The small intestine is important to digestion, which takes several hours. The partially digested food has to move slowly and make lots of contact with the walls of the intestine, so a long tube with small diameter slows things down and insures proper digestion. Once digestion is complete, all that is needed is storage of the indigestible waste that is left and some reabsorption of water. The shorter but wider large intestine serves the storage function in a space-efficient manner. Each intestine is the right size and shape for the function it serves.

Food you take in, is oily, carbonated etc. it take a lot of time for your body to take minerals out of it. Then what is left is waste, in the large intestines. I suppose it is not required to be larger than small intestines. nature made us like that if circulation is once in a week, Then large intestines required to be good storage point for the waste.

very simple.
intstines are classified on basis of their dia andnot length. large intstime has more dia and less length and small is vice versa. see gray's anatomy book.

go p.c.., that is understated, classic and could not scream "final season" in a rush. do not perm, you dont prefer the entire "i'm a competing gut" factor occurring, it says "desperate gastronomical" to me. sturdy success consisting of your inner variety replace, very few might dare.
