RIM chief suggests method for eavesdropping
After tangling with foreign governments over BlackBerry encryption issues, Research In Motion's co-CEO has one suggestion: ask the companies that use the smartphones for the encryption keys.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of RIM, reiterated the company's assertion that it has no way of giving governments the keys to the corporate data that flow through its BlackBerry networks. But those governments are free to ask BlackBerry-wielding companies themselves for access, a move that would be okay by RIM.
Balsillie added that he could see such countries creating a national registry in which companies … Read more

Digital City 74: Playing with Adamo XPS and the final word on Flash for the iPad (podcast)
On this week's Digital City, we discover some new fallout from the no-Flash-on-the-iPad issue, then spend some quality time with the long-delayed superthin Adamo XPS laptop.
We do a quick survey to find out where we've earned foursquare mayorships (here's a hint: they're all bars), and then check the official office March Madness standings in our office pool. Let's just say that coin-flipping to pick his teams may not have been Scott's finest moment.

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is coming to Colorado on Thursday. Campaign officials say Romney is holding a rally at the Jefferson County fairgrounds.
Romney is wrapping up a week-long trip to Europe on Tuesday, including a stop in Poland where he said Poland's economy is a model of small government and free enterprise that other nations should emulate as they struggle with the recession.

A June 1999 trip to Berlin by kjrst9
Quote: Find the excitement and energy in Berlin with a few must-see destinations and stay at an affordable hostel/hotel.
Member Rating 4 out of 5 on July 8, 2004
Hotel Transit Berlin Berlin, Germany
There is a great museum on-site, called the Info Box. It's a big red building. It talks all about the development of the site, how decisions were made regarding what to put there, how was involved, and the high-tech role. It's very interactive, and take it from me - someone who hates museums - this is worth it.

[[quoteright:347:[[VideoGame/PrimalRage http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fart_of_fury_3_9430.jpg]]]]
[[caption-width-right:347:The worst kind of gas weapon.]]
->''"Y'know how most dragons have firebreath attacks? Well, it's like that. Only it's not breath. And there's no fire. But it '''will''' feel like you're roasting alive."''
-->-- ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2008/06/17/episode-1006-too-many-dragons/]]
Gas. Flatulence. Cutting or squeezing the cheese. Breaking wind. [[Film/WeirdScience Floating an air biscuit.]] [[HurricaneOfEuphemisms Bottom burps. Barking spiders. Stepped-on ducks.]] [[Literature/TheBFG Whizzpops.]] In other words? '''FARTS.'''
In real life, the powers of flatulence are largely limited to clearing a room. And perhaps serving as an [[FartsOnFire impromptu blowtorch]], if you're [[TooDumbToLive really,]] ''[[TooDumbToLive really]]'' [[TooDumbToLive dumb.]] It's different in cartoons, though. There, the lowly flatus is often elevated to the status of [[{{Pun}} Weapon of Gas Destruction]]:
* It's... ''expelled'' with such force, it can serve as a [[WeaponizedExhaust source of propulsion]] in times of need.
* Its methane content is greatly exaggerated. While it's true that intestinal gas is flammable, the [[FartsOnFire puff of flame]] you'll get is... [[AntiClimax somewhat underwhelming]], shall we say. In cartoonland, however, lighting the proverbial match may just make the whole room go [[StuffBlowingUp "Boom."]]
* Its stench is so great, it's corrosive.
Largely limited to shows or video games [[AnimationAgeGhetto geared at kids]], probably because "adults" pretend to have a selective lower tolerance for ToiletHumour. Unless the show in question is a GrossoutShow to begin with.
This trope has little to do with the RealLife petard, a siege explosive ''named'' after the French word for 'farting'.
Related to ExcrementStatement, an extension of AssKicksYou, as well as an extension of ToiletHumour. Also see AssShove.
[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* The evil mice on ''Animation/BlackCatDetective''. Some of them had the ability to knock cats unconscious with their deadly emissions, warranting the use of space-helmets.
* ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'' had this as his means of flight. He also farts on his opponent at the end of an incomplete Muscle Spark. Not nearly as damaging as a complete one, but much more humiliating. He escaped Black Hole's alternate universe prison by using his farts as a "white hole" counter-attack.
** And then there was [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0bX33aAhYQ the duel between Kinnikuman and his father...]]
* [[Anime/{{Domo}} Domo-Kun]] uses farts as a method of propulsion.
* When ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' was fighting Kiba in the Chuunin exams, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny he (accidentally) let one of these out]]. [[spoiler: Which turned out to be a great tactical move, since Kiba's [[TheNoseKnows sense of smell]] was heightened at the time.]] Some of the [[LicensedGame licensed video games]] take it further, and give this to Naruto as a special move.
** [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries The abridged series]] [[Discontinuity/{{Anime}} denies that this happened]].
* This is the center of Gasser's ''martial art style'' in ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo''. Which is taken ''completely seriously'', as Gasser shares with Beauty the OnlySaneMan position (more so in the first episodes).
* ''Anime/{{Himawari}}'' features Momota, a cute animal sidekick who frequently attacks with his gas. As well, at one point, as using his backside as a watermelon-seed machine gun.
