Goodbye to the savings on the heating bills at night.

Well there goes the fragrance candle industry!

I got wind of this development the other day. Not something I'd bring up in an elevator with a stranger, but pretty interesting. At the same time,it could be another science hoax -- I dunno, something doesn't smell quite right.

This could prove to be hugh!

"More beans, Mr. Taggert?"

[WhiteGuy]

Pissant,

Thanks as always for the compelling news stories you seem to find!

Great work and well done!

Personally, regular beans work just fine for me.

Let'r rip!

Good gawd pissant, I can't believe you didn't jump all over this one.

Girlie-man beans. Hells bells, the flatulence is the main reason I eat beans.

Called PRIM beans. If I'm gonna be PRIM and PROPER, I ain't gonna be eating beans.

And then the Dr's name. You can't tell me you didn't laugh at the guy's name. Try looking at it from the phone book listing: Leakey, Colin, M.D. And he's a FART doctor.

Sorry folks that's where I quit reading. This has The Onion or Scrappleface written all over it.

[freedomlover]

But the more you f@rt, the better you feel!!

So no more beans for every meal!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

No longer "the musical fruit"?

[Sax]

Beans, beans, the magical fruit

The new one are quiet, so you'll be mute.

I find Pepita Beans to cause the most flatulence in me and sometimes it is desired. Once I was on a plane ride. I had the window seat and an annoying Frenchman had the aisle seat. I really wanted him to change seats since he was so annoying with his arrogance. Soooooo.... I asked the Flight Attendant for Pepita Beans which she brought. After I ate a bunch of them, I felt the flatulence build up in me but I had to be careful. I didn't want to flat out make a blast so I forced it out in small doses...quietly. About 20 minutes into the this, the Frenchman who was drinking a glass of wine, suddenly stopped in mid-sip and glared at me angrily and said:

"I theenk you have made a wheeef!!!"

At that point, the Frenchman got up and switched seats. So why would I want flatulent-free beans? Flatulence is what makes beans FUN (and sometimes useful) to eat.

[exile]

"Flatulence-free beans could stir up new interest"

What! If it wasn't for the hilarious flatulence, who would even eat beans? Scientists need to work on a bean that causes even more amusing noises.

Dr. Samuel Johnson, the English writer and philospher, was once poetically inspired by a fart. Here is what happened:

Johnson was at a formal dinner. One of the female guests at the table was in the process of standing up when she accidentally let loose with an incredible fart. Everybody at the table froze in embarrassed silence. As a quick afterthought, the woman scuffed her shoe against the floor in a pathetic attempt to make everybody think that the fart was really her shoe scrapping against the floor.

Still an embarrassed silence from the dinner guests...except from Samuel Johnson who calmly observed thusly:

"Madam, we heard you the first time. There is no need to make it rhyme."

Well, this should help global warming, shouldn't it?
