There are entire career paths that are even weirder. Paleoscatologist Paleoscatologists study ancient fecal matter, like fossilized mounds of dinosaur poop Fossilized fecal matter is called “coprolite,” Greek for the words “dung” (“copro-”) and “stone” (“lithos”) Paleoscatology is a small field, and there aren’t many specialists Coprolite is not as common as it could be, because feces usually decompose or are eaten by insects like cockroaches before they have the chance to fossilize Professional mourner In China, professional funeral mourners have existed for more than 2,000 years They can perform services like “kusang,” which is a cross between singing and crying that is a feature of Chinese funeral rituals Other professional funeral performances in China include costumed dancing and an act in which the mourner crawls toward the coffin, crying for the dead person to return In England, there’s a company called “Rent a Mourner” that supplies professional funeral attendees, in case you’re worried about low attendance Gold Stacker The world’s largest depository of gold bars is an underground facility in Manhattan: The gold vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York The FRBNY has so many gold bars coming in and out that it employs professional “gold stackers” who are paid to ... stack gold Each gold bar weighs 27.4 pounds (12.4 kilograms) FRBNY stackers have to wear protective footwear so they don’t crush their toes with gold, and they have to work in shifts so they don’t get worn out lifting these bars over and over Subway Pusher Have you ever wanted to shove human beings for a living? Believe it or not, you can The Tokyo subway system is notoriously crowded, so they often have to pack as many humans as possible into each train car. This means actually pushing them through the doors when the train is nearly full. The white-gloved people-pushers are called “oshiya” Oshiya have been used in the Tokyo subway system since the 1950s Gum Remover You’ve all seen what city sidewalks look like – with millions of spots of nasty ancient chewing gum stuck to the concrete Will that gum be there forever, or is there someone with the courage and determination to remove it? How about a Gumbuster? Gum Removers use machines that shoot out high-pressure steam with chemical additives to soften and remove gum spots There’s a company in Washington D.C. called Gumbusters D.C., devoted to removing gum spots – supposedly it has pulled in more than $100,000 per year removing gum spots
