The "Pull My Finger" Project
Something's been weighing heavily on my mind for quite some time, and I think I'm finally ready to test my hypothesis. The question: “What if everybody in the world farted at the same time?” I'll need your help, and can do nothing but assume that you're going to participate unless I hear otherwise. At 4PM (Pacific) today, I need you to let loose and pass some gas. If my theory is correct, the planet will survive this influx in Pu (Stinkinium) gases. Not quite a noble gas, but respectable nonetheless. Thank you for your kind assistance. My suggestion? Grab a burrito or two for lunch. Careful not to push too hard – no solids are required for this experiment.

know who can go 550 miles on $30 worth of gas? If every car delivered 55 mpg, the Saudi’s would be left to drink their oil. Related Content: It’s a Gas, Gas, Gas Gas Gas Gas Gas Prices vs. Summer Vacation Wacky Coverage of the Hurricane CoverageThe “Pull My Finger” Project

This sounds like famous last words to me. “Oh hell, it'll be fine. Just everyone fart at the top of the hour, and it'll be a big hoot.” Next thing you know, we'll have opened up a rift into the Fart Dimension or something equally silly. A pox on you, Chris Pirillo, and on all those foolhardy enough to follow your mad science!

This just in…there are reports of a gas plume cloud over the eastern states. Tests were conducted and scientist found exhorbinant amounts of stinkinium gasses. One lit a match made the cloud turn into a ball of flame. There are rumors that this cloud was started by a project initiated online…

I just realized what happens when everybody in Redmond farts at the same time. They call it an operating system.

I'm always passing gas, I like the squeaky ones best. The cheese and bean burrito is the king of gasmakers as far as my bowel is concerned. What would be interesting is if you had 1000 people stuffed in a room that could bareley contain them, and they all performed a gaseous emission.

I have given this topic quite a bit of thought myself. Unfortunatly, due to popilation spread, there isnt all that much that would happen. Except in really close quarters.
On the other hand, if the population of earty were to gather up in some really dense crowd, hold in all of thier farts for a few hours and then “let it rip” — you would probably have some asfixiations, etc — depending on altitude. Thats all that can be said about it. There isnt a definate answer. Well.. except the fact that it would smel bad.
Can anyone here post the gaseous breakdown?

You are all nasty sick minded people who need serious help. How about you all get lives instead of thinking about having everyone in the world fart at the same time. And for the person who said ” i’ve farted before”, way to go… I hope that isnt ur greatest accomplishment in life u pethetic excuse for a person. You’d think over time, humans would become smarter, instead it seems like thier becoming more idiotic everyday.
