I've heard Canadians were polite but isn't that taking things just a little too far?

Dlowan, talking about masturbation and flatulence, gave the reader a personal tour of the activity in the Lowan household when she wrote:
Yes. And I enjoy both.


Simultaneously? That's quite the picture you've painted, Dlowan.

Quite the image indeed.

I know some who really clear up the nasal areas ... Shocked ... I mean, OFFICIALLY no one has ever died of farts, but I HAVE heard there is some sort of ancient mixture which can really blow your head off...

I'm sure that someone here-- probably Gus-- is working on that right now.

Actually Rick, I did hear of someone who died from "gassing" himself. Can't remember where, possibly the Darwin awards, I shall have to check and get back to you.

Must be an urban legend fortune. Some weeks ago there was a programm on MTV (yes, MTV can be very educational) and it discussed popular urban legends, whether they were true or not. One of the legends discussed was whether there have really been cases of people who have died from farts. It was not true. You can not die (directly) from farts. It has something to do with the concentration of the gasses, and that it is not high enough to be lethal.

From the Darwin Awards web site:

(25 March 1993)
"A terrible diet and room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man killed by his own gas. There were no marks found on his body, but an autopsy revealed the presence of large amounts of methane dissolved in his blood.

His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage, just the right combination of foods to produce a severe gas attack. It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed.

Had his windows been open, the flatulence wouldn't have been fatal, but the man was shut up in a nearly airtight bedroom. He was an obese man with an unlimited capacity for creating the deadly gas. Three rescuers became sick and one was hospitalized."

Another one of lesser relevance (but still just as strange):

"(California) A dairy worker who heard that bovine flatulence was largely composed of methane, and potentially explosive, decided to apply the scientific method to the theory. While one of his contented cow charges was hooked up to the milking machine, he waited for the slight tail lift which dairy workers know signals an impending expulsion, generally something to avoid. Our hero struck a match. His satisfaction at seeing the resulting foot-long blue flame lasted mere seconds, before the flame was subsumed by a rectal contraction. The poor Holstein exploded, killing the worker who was struck by a flying femur bone. "

Edit: The last one is aknowledged to be an urban legend, but hey, it's funny as hell!

The Darwin Awards website - sorry to say it - does not seem to be the most serious website I ever encountered fortune.

No problem, it's still pretty funny (in a morbid kind of way).
