Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 05, 2019

That’s no doubt why manatees are so suave.

So who won that Edo Period flatulence war?

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?

I don’t think I want to live near Yellowstone.

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.

I imagine if you go deep enough, everyone has that much hot magma beneath their house.

Note to the above…develop a Manatee brain. ;-)

Oh, oh! This is fun. Actual photographic comparisons of manatee brains and three othe mammalian brains.

This is why bing.com image search is my favorite method for searching visuals of every kind.

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?

Ah the Japanese.

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.

“I am your father " …“FART!” ….“NOOOOOO” fart wars

Edo period? Did they mean ENDO period!?!!! ROFL

“The Fart War” . . .I’m glad I didn’t get wind of it.

Wonder how fart war started? By the one who smelt it or dealt it? A loud one or stinky one? Was a king hot boxed? These are things I need to know! Gonna research!

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

Two bottles of sake and two pounds of sushi made Mizaki mayor of Tokyo…
