Off Topic Helpful Hint to Mothers
I am passing this along to mothers of little boys.
If I had this information 25 years ago, I could have scared the crap out of three little boys who grew up at my house.
Dinosaurs may have farted themselves to extinction, according to a new study from British scientists.
The researchers calculated that the prehistoric beasts pumped out more than 520 million tons (472 million tonnes) of methane a year — enough to warm the planet and hasten their own eventual demise.
Yes, farting can kill you.
Thanks to Carl, who himself is an old fart, for the heads-up.
I raised 2 of those fart machines and 1 husband … ex-hubby for a long time now! He was the WORST and one of those “pull my finger” jokesters! Or his most famous line: “Did you hear that frog on a motorcycle?” Those are funny the first couple times and then they just stink! LOL
1Ah, this explains so much.
I had thought that it was the anti-environmental, anti-regulation policies of the GOP that was making the air so polluted that asthma rates are going through the roof.
Now, all is clear. It is their stink, their odious lies, their anal-retentive attitudes that are causing the smog, the toxic air, and generally nasty air.
Perhaps I’d best not speculate as to why our water is going bad — well, just can’t help myself — it’s their continual p*ssing contests with progressives. They simply have to prove and reprove their manliness by being tough on women, children, the sick and the elderly. No wonder the rivers are turning nasty again (aside from oil leaks from those very safe pipelines they keep promoting).
2If you scared the crap out of them, it would have been a lot messier than a few farts. http://books.google.com/books/about/Everybody_Farts.html?id=17OQyq8E_DUC
3In the spirit of multicultualism, “Pull my finger” in Mexico is expressed this way
“En medio de dos colinas sale un toro bramando!”
Loosely translated, “From between to small hills, enters a snorting bull.” Properly punctuated, of course.
4I feel sure my two boys did more than their part to destroy the world.
When I met my wife I was a single dad with 13 & 15 year old boys. Shortly after we started dating the four of us were driving somewhere when the boys engaged in a flatulence competition. I told them that wasn’t the kind of behavior to exhibit in front of a lady and they in turn informed Janice that I used to be an active participant in the competition.
She didn’t run screaming from the car and I knew I had a keeper.
5Thankfully, someone, obviously male, concluded that flatulence was flammable. Subsequently, generations of young males, each without concern for his own safety, has ignited farts, thereby saving the environment. Ladies, our duty is to serve!
6Methane, hmmm? Who run BarterTown?
7Make that, have ignited.
8Another public service message from Fox News.
9I’m afraid that this information would have invoked dinosaur fart contests if I had sprung it on them 35 or 40 years ago with evaluation scores from chameleon to tyrannosaurus rex.
10With two sons,four brothers and an ex-husband,I am sometimes amazed I have any sense of smell left.My younger son used to love coming into my bedroom and tell me he had something really important to share with me.He’d let the most disgusting smell rip from the depths of his bowels,and then slam my door and brace himself,holding the knob so I couldn’t escape, laughing hysterically on the odor free side.Makes me laugh now that my boys are grown and on their own.Can’t wait to tell him he must have been a dinosaur in a previous life.
11I absolutely LOVE this:

Thanks, Bo for the best laugh all day!! ;o)
12Uncle Dave, I guess it’s a good thing that dinosaurs never discovered fire. The oxygen levels in the atmosphere were higher in the Mesozoic.