* One [[MonsterOfTheWeek Chimera Anima]] of ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' was a large kappa, who stunned the Mew Mews with a fart. Fortunately, Pudding happened to have a cold at the time.
* In ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** Franky's "Coup de Boo" proves that Creator/EiichiroOda does nothing half-assed (no pun intended). [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRBXXrHUc6c Up to and including his fart jokes.]]
** There is also the Skunk One from the second Movie, although he could be considered a user of artificial fartillery, since he has a bag of gas on his back, which he uses to propel himself in the air and to weaken his opponents (It makes a characteristic sound, when it emits gas).
** Foxfire Kin'emon a samurai whom the Straw Hat Pirates found in various pieces at Punk Hazard can actually talk with his farts.
* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': Tamama has farts vastly more potent then a normal Keronian, which he is quite proud of, and uses them as an attack on a few occasions. He also can use them to increase his swimming speed.
* Though it's not an intentional attack, Horo Horo's farts in ''Manga/ShamanKing'' are truly devastating.
* ''Manga/NininGaShinobuden'' has Onsokumaru wiping out a room full of Ninja with a fart in episode 5.
* In the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' episode "Smells Like Trouble", both Bacterian and Krillin use this move. In fact, Bacterian's entire style was based around his horrible stench. Bacterian is at first jumping up and landing on Krillin with his buttocks at first, but when Krillin makes the unfortunate move of catching Bacterian, the foul beast takes this as an advantage and releases a foul, huge fart on Krillin. Being a giant, especially compared to Krillin's tiny stature at the time, Bacterian falls on Krillin (who is no longer able to hold him from weakness from the smell) and rubs his butt on him, insuring the smell to linger. The only reason Krillin wins the fight is because ''[[LampshadeHanging Goku reminds him that he doesn't have a nose]]'', and is therefore imagining the smell. When Krillin gets Bacterian down, he farts in his face as payback, which surprisingly wins him the match.
** It also happened twice in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. In one episode Roshi accidentally farts, knocking out a dragon which had been threatening his group. There is also a scene in which gas venting from a port-o-potty occupied by Super Buu knocks [[FakeUltimateHero Mr. Satan]] out.
* LightNovel/{{Gokudo}}'s farts are smelly enough to empty a bar. This later becomes a ChekhovsSkill, [[spoiler:when he has to wake his companions from a sleep spell.]]
* The Jiggle Butt Gang from ''Anime/RaveMaster'' knock out an entire casino with their ultimate technique.
* Nezumi-Otoko uses this as a special ability in ''Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro''.
* ''Manga/KaiketsuZorori'': Ishishi and Noshishi have strong gas, and Zorori uses this when needed, to power machines and spacecraft. (That's not to say that Zorori's farts can't power spacecraft too, though.)
* Tetsuko from ''Anime/SuperMilkChan'' can produce powerful farts which she calls her Tetsuko Gas. It's strong enough to kill a wild bear
* [[OneShotCharacter Nenekogappa]] from ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'' manga series,a [[CuteMonsterGirl catgirl/kappa]] who once enrolled in Nube's class. She was able to catch Makoto when he was falling from a tree by using her farts to fly up and catch him. However the smell was so strong it knocked out all the other students who just so happen to be below her.
* Hiroyuki (Fuusuke pet penguin) from ''Manga/{{Ninku}}'' is capable of releasing explosives farts. which he sometimes use for propulsion, or to simply knock people out with.
** In the manga this ability belong to Toji.
* [[Manga/SakigakeOtokojuku Sakigake!! Otokojuku]] has Toramaru, his farts smelly enough to knock out a killer whale, and when he light them it creates his signature move the "Daihouhi Kaenhousha" aka the "Big Fart Flamethrower"
* Though it's edited out of the English dub, in ''Anime/MonsterRancher'', Hare's Gas is much stronger than it is in the game. In fact, in the anime, it's probably his most powerful move. Case in point: in his first appearance, he farts in Tiger's face and it's so foul it knocks out not only Tiger, but also the referee and many of the spectators.
* ''Peräsmies'' is a Finnish superhero parody comic. The title hero is a hobo who developed super-powered flatulence after eating irradiated pea soup; he flies by breaking wind, and knocks criminals out by farting on them. The name of the character is a combination of "Teräsmies" (Superman's Finnish name) and "perä" (rear end).
* In one of SelfDemonstrating/{{Lobo}}'s stories, he resolves an epic duel with his daughter by eating a can of beans (an obvious Popeye spoof) and setting his fart on fire to create a nuclear explosion.
-->'''The Sun:''' That was a corker!
* A similar thing happens in ''ComicBook/GorskyAndButch''. In a scene that is a direct spoof of Vasquez and Gorman's death from Aliens. Except here they use canned beans and a lighter. That, and the aliens are replaced by sheep as a result of an untranslatable VisualPun.
* The titular Johnny Fartpants from ''ComicBook/{{Viz}}'' uses farts to various effect and can alter the effect by eating different things i.e. a tranquilizer fart made by eating 200 paracetamol or an electric fart to power a life support machine by drinking battery acid.
