Tumblr thread, one user says that archeologists identify human remains by taste. A second user points out that this is not true, bone is identified as not a normal rock by touching it to your tongue and seeing if it sticks. If it does then bone.
Third user shares a poem they wrote: mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone
4th user is an archeologist and is crying laughing with a bunch of other archeologists and they’re going to have shirts made with the poem.

I remember as a child when I was digging in the sandbox I dug up a hole lot of cat poop and “wet” sand. Since I’m still alive today it probably wasn’t too bad but it doesn’t really feel like a good idea.
