fecal transplant? what's a fecal transplant?

And why does it make me laugh so hard?

I just saw this while I was surfing over at google news:

There's even a wikipedia entry:

This is so exactly the kind of medical approach I love. And yet, I think it's slightly grosser -- and _much_ funnier -- than maggots. I wonder if NPR ever covered this? I'd give a lot to hear someone say "fecal transplant" on the radio.