* In one issue of ''ComicBook/TheDarkness'', a darkling defeats a {{mook|s}} during an underwater fight by farting into his air hose.
* The Harrowers from the ''Franchise/HellRaiser'' comics, and shortly-lived SpinOff, has Ovid. A [[OurAngelsAreDifferent cherub]] who serves the goddess of [[OrderVersusChaos life and chaos]]. One of his powers is anti-demon farts.
* In the Swedish comic ''Krystmarodören'' (about an anarchic AntiHero with [[ToiletHumour super-crapping powers...]]) the eponymous hero is [[LetsYouAndHimFight tricked into a fight]] with more upstanding hero Balkongståarn, a half-dressed man with a hover-balcony. After using his power to, erh, clogging the vents on Balkonståarn's vehicle, the guy snarfs down a can of baked beans, singing ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'s theme tune, and averts crashing by some massive farting.
* Subverted in a PhotoComic called "Fartman" in the March 1985 issue of the ''National Lampoon'' magazine. The title character's fartillery covers all of the above categories, and is quite effective. However, he refuses to actually ''use'' it, as it's too embarrassing.
* In ''ComicBook/TheBeano'' comic strip SuperheroSchool this is Stink bomb's superpower. He uses his farts to beat the badguys.
* In ''ComicBook/TheSavageDragon'', an entire team of bad guys had body function related powers. One of them was called ''Backdraft''. Do the math.
* ''ComicBook/{{Cazador}}'' has [[CaptainSuperhero Captain Cuete]], a superhero who can use his explosive farts to fly like a rocket.
[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoAmerica,'' there's a scene where the two main characters meet their fathers in the middle of the desert. After having a dinner of canned beans by campfire, Butthead's dad turns around and proceeds to fart into the flames, causing an explosion equivalent to a nuclear explosion.
** B&B also utilize burps and farts as (non-lethal) weaponry in their [[LicensedGame video game]].
* In the opening of the first ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' movie, Shrek jumps into a pond, releases a potent fart, and three dead fish who were caught in the deadly blast floats up, which then Shrek smirks as he picks up a fart-killed fish. Ogre astrology and mythology includes "Bloodnut the Flatulent", whose constellation includes hunters fleeing his stench. Also, when reaching the brimstone-smelling dragon lair...
-->'''Donkey:''' Man, you gotta warn somebody before you crack one like that. My mouth was open and everything.\\
'''Shrek:''' Donkey, if that was me, you'd be dead.
** In their second movie, Shrek and Fiona fart into their hotspring to make it bubble like a spa.
* Similarly, a promo for ''Disney/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'' has Pumbaa do the same. Timon and Simba were... understandably disgusted.
** Pumbaa's backstory establishes that he... well, smells... and is why he was cast out of warthog society. It is used to scare away some of Scar's hyena henchmen toward the end of the movie.
** In ''Disney/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'', Timon intentionally uses Pumbaa's...emissions as a threat against Zira's AmazonBrigade. They run away ''fast''.
* Kenny dies from having his heart replaced with a baked potato when he's in the hospital for lighting his fart explosively in the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut''. Unlike earlier, the death sticks, and kick-starts the plot. In other words, he was [[{{Pun}} hoist by his own petard]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Robots}}'' has a scene where everyone in Aunt Fannie's house is making fart noises with their armpits (heard only during a stationary outdoor shot). Aunt Fannie one-ups them all with a real one that shakes the world and actually '''kills''' a robot lamp post outside, whose dying words were: "Lady... please... see a doctor... ungh."
* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'': "I said DART Gun!" [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2 The sequel]] features a 21 Fart Gun salute.
[[folder:Films -- Live Action]]
* ''Film/MysteryMen'' features the Spleen, whose superpower is superpowered flatulence. The origin comes from the curse of a gypsy woman. (A deliberate ArtisticLicenseBiology example, as even curse-enhanced farts have nothing to do with the spleen.)
-->"One day, while walking with some friends, I accidentally cut the cheese. Well, in my adolescent awkwardness, I blamed it on an old gypsy woman who happened to be passing by. '''Big mistake!''' The gypsy woman placed a curse upon my head. Because I smelt it, she decreed I would forevermore '''be he who dealt it!'''"
** And, naturally enough, he is virtually the only team member whose power is both effective and can be used on demand...
** However, an archaic definition of "spleen" is "ill humor, bad temper, or spite." Fits with what he did to the gypsy and what she did in return.
* In the film ''Film/ZoomAcademyForSuperheroes'' one of the potential candidates for the team is "Jupiter the Gas Giant". He doesn't quite make the cut.
* [[PunnyName Windy]] [[{{Gasshole}} Winston]] from ''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie'', who uses his gas while fighting, or to just gross people out.
* This pretty much the ''raison d'être'' of the evergreen children's film ''Thunderpants''.
* In ''Film/StarshipTroopers'', the alien army has a literal fartillery, capable of taking down a large spaceship. It's less farting and more projectile... gobbets of bio-plasma.
* In the third ''{{Tremors}}'' film, the Shriekers metamorphose into "Assblasters", creatures capable of getting airborne by igniting their own farts.
