Q. What amount, in cubic feet, would there be in Port Huron for one year, of fecal and urinal discharge into the sewers?
Urinal and fecal wastes were placed in runoff boxes at the base, midpoint and top of 20cm snow packs. The units were subjected to carefully controlled temperature fluctuations ranging from 8 to 12 degrees C. Urinal losses were determined primarily by the quantity of water which passed through the manure layer. Fecal nitrogen losses were much lower than urinal losses.

asshole
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: Variant of earlier arsehole, from Middle English arshole, arcehoole, equivalent to ass + hole. Cognate with Norwegian rasshøl (“asshole”), Swedish arsle (“asshole”). Compare also German Arschloch (“asshole”). Attested from the 1370s, replacing earlier Old English earsþyrel (“anus”, literally “ass hole”).
First recorded in Middle English, as ers hole (Glouc. Cath. Manuscript 19. No. I., dated 1379, cited after OED), ars-hole (Bodleian Ashmole MS. 1396, dated ca. 1400, ed. Robert Von Fleischhacker as Lanfrank's "Science of Cirurgie", EETS 102, 1894, cited after OED.) Slang figurative usage dates to the 20th century; it was used of an uninviting place (compare shithole) in the 1920s, and then of an anti-social or despicable person from at least the 1950s (Harvard Advocate 137, March 1954). It is also used appositionally (as in "You're an asshole moralist", T. Chamales, 1957).
