Beanz meanz fartz

Post by rainbow » Fri Aug 25, 2017 11:24 am

Americans report passing gas an average of 14 times a day, with the normal range extending up to a frequency of 22 times daily. Many people who think they have too much gas fall well within the normal range, concludes famed flatologist Michael Levitt, M.D., “and they simply have to be informed of their ‘normality.'”

Have they just asked random people "how often do you fart?" or were people actually walking around for days with checklists making a mark each time they farted?

Surely the volume of fart gas is more significant than the number of individual bottom burps. Ten farts of two cubic meters is after all more than 20 farts of 0.25 cubic meters. Obviously.

The science of all this seems seriously flawed to me! Sloppy.

..but of course sloppy is a whole other area worth researching..

22 time a day? Fucking amateurs.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

..and it occurs to me that the density - the number of poo particles per cubic centimetre will probably vary. There's a PhD in this!

Could have been in the Beano, Dandy or the Sunday Post. Bullies and getting a spanking. Not very PC is it.

VIZ comics. A sort of parody of those old Beano type comics - and as non PC as they come - all the better for it!