* In ''Film/DumbAndDumber'', Jim Carrey's character lights his fart (in a daydream), which makes him the hit of the party.
* The titular character in ''Film/TheodoreRex'' ''interrogates'' someone this way. Surprisingly, it doesn't work.
* And in ''Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed'', Shaggy lit one of Scooby's farts to generate a flamethrower effect against The Miner Fourty'Niner.
* In the 1996 remake of ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor'', there is a dream sequence in which Sherman has a nightmare about being a giant and destroying the city with a fart that accidentally catches fire.
** ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor II'' features extreme FartsOnFire, fart propulsion in zero gravity, etc.
* In [[Film/TheGreenHornet the 2010 version of the Green Hornet]], Kato gives Britt a gun that, in his words, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "shoots farts at people"]]. Didn't help that the gas was GREEN, either.
* ''Film/MajorPayne'' knocks out one of his JROTC recruits with a fart after he tries to pull a LaxativePrank.
* The BigBad's hooker minion in ''Hanger'' uses queefs to torture a man.
* In ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'', the Dwarves possesses a wide range of gastrointestinally-based superpowers. Including superfarts. At one point, {{Badass}} BattleButler Butler (That's his name) is BlownAcrossTheRoom by one of these, much to his chagrin. Artemis himself occasionally refers to the rear end of a dwarf as "a wide-bore weapon".
* ''Literature/TheBFG'' by Roald Dahl has a drink with bubbles that sink. And make you "fly".
* Errol the Dragon from ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' is a rocket-flight version -- justified in that he specifically eats things in order to manufacture rocket fuel in his chemical-distillery insides. WordOfGod says that Errol is a throwback to the lunar dragons.
** Lunar Dragons, as seen in ''The Last Hero'', flame from... that end. This is largely because they live on a low-gravity environment, and a weapon that stops you in midflight is worthless.
* ''Literature/HiddenTalents'' by David Lubar has a kid nicknamed Hindenburg for his tendency to, well... He even manages to blow open a closet door.
* The (aptly-named) Gasman, a.k.a. Gazzy from ''Literature/MaximumRide''. Not only can they incapacitate foes with their smell, they're toxic green.
* In the war novel ''SS General'' by Creator/SvenHassel, Porta has a sudden attack of deafeningly-loud farts [[SoMuchForStealth while they're trying to sneak through the Russian lines]].
-->"Well, just try and control it!" I snapped. "It's like a bloody cannon going off!"\\
"Stick a cork up your bum," suggested Tiny.\\
"Germany's secret weapon," I said sourly. "The human champagne bottle... turns his back on the enemy and wipes out whole regiments at a fart!"
* ''The Day My Bum (or [[CulturalTranslation Butt]]) Went Psycho'', and the sequels. Farts, in this, are used by the bums not only as weapons, but also for flight.
* ''[[Literature/TheLordsOfCreation In the Courts of the Crimson Kings]]'' by S. M. Stirling. Do the methane-powered [[BioPunk living]] rifles of the Martians count?
* The children's book series ''Walter the Farting Dog'', which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* There is a traditional Japanese children's fable whose title, when translated to English, is ''[[http://anenglishmaninosaka.blogspot.com/2007/10/flatulent-folktales.html The Farting Wife.]]'' In it, a man marries a beautiful woman who is his dream girl, but her farts are so enormous they're capable blowing people and things away.
* In the Literature/HarryPotter book ''Literature/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'', this is what a [[http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_crab Fire Crab]] does ([[NonIndicativeName despite actually being a turtle]]). The video game later shows how it does it.
* In ''[[Literature/TheStainlessSteelRat The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You]]'' humans infiltrate aliens' base in an allosaurus-like robot with a bazooka under its tail. Guess how the charges were disguised.
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* ''The Power of Kroll'' is the only ''Series/DoctorWho'' story centred entirely around farts (methane production from a giant alien creature).
** The Slitheen have really smelly farts. This isn't much use to them (it has to do with "gas exchange"), but it is useful to the Doctor, who realizes what species they are from the way their farts smell.
** In the charity spoof episode "Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death", the Doctor and his companion are exploring the ruins of the planet Tersurus, which was inhabited by a now-vanished race called the Tersurons, the most kindly and peaceful race in the universe. They were shunned by all because they used flatulence as their means of communication.
--->"So what happened to them?"\\
"They discovered fire."
* ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'' has the dreaded Timmy Toot-Toot, who actually refers to his brain-blasting farts as his gift. On one occasion, an attempt to harness them as an alternative fuel source [[{{Pun}} backfired]], and forced the school to evacuate.
* In ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' episode "Cash", Mike accidentally ignites one of Vivien's farts, causing an explosion that demolishes the house.
* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' plays with this by having Rygel fart helium, but only when he's nervous.
** Or angry!
** Played for laughs in the episode ''John Quixote'' where the game character Rigel plays can shoot flame from his rear end.
* The supervillain Geyser Girl from ''AmazingExtraordinaryFriends'' has farts capable of knocking people unconscious.
