Sorry for being so scatalogical but:

Nitrogen is the primary gas released. Carbon dioxide is often present, especially in persons who drink carbonated beverages in quantity. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components, are flammable, and so flatus is susceptible to catching fire. Not all humans produce flatus that contains methane. For example, in one study of the feces of nine adults, only five of the samples contained bacteria capable of producing methane.[3] Similar results are found in samples of gas obtained from within the rectum.

What connects almost 40% of all US presidents.

The first one did, then the second did not.

The next two did, then not the next two.
The next three did, but the following three didn't.

Nothing to do with political parties.

The last was Bill Clinton.

And what might it have been?

it is not on youtube which is a pity but the transcript which loses a lot without his deadpan delivery is something along the lines of:

Mr Burns: Mattingly! Cut that hair and shave off those sideburns

Mattingly: What sideburns?

Mr Burns: One more outburst like that and I'll send you back to the big leagues!

(the next day, Mattingly shows up with the sides of his head totally shaved)

Mr. Burns: Mattingly! I said shave those sideburns!

Mattingly: Look Mr. Burns, I don't know what you think sideburns are...

Mr. Burns: Thats it! You're off the team!

The clue is in the surnames.

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 12:39 pm

ending in N?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 12:42 pm

Have a surname ending with "n" ?

harry 3 · Post by **harry 3** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 1:08 pm

......is the correct answer.

Wahey.

The Fantastic Four was released by Fox in 1995, but they released an earlier version in 1984. It never received a proper release despite having a budget of $1.5m, so why did they make it?

something to do with prolonging a copyright?
