“We gave you no fixed place, no form of your own, nor any assigned task, O Adam, so that by your own choice you might possess the place, the image, and the role you desire; neither heavenly nor earthly, neither mortal nor immortal did we make you, but free to shape yourself in the form you prefer, as your own maker and sculptor.”

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

The caganer

published on 18.04.2017

It is often said that Catalans are eschatological. They have the “caganer”, a figure of the Christmas manger of a man defecating, they also have the “tió” a trunk of tree that shits gifts at Christmas, and in the industrial field they have the company Roca, one of the most important of the world in manufacturing of toilets. We will know the origin of the “caganer”, the physiology of defecation, the Bristol scale to classify the poop, the best position to evacuate in the WC, the hydraulic technology that makes the WC work, a device to treat constipation, and a project to reduce dog droppings on the street. We will be alleviated.