* In an ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "Blood Money", Cordelia has a vision of a great fire-breathing monster. It's referred to in GettingCrapPastTheRadar fashion; Gunn and Wesley attempt to sneak up on it from behind, and flames appear, coming from the ([[CoconutSuperpowers offscreen]]) giant monster. Gunn laments "I thought you said it ''breathed'' fire!"
* The Le Corbussier et Papin sketches in ''Series/TheSmellOfReevesAndMortimer''. Literally in one of sketches, as rapid fart-firing knocks a cyclist off his bike and into a lake; metaphorical in others.
* Happens in a case of ''Series/OneThousandWaysToDie'', named ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Gas-Holed]]''. An ass-man proctologist forgets to tell a stripper with a nice ass to not eat anything before operating on her; she eats a HUGE chilli dog and later lets out a big fart during the surgery... accidentally blowing up the cauterizer and burning the DirtyOldMan doc's face and lungs.
* The Beast Battery Ovirappoo from ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' allows Kyoryuzin to release a stinky fart that weakens enemies.
** It was once used to provide the (sickly yellow, extremely smelly) smoke for a SmokeOut. It's performed by loading it into your weapon, and pointing up; the smoke comes from the ''back'' of the grip.
* In the Brazilian comedy show Casseta & Planeta Urgente, the show's MegaCorp Organizações Tabajara (an {{Expy}} of ACME) had various products and appliances based on farting power. One of the most notable was the "Kit Labareda", which allowed you to ignite your farts and create various fireworks effects.
[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
* General Pumpkin of Korean Folklore was both [[CursedWithAwesome Blessed]] and [[BlessedWithSuck cursed]] by this ability.
* There have also been serious or not so serious speculation on whether the milky way was formed from the gas of an {{Ancient Astronaut|s}} released into space.
* In many stories, [[{{Youkai}} Kappa]] have incredibly powerful flatulence, some say they even possess [[BizarreAlienBiology two anuses]], and the trait even led to an old saying about something having less importance then a Kappa's fart. Conversely this was also used against them, and there is more than one piece of ancient art with a human using fartillery on the Kappa instead. One such example can be found [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/YoshitoshiKappaControl.jpg here]].
* The little-known bonnacon is a mythological beast from Asia with a head like a bull, but with horns that curl in towards each other. As these horns are useless for defense, the bonnacon typically attacks by running away from its pursuers while letting out a gigantic fart that also spatters its dung everywhere, covering as much as two acres in sloppy cow dung that burns anything it touches.
* A common explanation in mythology for [[SmellySkunk skunks]]' stench. Some legends even say they can kill with it.
[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* When ''WebVideo/TheFundayPawpetShow'' started in '99, one of the regular features was the "Poot Board" on which it was recorded how many times and which puppeteer ripped one loose over the course of the four hour show. Generally Yappy and JR are the Poot Kings.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosWarioAndCompany Wario]], in most of his recent incarnations, has some variety of gas-based power. In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl,'' it's his B Down special attack; he can also create dangerous gas clouds in ''[[VideoGame/MarioStrikers Super Mario Strikers.]]''
** Taken over the top in the initial trailer where the fart creates a cloud you'd commonly associate with an A-Bomb... people pretty much speculated that this was his Final Smash, but surprisingly, it wasn't.
*** While not capable of creating such an impressive effect ingame, the Wario Waft is still by far Wario's strongest attack, though oddly, it's substantially ''less'' deadly at a full charge then it is anywhere between half charged and fully charged. Unless he's using his Wario-Man final smash, in which case the fully charged fart is an almost guaranteed OHKO.
** After losing a battle, O'Chunks from ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' will blast off using fart propulsion.
*** There's also a common enemy, Cherbil, which somewhat resembles a... well, [[http://www.mariowiki.com/images/b/b2/88_CherbilCard.PNG just look at it.]] It attacks by spraying a gas that causes various status effects from between its... cheeks. The in-game tattle information even alludes to this:
--> "Some say the gas come from their mouths. Some say it comes from elsewhere...... Oh, dear..."
** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'' has Durmite/Wisdurm using this to evade capture by Luigi.
* The Hare species from ''VideoGame/MonsterRancher'' frequently has "Gas" as one of its special attacks. While it doesn't do much damage, it does decrease Guts quite a bit. They're not the only species to have such an attack--while not explicitly stated to be a "gas attack" [[{{Pun}} (groan)]], the Whirlwind move done by the Garu species does look a little suspicious.
** It's also employed by Apes, which only appear in some of the games. As well as being used by Hare in the anime, though cut from the American dub, in which is was far more powerful.
* The web-based Flash game ''PuzzleFarter''--well, come on, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the title pretty much says it all, doesn't it?]] This one has the "rocket propulsion" brand of flatulence.
* Pey'j in ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'' has a pair of Jet-Boots than run on-- well, I'll let him explain:
-->'''Pey'j:''' They run on home-made bio-carburant. Here's the pocket of pressurized methane... ''(points to seat of pants)'' To fire 'em up, just contract your abdominal muscles!
* ''VideoGame/{{Boogerman}}''. The titular character fights monsters with an arsenal of bodily functions, which of course includes long-range fartillery. After collecting the 'Chili Pepper' powerup, he can also use his flaming flatulence to reach new heights!
