Sometimes when I do a big poo I look in the bowl and nothing is there, I then marvel at my bodies ability to produce a faeces with the perfect blend of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics that makes this possible.

It's interesting that the English language has no singular for 'faeces' (technically the Latin singular would be 'faex') but it feels wildly grammatically incorrect to refer to "a faeces".
Better to stick with 'turd', 'shite' or 'log', perhaps.
A A Gill once wrote a marvellous piece that described vegetarians as having 'a colon that works like the log flume at Alton Towers' which perfectly describes this, where it just vanishes around the u-bend

A phantom "pregnancy".
I think ‘pieces of faeces’ has a ‘ring’ to it. Wouldn’t work here though…
