I'm dying laughing. Imagine Lewis and Clark, thinking they're forging this epic, heroic legacy for the ages... and their most permanent, scientifically-proven trail is literally toxic poop. History has a WILD sense of humor.

I do wonder if they went in there thinking they're "forging this epic, heroic legacy for the ages", or if that was hindsight / US historians drumming up the story for the history books.

If they shat themselves to death halfway, would they have been remembered as much?
