Wild trout can physically shrink in length by up to 10 % in harsh winter conditions to conserve energy when food is scarce. Frenchman Christian Poincheval has invented a pill that makes a person's farts smell like roses or chocolate! Authorities in Steyr, Austria, were called out to investigate reports of a dangerous snake on the loose in November 2014, but it turned out to be a snake shaped pumpkin!

I would hate to be Indiana Jones in that gardening misunderstanding.

Wonder if that fart pill works on dogs. My dog has the smelliest farts. I put him outdoors whenever he lets one go

Poincheval’s invention was suggested already by Benjamin Franklin: He urges (Letter to the Royal Academy) that they should “discover some Drug wholesome & not disagreable, to be mix’d with our common Food, or Sauces, that shall render the natural Discharges of Wind from our Bodies, not only inoffensive, but agreable as Perfumes.”

I know people who think their farts smell that way already.

Maybe the dog’s farts always come in packs.

Try some orange cookies made from mix. It made everyone in the family (including the dogs) become the local orange bowl…

I find that a couple of ice-cold beers will make any trout caught by a fisherman GROW in length by 10%

Chocolate-scented farts. Now that’s a contribution to humanity!

Zippy the Pinhead might say:“Snake-shaped pumpkin! Snake-shaped pumpkin! Snake-shaped pumpkin!!”

The trout shown above resembles a rainbow trout.Snake-shaped pumpkin? Sounds like a plant we would rather NOT import, like one that can’t hitch a ride overseas to us, like freshwater pests (zebra mussels, Asian carp or even the emerald ash borer).

invent a device which captures the fart, compresses it into a tank to be later used as combustible fuel.
