    … not to be confused with ants having sex out of wedlock.

    As of 2020, how is the 24/25-year-old Floridan’s flatulence now?

    Think of the poor surgeon, spending weeks bent over the patient’s foot after he did the operation.

    I was watching a funny clips show and one was a race with the announcer calling the horses positions as usual. One of the horses in the lead was named Hoof Hearted!!! Say that out loud a couple of times.

    I can barely reach my toes much less having my hand sewed to my foot. My body does not bend enough any more so I guess I would have to go thumbless.

    I wonder whether that surgical description could be written more confusingly…I can’t decide whether to shake his hand or put my foot down.

    Who is writing these? They are not even getting the stories straight now, look up Carl Nicoladoni.

    And since when did farting become a crime?

    The way it’s written, it sounds like Nicoladoni was bent over for weeks after the surgery, not the patient!

    Did that toe story make zero sense to anyone else?

    The boy was also mischievously shutting down the computers some of the other students were using. The boy confessed, was placed under arrest by a school resource officer and charged with disruption of school function. This happened on November 4th, he purposely broke wind, which I guess caused the other students to have trouble breathing. Wow, would be a great idea for a horror movie.

    The toe-thumb one sounds agonizingly painful, but I will put my foot down while taking the matter at hand.

    I don’t understand that description of that surgery. Did a toe become a finger? Become a thumb? The hand was temporarily attached to his foot???

    Fact check: It was 1898, and it was the second toe, not the big toe. https://www.jprasurg.com/article/0007-1226(91)90078-X/pdfAlso, the boy was arrested for disrupting class by turning off his classmates’ computers and farting. He was 12.

    In 1987, I was kicked out of class after farting for “disrupting the class” even though it was barely audible – because my tablemate was close enough to hear and he yelled out “EWWWW KEVIN FARTED!” and the rest of the class screamed and ran to the other side of the room… but somehow I was responsible for disrupting the class.

    Then I got detention for grabbing my stuff and going to the library instead of sitting out in the hall.
