How The iPhone's SIRI Reacts When You Fart

Interesting not just for its obvious Potty Mouth relevance, but for questions of AI and machine interpretation of human speech.  And...well, farts.

How SIRI Reacts to Your Farts

Tweeting Your Farts on Twitter

Here's one I bet you kids at home haven't run across yet, despite the booming (heheh) popularity of Twitter these days: some genius has rigged up his office chair so that it automatically tweets a report of his workaday farts on Twitter. If you'd care to follow him--though, heheh, not too closely, we hope!--see the link below. Likewise if you'd like to build your own fart-detecting Twitter chair.

Soccer Player Reprimanded for Farting

Talk about weapons of mass destruction! In England, a soccer player (they call them "footballers" over there) was given a penalty warning by a referee for farting! Next time, I'm sure he'll remember to use his silencer...! heheheheh

Odor-Eating Pants in Space

Ever mindful of easing the tensions of living in close quarters with other biological units for long periods of time, NASA has seen fit to address the fact that said biological units--otherwise known as humans--tend to emit various noxious smells from the groin and butt region from time to time. And hey, I didn't say it, I didn't say "fart" or "sweaty crotch smell," heheheh.

So they invented these crazy britches here, which a brave astronaut is testing out on this very space shuttle mission:

Farts Are Funny!

Okay, they say on the website that this is a "kid using a fart machine" during the city council meeting...and yeah, we assume the two blonde-headed boys laughing are the culprits...but I mean, how do we really know?! Thanks to Erik Davis of Deathpower for the link.

Kid Kicked Out of School for Farting

Man, those must've been some stinkers!! Talk about Weapons of Mass Destruction... And not only was he suspended, he was apparently ARRESTED!

Fart and Lower Your Blood Pressure

It's all here in this latest study (by scientists, using mice, so it's gotta be true): your stinky farts may help to lower your blood pressure. Great news for many Americans, who have high blood pressure because they're overweight, and have stinky farts because they eat so much junk...

Fart Charges Dropped

You know we're digging deep here on Potty Mouth when we link to Perez Hilton's blog...but what can I say? It's been a slow week for potty and poop-related news. Hopefully next week things will start "moving" again, heheh.

But we leave you with this follow up to a story I had never heard the first part of: apparently this guy gets picked up for drunk driving, and while being detained, the cops won't let him use the bathroom. So he farts at them, and they charge him with assault for said flatulent aggression. Hmm, must have been a slow day for them, too. Anyway, they've dropped the charges now...

Powdered Methane

Chemists in the UK (and no, I don't mean the guys who fill your prescriptions in the drugstore, for you British readers) claim to have developed a powdered form of methane (the very stuff of farts, though the methane they're working with comes from off the coast of South Carolina), for easy storage and dispensing as an alternative fuel. And no, this is not a photo of the powder, but rather of good ole household sugar, which is said to resemble the stuff. Can "powdered cow farts for natural energy" be far behind? Via Discovery.

Cover Up Your Poop Sounds With Easy Listening Muzak

The best thing about this product, "Toilet Tunes," is the ultra-cheesy video they use to demonstrate it. Because this is uptight America, they have to have a flaccid, noisy moisturizer bottle act as stand-in for what we all know they're really trying to portray: overhearing your date's noisy poop-sounds! And of course, the whole concept of covering up your greasy bowel growls with recorded sounds was thought up long ago by the ever-resourceful Japanese.

Still, Monday Adventure Club and Potty Mouth heartily endorses this new toilet-related product. And, like the video shows, you can sleep with it, too!
