Who do we thank that it was the British and Canadians, and not OUR government, who funded this study?

[WilsonTheDog]

So, that would mean that Bill Clinton is a herring since everything that comes out of his mouth, besides the whore of the moment, is a brain fart.

[eddie willers]

...RED herrings.

I believe these are the Brown variety.

[Consort]

Is that the origin of the term "backtalk" (sASS)?

[RosieCotton]

Ping!

[RosieCotton]

Oops...left a name off.

[SandRat]

ssssssh! Don't tell Al Gore or he'll want to write a new book "Ode to the Oceans or how Herring communications Smells"

Welcome to Free Republic.

I have no idea why you pinged me to this thread.

Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!

[My2Cents]

I think the folks over at DU aren't herrings at all...they're more like sewer trout.

[GreenLanternCorps]

Well, I guess I'm bilingual!

[No Blue States]

"At night herring squeeze bubbles out of their swimbladders through an anal pore, producing sounds such as "good one"..and "ahh yeah"..and "i didnt do it"

[ancient_geezer]

"These sounds may have consequences for our understanding of herring behaviour and the effects of noise pollution."

Not to mention global warming.

Save the earth, reduce the number of flatulence emmiters in the oceans, eat more herring :O)

"So do 10 year old boys."

So do 42 year old guys on poker weekend at the beach!

[DeFault User]

What kind of google search do you do to come up with a story like this one?

>>Herring flatulence research British<<

[leadpencil1]

Makes it easy to tell who the culprit is if your ever on an elevator with a herring.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Just like liberals.

[El Laton Caliente]

Where was the "Pull My Finger Alert"!
