On May 2, Chile's Chaiten Volcano released a gigantic cloud of emissions composed of ash, steam, smoke, and various oddball gases whose estimated amount equals to one trillion cow farts, a UN-sponsored climate change study revealed. "In just one day, this volcano set the Kyoto Protocol back 15 years, obliterating the otherwise outstanding success of our multi-billion dollar efforts to curb the release of cow farts into the atmosphere," complained Chairman of Intergovernmental Panel on Cow Farts (IPCF) Rajendra K. Pachauri at an emergency conference at Grand Plaza Hotel in New York yesterday. "Therefore, we demand that this eruption be considered unscientific and thus disqualified from inclusion into climate change models. Need I mention that it wasn't sanctioned by the the United Nations?"
The IPCF, a UN-sponsored organization tasked to evaluate the insoluble problem that threatens to end their careers, is not easily swayed by just one volcano eruption.
"Contrary to what our member states may think," said IPCC Chairman, "the success of our scientific body is measured not by the amount of released cow farts we can report in the end of each year. No, our success as a United Nations agency is measured by decreases in the production of food, decline of industries, lowered living standards, reduced life expectancy, and a complete halt of economic development in the poorest nations."
The IPCF does not carry out research, nor does it monitor cow farts. The main activity of the IPCF is publishing special reports on topics relevant to cow farts, in order to raise awareness about the potentially catastrophic effects of industrial development, self-reliance, and capitalist prosperity on the existence of various intergovernmental panels within the framework of the United Nations.
"It takes more than a volcano to stop our opposition to the threat presented by industrial production and free markets to the ideas of global government and central planning," said Mr. Pachauri. "If we don't act soon, my children may never be able to chair an intergovernmental panel, control the economy, and distribute production quotas. The hardest hit will be Third-World dictatorships that are contributing disproportionately more money to our members and their families. So it isn't just our fight. The stand against economic development and free enterprise has become an urgent global issue - a moral issue if you will - that affects the physical survival of all endangered intergovernmental agencies."
The IPCF conference concluded its work on an optimistic note, resolving that in order to compensate for all past and future volcano eruptions, the UN must push for even stricter limits on all industries and redouble taxes on developed nations.
A separate chapter calls for a special volcano tax on the worst offenders starting with Chile - with a footnote explaining that if the Chileans hadn't disposed of the Marxist regime of Salvatore Allende in 1971, the whole issue could've been avoided because they wouldn't be anywhere near the list of developed nations today.

F””cking Awesome!! http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m208/justadumbblonde_2006/smileys/?action=view¤t=fart.gif
Indeed..a keeper
It has YOU writen all over it!! Actually, with the sweet demure blushing it’s more like me...Tee Hee...Mah Lawd! Ah think I’m gittin’ da Vapors...swoon...
A couple of weeks ago, some of us FReepers were down in the Corpus Christi area for a memorial shoot and party to honor one of our dear departed.
Across from The Mom and Eaker's weekend place down there is a property that has some goats on it.
Well, we city slickers were over there messing with the goats (one of 'em was trying to make out with humblegunner), and this pretty white horse ambles up. The horse was very friendly and hung around briefly. All of a sudden, the horse ripped this HUGE fart and then galloped off.
....Maybe you had to be there.
A HUGE and very LOUD fart. That poor horse was very embarrassed.
BTW - I hate that goat!!!
But that goat reeeeally likes humblegunner...
I was there and that is what happened.
I never saw a horse blush before!
The whole “cow flatulence” thing is simply another attack on the lifestyle that we Americans enjoy, with our wealth, we can enjoy a nice steak every f’n day if we want.
The leftists hate that.
We should have to live in poverty and squalor that lesser societies live in, just to be fair.
The two of you should get together and coauthor; "Broken Hearts and Breaking Farts."
Although I doubt it would become a popular "Coffee Table" book. Most people dislike farts on their Coffee Tables.
I don’t hate goats . . . I hate “that damn goat”! He is evil and wants to hurt me.
Your babies are cute.
This is the reason I love FR... after a long day of traveling, a quick look..... and this.
I laughed so hard, cola came out of my nose!
Thanks!
I’m so glad you got a laugh ... and very sorry about the cola thing! Oops! ;-)
Well, in that case I have 3 words: July. 4th. Barbeque.
There is definitely some bad mojo between The Mom and that particular goat. The very air was crackling with the tension. LOL
Annabelle and Buster are cute. I like to bleat at goats and have them bleat back at me.
Probably gonna milk this topic for all it’s worth.
