The national embarrassment in the Oval Office finds new ways to make a mockery of the United States every time he talks to someone. This week, that “someone” happened to be the Duchess of Cornwall. Camilla apparently can’t stop talking about Biden “breaking wind” during a reception on Monday. He is supposed to be committed to reducing emissions – but when President Joe Biden produced a little natural gas of his own at the COP26 summit, it was audible enough to make the Duchess of Cornwall blush. An informed source has told The Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken...

Judge Jeanine Pirro used her Saturday night Fox News show to launch a mockery-loaded rant against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y) Green New Deal, fixating primarily on cow farts. Reviewing the economic and environmental plan in her opening monologue, Pirro noted that it aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. The reason for the use of the term “net” rather than just “zero,” she insisted, was that the plan’s advocated are “not sure they’ll be able to get rid of bovine flatulence, a.k.a. cows farting.” The talking point was accompanied by a dramatic graphic involving Earth being busted into pieces...

A patient in a Tokyo hospital has been left with serious burns after she passed wind during an operation that ignited the laser a surgeon was using during the procedure. The woman, in her 30s, was undergoing surgery at the Tokyo Medical University Hospital which involved a laser being applied to her cervix and lower part of her uterus. However, as the surgeon carried out the procedure, the patient passed wind as the laser was being used. It then caused the gas to ignite, sparking a fire, which set her hospital gown and legs ablaze. She suffered serious burns but...

People should eat fewer baked beans to reduce flatulence which can contribute to global warming, a minister suggested today. Fears were raised about the impact of ‘smelly emissions’ caused by Brits eating more beans than any other country in the world. Climate change minister Lady Verma said it was an ‘important’ issue and urged the public to ‘moderate our behaviour’. Concerns have previously been raised about the effect of methane emissions from cows on global warming. But in the House of Lords today a Labour peer raised questions about the impact of human diet on emmisions. Viscount Simon, 73, a...

FARGO -- A Cass County jail inmate faces a felony assault charge for allegedly knocking another inmate unconscious, a scuffle that was reportedly prompted by repeated farting and a racial slur. Court documents filed Wednesday in Cass County District Court allege the incident happened Monday during a confrontation at the jail's medium security unit between inmates Ahmed Nur Adan, 27, of Fargo, and Timothy Lowseth, 26, of West Fargo. According to an arrest synopsis from the Cass County Sheriff's Department, Adan and Lowseth were talking next to cell 104, when Adan suddenly punched out Lowseth, knocking him to the ground...

Washington - The United States Marine Corps has banned audible farting in Afghanistan because it is culturally offensive to civilians working with the military and members of the Afghan National Army.

The ban has caused a stir among former and current members of the military who question the reasoning behind the decision which has ignited a firestorm of comments from readers and fellow bloggers of Battle Rattle.

Brian Conant stood alongside his fellow National Guardsmen during a training session about eight years ago in Hawaii. He was wearing a heavy chemical warfare suit lined with charcoal. "Any time I expelled gas in the suit, I realized nobody could smell it," Conant, 48, says. "It was amazing."

A FLATULENT turtle set off an aquarium's fire alarm after being fed a Christmas treat of Brussels sprouts. It broke wind and the bubble it created was so strong, it set off an emergency sensor inside its tank at the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth, Dorset, yesterday. It indicated the water was at a dangerously high level, so marine biologist Sarah Leaney rushed to the aquarium. Last night, she said: "When I got there, all seemed fine. I looked at the tube containing the sensor and saw a turtle beneath it. "As I watched, a few large bubbles emerged from...

After more than 82 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, Walter is as flatulent as ever. Which is good news for Glenn Murray, co-author of "Walter the Farting Dog" and an ever-expanding line of "cutting-edge" picture-book sequels that have captivated little boys and proper grandmas alike. "There seems to be no limit," Murray says, "to what you can do with an imaginary farting dog."

For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. The controversial children's book "Walter the Farting Dog" will remain on the shelves at West Salem Elementary School of another attempt to remove it from the library. The book, which came under scrutiny in January, barely survived an appeal to the West Salem School Board by Maynard Carlson and his son, Richard. In the split decision, the board voted 4-3 to keep "Walter the Farting Dog" in the district's elementary school library. The book was questioned by Maynard Carlson earlier this year after his grandson (Richard Carlson's son) read it to...