* Earthquake on ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' has a fart attack as his special move...
** Namely, it's a grapple. Step one, grab victim's head. Step two, turn so rear is near victim's head. Step three ... Step four, PROFIT (and giggle knowingly). Interestingly, in the second game, he (along with the smaller ninjas Hanzo and Galford) has a duplication technique. For the others, slashing the wrong ninja leaves either a fire (Hanzo) or electricity (Galford) bomb. Earthquake's leaves ... let's call it 'gas'.
** The voice that announces the character at the start of the fight has a thick Japanese accent. It literally pronounces the name as "Ass-quake."
*** Actually, it sounds more like "Aaarse-quake".
* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''
** In some games Kuma (and, by extension, Panda) had the uber-powerful 'Bear Fart' attack. Next-to-zero range and long windup, but if it DOES hit, it's practically an instant knockout. Considering that that means it's potent enough to knock down a one-and-a-half-ton combat robot (Jack), that may just be THE most lethal fart around.
** Likewise [[GuestFighter Gon]] has the less devastating, but still potent "Gon with the Wind"
** Kuma retains the 'Bear Fart' attack as one of his supers in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'', with the only major difference is that it is not an instant knockout like it is in the ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' games. Although Guile (the first ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' character to be "introduced" to the attack) might say otherwise
* The Bile Demons of ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'' fart deadly poison gas as their tertiary (secondary in the sequel) attack.
* In the ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' games, the Congalala uses this as its signature form of offense, and can be troublesome due to it making you too nauseous to use items temporarily if it connects. It even unleashes a giant fart instead of roaring, but it's still loud enough to hurt an unprotected hunter's ears.
** Similarly, the Gravios and its younger form, the Basarios, both have a "gas" attack that looks akin to a plume of flatulence clouding about under their bodies. [[{{Squick}} They even physically clench whilst doing so!]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}: Abe's Exoddus'', Abe can let out a particularly nasty bit of flatuence when he drinks Soulstorm Brew; these farts can be possessed via chanting, moved to a target location and detonated. If left unpossessed, they'll detonate after a few seconds anyway.
* ''VideoGame/{{Sudeki}}'' has the Siege Ogre, whose farts are so deadly they can poison you.
* In ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'', Bo'Rai Cho has this as a [[JustForPun fartality]].
* The ape Chaos from ''VideoGame/PrimalRage'' has a move called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fart of Fury]], shown in the page image.
* Fo Fai from ''VideoGame/BattleArenaToshinden'' has a secret move that does exactly this. It's ''not'' AllThereInTheManual.
** Likewise with the monkey Bay-Hou, his replacement in ''Toshinden 3''.
** "A" secret move? 2 actually. The back-up-front semi-circle command produces a teeny tiny("only" the size of his head) fart with a sound similar to his name(fo). The special button-press move(whose command is revealed after you defeat Gaia) produces the same sound effect, accompanied by a gigantic blasty sound, with a long stream of fiery balls the size of Fo himself.
* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Rampage}} Rampage Through Time]]'', Harley the warthog's special power is called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Boar Butt Blast]].
* Olaf in ''VideoGame/TheLostVikings 2'' uses farts to mini-jump or to elevate himself while gliding. Not to mention destroying the ''brick floors''.
* One of the attacks used by Orange in ''VideoGame/GunstarHeroes''.
* Busuzima from ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'' has a particularly vile throw that incorporates one of these.
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'', Stunky (a [[SmellySkunk skunk]] Pokémon) can learn Flamethrower. It doesn't fire it from its mouth. It can also have the explosive Aftermath ability and learn Explosion, which could presumably originate from the same...area.
** Chimchar, the fire starter from the same game, is an ape with a flaming backside. Its Pokedex entry even indicates that it's "fueled by gas produced in its belly".
** Skuntank from Team Skull in ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky'' teams up with Koffing to do a "stinky gas attack". Skuntank, of course, ''turns around to do this''...
** Skuntank's cry sounds, quite obviously, pretty much like a fart. Same goes for its pre-evolution Stunky. Just a coincidence?
* In the now defunct [[strike:outside Korea]] {{M|assivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame}}MORPG ''VideoGame/{{Dragongem}}'', the thief class can stun enemies with their gas.
* Likewise the thieves in ''VideoGame/{{Dragonica}}'''s second Alpha could use a fart attack to poison them. However it seems, for beta, it has been removed from the class, and given to the Battle Mage.
* A species of flying bugs in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' use the aptly named "Fart" skill, to berserk opponents.
** The Earth Eater BonusBoss from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' looks like it's farting the Flare spell, although it's actually bouncing it off its own auto-reflect. However, it can only do this while its behind is pointing at you.
* In the custom built fighting game ''VideoGame/{{MUGEN}}'', [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] uses farts as a flamethrower (known as the [[FanNickname Anal Torch]]).
** The goblin character Menelikke does the same in his super. There's also the giantess Delilah who, in one of her alternate versions, has a full screen gas attack.
