After studiously counting every fart, I have found that I have come up short. I’ve hit about 10, 12 at the most. However, since the ad is Canadian, represents the average number of Canadian farts, and the current flatulence exchange rate for Canadian farts is about 1.17, I think I am right on target. My flatulence rate is very much like my grades in college- average.

At least in my waking hours, 14 times seems kinda low.

People, please! Science World is located in Vancouver, BC, so unless you’re from the Socialist Republic of Canuckistan (like myself) none of your tax dollars went into this ad.

If they DID, you are certainly getting your money’s worth, no? It’s everywhere today.

I know several of the people at Science World, and they are very cool and strange. One fellow has a Master’s in biology and developed the Grossology show, which includes him doing what he calls Brain Floss: he snorts up spaghetti, then pulls one end through his mouth and saws it back and forth. For this he went to University.

Also: the number refers to how often CANADIANS fart. And I have no comment about that whatsoever. Talk to my lawyer.

That number seems extraorinarily high. 4 -5 is more like it. Unless they were counting queefs. Then the number could climb exponentially, depending on the intensity of the coitus.

Mid-Day Fart Report:

Only six in the last 12 hours. But I ate a bowl of chili for lunch. Let’s see what the afternoon brings.

Any human that shoots more than three bunnies every 24 hrs needs a heaping dose of Flagyl. You have Giardia lambia enjoying the hospitality of your small intestine. Seriously, have a fecal run over at the Walmart health-o-rama.

OK. To be serious, I think it’s highly dependent on what I’ve been eating. 14 might be a reasonable average. I’m never going to be able to count though, I will forget. I’d have to be outfitted with an assmeter or something.

I did read a somewhat serious report a few months ago that women farted significantly more often than men. I can’t even imagine what would come up if I googled that though.

I’m a heavy farter in bed, so I can’t get you an accurate number unless I film myself and sit through all eight hours of footage. But I would venture a guess that it’s easily 40 times every 24 hours.

Science is a Blast…

So to Speak Sometimes I’m glad I have a scientific background, because I can help people with scientifical questions. My answer to this one is in Agent Bedhead’s comments…….

For men, it’s 1, but for women, it’s 27, so the average goes up.

how much of my tax dollars went into counting it

Way too many?

When I’m flatulent, it’s bad. I’m talking weapons of ass destruction grade flatulence. I could fart 14 times in half an hour, when I’m in that mode. Not only will it drive normal people out of the room, it’ll also cause rats and cockroaches to flee in terror.

I seriously want to know who counted that, why they counted it, and how much of my tax dollars went into counting it.

Alright, AB. I will take the challenge. Tomorrow I will count my farts. I think I can blow that figure right out of the water. I will report back.

I haven’t really been too concerned about this Patriot Act stuff until just now.

How exactly do these people know how many times a day I fart?

As for whether it’s accurate or not, I couldn’t say. I don’t really keep track, do you?
