
1% of guano is fat.
33% of a Big Mac is fat.

So now, when someone tells you to 'go eat s**t' you can reply with some dignity and pride "and you go eat a Big Mac."