** And there's also Gustavo, whose only attacks are... well, farts.
** One version of [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Ice Man]] accidentally farts as his taunt. Those caught in the cloud will take damage and be stunned.
** Franko Pedalowski by Most Mysterious has a fart as a super. The level 3 version of it has him shitting '''A HUGE TV'''
* In ''VideoGame/BattleChess II: Chinese Chess'', one of the pieces (I believe it is the minister) attacks by turning around, bending over and blasting thier opponent away.
* The Expansion Pack and Sequel Demo of the freeware fighter ''Secret of the 8 Stones'' is based entirely around this. Well, and FetishFuel
** For a more in depth description, "Eight Marbles: Ura Version" (As it's more commonly known) is a fighting game centering around cute, anime-esque girls with lethal and explosive flatulence. Characters range from a skunk girl, to a ninja, to a bug-woman who stores gas in her abdomen, to a young girl whose [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill super attack is a blast of flatulence that can seen from space and changes the background to a foggy wasteland.]]
* In ''Shrek [=SuperSlam=]'', a fighting game based around the ''{{Shrek}}'' series, the title character has a move called "Green Storm", which is a huge fart.
* ''VideoGame/MagiciansQuestMysteriousTimes'' has the weirdest application of "Farts as a weapon", ''ever''. In addition to just causing mischief, you can use the "Flatulence" spell to make ghosts pass gas... and in the process, launch into the air like a rocket, getting rid of them until you leave the screen.
* In ''VideoGame/GUFighter'', a mugen-like system based around forum members, a few attack this way. One has sprite's based off of Tekken Gon and attacks with a green cloud. The second is based off of [[VideoGame/WakuWaku7 Fernandeath]] and attacks by farting out a series of black spheres. Finally is one based on [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Tails]] who has both a projectile and [[GameBreaker instant death]] super.
* In ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'', one of Hakushon Daimaou's supers ends in a fart.
* The [[spoiler: [[RodentsOfUnusualSize Rat King]] and his followers]] in ''LittleKingsStory'' attack this way. Potentially the first [[spoiler: borderline EldritchAbomination]] to have a fart attack.
* The Samnites in the Creator/LucasArts strategy game ''VideoGame/{{Gladius}}'' can learn a skill called, appropriately enough, "Befoul Area". Becomes a GameBreaker when paired with the Executioner's Sword, which instantly kills a damaged enemy -- resulting in a unit that can kill multiple enemies by farting on them. Not so silent... but deadly!
* The first videogame example, way back in 1985. Po-Chin in ''VideoGame/YieArKungFu 2'' is known as the Poison Gas Warrior. There's still argument on whether they're really farts or not, but the sprites certainly look like it.
** It should be noted that the game was on multiple computer systems and consoles. In the most detailed he simply breaths fire, which goes against his name, and the fact he turns around and bends over in the other versions. Make of that what you will.
* Moguralian β attempts to do this in ''VideoGame/UndercoverCops'' when he's about to die.
* Two examples in the [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Prinny series]]. In the first game, the boss Gourmet Ogre uses one as an attack. In the sequel one of the game's powerups let's you do a gas assisted jump to float.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4|A Promise Unforgotten}}'', the Dragon's first skill has it get sent into a sneezing fit by a stray feather that predictably ends with the target getting roasted, only the flames don't come from the dragon's mouth (The attack being called "Break Wind" kind of gives it away, though).
* In a long forgotten game known as ''Slaughter Sport'', you fight a gargoyle name "Guano" who has a said ability...
** It's actually the sequel to an even less known PC game called ''Tongue of the Fat Man'', also known as ''Mondo's Fight Palace''. In it, the Behemoth has a similar attack. Though due to range issues it's far less useful then Guano's.
* In ''VideoGame/StubbsTheZombie'', one of Stubbs' first special attacks he gets is that of an area of effect fart attack that stuns any enemies surrounding him as they gag on the fumes.
* This is one of the orcs' special attacks in ''VideoGame/OrcAttackFlatulentRebellion.''
* In ''VideoGame/LiveALive'', both Pogo and [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Gouri]] have a gas attack.
* Gas coming from pants is a powerup in ''VideoGame/BackyardSports: Rookie Rush''.
* In the action-adventure game ''Bonetown'', almost every special attack is fart-based.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Vay}}'', the fairy Sirufa is subject to a curse of "seismic flatulence" which the protagonists exploit as a means of travel. However, if each party member is not equipped with a Filtration Mask, the [[NonstandardGameOver noxious winds kill them all]].
* Kato & Ken in the PCEngine game ''Kato-chan Ken-chan'' use farting as a weapon. The US {{Bowdlerization}} ''JJ & Jeff'' replaced this with a spray can.
* ''VideoGame/{{Stacking}}'' features the repeated appearances of Meriwether Malodor, a man know for incredible flatulence. In addition to using his gases on their own worth, late game puzzles involve using them to blow up obstacles by lighting them. His fiance, Felicity Fowler, apparently has *flowery* flatulence that can overpower even Meriwether.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}!'' has a [[GasMaskMooks gas mask-wearing stink bug]] in the swamp level that turns around when Bug gets near, and then farts in Bug's face! [[ApologeticAttacker It then apologizes to Bug for doing so]], saying that it just ate.
