@arstechnica Huzzah! We have waited many centuries for this.
@arstechnica ummmm... hasn't this been known for a long time? The urobilinogen formed from the breakdown of bilirubin in the intestines is then metabolized to either urobilin (which gives pee the yellow color) or stercobilin (which stays in the intestines and gives poop much of its brown color). These are things I learned in A&P back in 2012...
