    Or, as they say in Boston, “A fatwa.”

    The fart war is more surprising than the “smooth brain”, and the magma is more dangerous than both. BTW, who won the fart war?

    Even though they have modern tools, manatees have only a rudimentary understanding of brain surgery. Their procedures usually involve a flipper held stick blender.

    “Fart wars,” and farts as a whole, was a genre during the Edo period. There are thousands of pieces to show that.

    A friend and I had a farting contest in a small country church one night. His dad was preaching and was not amused. We caught hell after the service.

    If we have molten hot magma beneath Yellowstone where do we look for solid cold magma? North pole?

    If only the fart wars were the most inappropriate thing to come out of Japanese art.

    I don’t think I’d want to have lived in Japan’s Edo period.

    My parents had this record they must have gotten in the 1940s. The Crepitation Contest, originally on 78 RPM records. You can still hear it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPplyQWf-u4
