Regular readers may remember a piece we wrote a while ago about someone going by the nickname Fecal McStool tearing across the internet, defacing blogs with the single comment:

I like to talk about stool.

At that time, we put a call out for information to help us track him or her down, and the response has been surprising. First of all, the messageboard we set up over on McStool.com has received quite a few comments, some from McStool him/herself, so we definitely managed to attract his or her attention.

But it's the private emails we've been getting that are really interesting. Here's just a sample - of course, most of them come from anonymous Yahoo accounts, so who the hell knows. Some of these could even be from the McStool him/herself:

Fecal McStool's real name is Jennifer Stuveysant, from Toms River, New Jersey. She's a high school student, and I can give you her email address - can we prank her?

McStool attends the University of Montana, and got his nickname one night when we went on a bar crawl. He got so drunk, he literally shat himself in the hallway of the bar, and the Fecal name stuck.

McStool sits in the cubicle next to mine - The guy's a friggin' analytical scientist and he actual conducts stool analysis for a career. Talk about shit on the brain. Don't print this on the site though, as he thinks I'm in on the joke.

My name is Ed Michaels, and I am Fecal McStool. Worship me, stool fools.

To find the Stool, look to the water.

And that's the tip of the iceberg. I'm trying to circle in on McStool and will keep you updated on our progress. In the meantime, keep the tips coming.
