Is this the end of part of our way of life?

    OK it is well known that I am not a particular fan of threads on bodily functions. However, I feel I must bring this to the attention of the brothehood, in this mornings herald am there is an article which states that:

    Quote "Embarrising bottom burps may become a thing of the past:eek:
    Our agricultural research organisation just last week was able to map the genome that causes methane in ruminent animals and we believe we can vaccinate against flatulent emissions" End quote.

    Now I don't know about you but a good ripper is one of the most pleasurable experiences you can have, not to mention it can be a way of establishing a social pecking order and needless to say can be an endless source of merriment. Damn scientists determined to take the fun out of life:mad:

    Nothing like cocking the leg and letting a long ripper off while sitting on your mates leather couch that reverberates around the room.

    But would we be classified as ruminant animals? That's the important question here. If we are then there will be a revolt and underground movements will be set up promoting the widespread consumption of Guinness, beans, eggs and steak.

    Flatulence ftw

    I fart, therefore I am.

    You should never outgrow the fun to be derived from either a ripper or a room-clearing SBD.

    there is nothing better than letting off a nice warm one and sitting there trying to hold in the laughter while the others in the room get the fragrance

    Slow Motion I was not aware you where a ruminent animal:p

    1)this wont be transfered to humans simple matter cost, not nearly enough profit in it to sink half a billion or so into developing it

    2)also micro flora will be much different in ruminents than humans

    3) great as the genome mapping is, genes are only a blue print they do nothing, real answers like with the proteins expressed. Identify it is one thing, solving it safely is a very different matter

    We could always use it to increase the flatulence and thereby the pleasure of the brothers.

    If we could create a lac operon style system of positive and negative regulation, using beer as the positive regulator and the presence of wimmins as the negative regulator.

    Eureka, now I know why I did Micro!! To genetically engineer the Brothers of BGRH to be even more manly! Human trials to begin shortly!!

    Incidentally, I may need volunteers to drink crates of beer and talk to wimmins while we monitor the effects of the treatment. Any takers??

    A night of Guinness and chili will do that;)

    So BGRH Would be pretty much the same except probably a Private forum???

    People tend to be a little embarrassed when unloading a ripperoo in company.

    This is a perfectly natural function and modern mores and manners preclude us from doing what comes naturally.

    The upshot of this is that we suppress the desire to release flatulence which in turn causes problems.

    So, despite the constraints and the socially unacceptable act,I , when the gas build up is imminent, tend to unload the lot in a rather vigorous expulsion which can upset my company.

    But fcuk them, thats my way,if they don't like it......
