I am positively astounded
I really expected that my latest post would have incited several dopers to post a reply. I mean, the broad thematic spectra presented for discussion covered an ample fraction of current human knowledge. As such, it should have easily prompted a stream of responses.
Summarizing the subjects mentioned or indirectly alluded by the post:
Dinosaurs
Self destruction of the human race
Nuclear Bombs–yes, nuclear not atomic.
Cloning
Environmental issues
The Matrix
Jurassic Park
And of course, farts.
I believe that the present of such gases is working against the survival of this thread. I find that doubly ironic. From one standpoint–the one mentioned in this thread–farts worked as creation-oriented entities; through their prolific existence they allowed for humanity to surface and establish its domination upon this planet. Yet, in this thread they appear to be acting as extinction-oriented agents; through their unfounded conceptualization as disgusting entities they are driving the doper population away from this thread and hence leading it into an untimely death.
The other ironic connotation that springs from the abundantly high fart density displayed here is that this thread was started as an attempt to combat the ostracism with which farts have been victimized through the history of humanity. Yet it appears that their recurring appearance on this thread is the reason why people don’t post back.
In any case, as my last attempt to earn some respect for farts, I present to you this Benjamin Franklin quote, graciously provided by Connor:
"Fart proudly"
I always have Ben and I always will.
