The bacteria at the ass-end of the GI tract is mostly the same stuff as the beginning. Saliva and stomach acid also do a pretty good job of killing organisms.
Doesn't fecal matter often contain E. Coli? I believe it's that because these common pets (cats and dogs) are carnivorous and that their saliva and stomach fluids tend to be much more acidic than ours.

- parenthetical note, I never knew until I read it the other day that the skin of reptiles is often a breeding ground for salmonella

As for frivolous questions..... ...I've always wondered what the point of those skill testing questions on lottery/contests is. Do people actually get them wrong??? And if so, does that serve as a legitimate basis to deny these people their prize????????????

And finally (because I've always been too lazy to research this, and am now really tired) why is the sky blue????
