I can see why you might think that but what I found interesting about the article wasn’t so much the tee hee aspect but that these college kids actually invented something that might be useful. They’re the whiz kids of the future. Today it’s a class project with a certain frat boy yuck yuck element but once they grow up a little they might just invent something truly amazing.They'll get an NIH grant.
I'm serious.

Now...if they want a rating system, they need to consider the KIND of fart they’re trying to rate.
For instance, a room-clearing SBD (Silent But Deadly) might garner a high rating. But is it better than, say, a fart that’s so loud and prolonged that it wakes up 3 men out of a sound sleep?
(Think such an animal doesn’t exist? Oh yes it does...because I did it. Lots of German beer + a good night’s sleep + horrid gas pains in the morning = the world’s worst alarm clock. Nearly ended my life, too. Not the fart itself, but I was almost pummeled to death by my 3 roommates.)

"This is a disgisting, useless post."
No post is useless if it offers an opportunity to revere the memory of he who made the greatest contribution to the French national identity and pride since the egalitarian revolution.

I’s how many rows you can clear out in a theater!
I had a friend that was proud to be able to clear at least 3 by eating pickled boiled eggs and beer before going to the theater!

Yes. If it doesn’t make the folks in the elevator puke, then it wasn’t a good one.
That’s Powerful Stuff.

Nothing is worse than a fart from my 14 year old Dalmation!Yeah right. Blame the dog.

...a beer fart from an egg fart, a cheese fart from a broccoli fart, a peanut fart from a chili pepper fart and the multiple "nose" farts like the Domino's fart from a Taco Bell fart.You forgot the vile garlic fart.

When I was a kid I knew another kid who could fart at will. He was a riot and the most popular kid in the neighborhood. Then one day, after one of his fartapaloozas he accidentally crapped his pants. We laughed at him mercilessly. He never did it again.
I am reliably informed that that, my FRiend, is called a shart.