* In ''VideoGame/FableIII'', while it isn't used as an attack, your character's flatulence is remarkably strong. When you do the fart interaction, there's a brief part of the animation where it appears to blow the NPC away slightly and the animation ends with the other character passing out from the smell.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', Amaterasu has an attack that isn't really flatulence, but ''rather close to it''. There's an enemy in the series called Clay Soldier, who will attack by turning around and blasting you with a fart. They share a moveset with one of the masked enemies in the North, who also uses it.
* {{Woolseyism}} (and censorship) turned Dalton's battle-ending move in ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' into a belch, but in the original Japanese, he's farting.
* In ''RedFaction: Armaggedon'', after completing the game, you can get a weapon called [[MeaningfulName Mr. Toots]], a cute toy {{Unicorn}}... that farts [[DeathRay lethal rainbow-colored beams of horrible death]]! [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHe0S22d1vQ Here.]]
* One of the bosses of ''VideoGame/MiniNinjas'' attacks by fanning clouds of farts towards the players.
* The second boss of ''VideoGame/MakaMaka'', Princess Gourmet, whose only real attack is farting. [[spoiler: It's also the only way to escape her stomach after she eats you!]]
* In ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', if you upgrade the Flashbang grenade to the maximum, it becomes a 'Fart in a Jar', leaving a green cloud that will stun enemies and often make them barf.
* In ''VideoGame/LostKingdoms'', the Hobgoblins have an attack by farting on Katia. If Katia is hit, she will turn green and stop every 2 seconds because of the smell.
* In ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'', Ghom, the demon lord of gluttony, has a gas cloud attack. Okay, it might be a burp, because he has four mouths, but he could have four of something else too. After you defeat him, his corpse subsides with a long, drawn-out, and very rude sound, accompanied by more gas.
* In ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies 2'', the Chili Bean plant gives zombies gas so potent, they actually ''fart themselves to death.'' The noxious cloud also paralyzes any zombies standing behind them in the row and does a small amount of damage to them.
* In ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'', Grand Wizard Cartman and [[PlayerCharacter New Kid]] can do several different types of this both in battle (requiring magic) and outside. Outside of battle, farting at an open flame can result in explosions. Also, enemies that are farted on in (or just before) battle act as if poisoned (or "grossed out" in game terms).
[[folder:Web Comics]]
* In ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', one of the myriad improbable opponents that Dr. [=McNinja=] goes up against is a man whose abs are so incredibly developed that they've transformed into a six-pack jetpack powered by flatulence.
* [[Anime/DragonballZ DBZ]] parody ''Webcomic/ButtlordGT'' centers around Kevin and his son Glutes, both of whom excel in energy attacks expelled from the rectum.
* ''Webcomic/PvP'' features a troll by the name of Skull whose farts are sufficiently noxious to clear rooms, kill plants, and induce hallucinations.
* Baby Man of ''WebComic/AxeCop'' jets around with his.
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' it has yet to be seen "on screen", but [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0651.html this dialogue]] implies that the Monster in the Darkness's farts are quite powerful:
-->'''[=MitD=]:''' That wasn't me this time! They didn't even SERVE baked beans today!\\
'''O-Chul:''' No, friend. I think that earth-shattering sound did not originate in your bowels, for once.
* Dave Johnson's "Flatulene" uses this as its central premise, a heroine with a "brimstone butt". Read the origin story [[http://devilpig.deviantart.com/#/d3dp9yo here]] (Warning: NSFW)
* Ayanah from Webcomic/{{pawn}} was saved from certain death from an undead Eldritch Abomination by accidentally letting one rip in its face.
* In ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' after being reassembled by the "magic cryokit" Doyt/Haban gets the ability to excrete explosives. Among other "secret weapons" (deliberate pun from the cryokit creator).
[[folder:Web Original]]
* In the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'', there's a student codenamed Miasma. Whatever his power is, this is the effect. He doesn't seem to have good control over it, either.
* As quoted above, the WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic review of ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'', the villain [[LargeHam Terl]] stated that the only reason that his race (who in the film are shown to be [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Always]] StupidEvil and TooDumbToLive) only succeeded as galactic conquerors due to their ability to "fart out nukes".
* This is Gravity Cat's main mode of attack in ''TheGmodIdiotBox''. "Gravity Cat Not Amused" indeed.
* The comedy Website/YouTube video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdLCEwEFCMU How To Be Ninja"]], made by Creator/Nigahiga spoofs this with a ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' parody (complete with music!). At the end where it says ''Finish him!'' one of the guys prepares to throw a MegatonPunch at his opponent but instead he turns around and farts on him, sending the loser flying backwards in an [[SpecialEffectFailure obviously fake]] but [[RuleOfFunny hilarious]] manner.
* This [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbqBT1mE9Ts&feature=related hilarious parody]] of ''Literature/{{Dune}}'' on Website/YouTube. The future smells...
* ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQbKAZN3h7A The X-Lax Men]]'', a scatological parody of ''Franchise/XMen''. One scene has literal fartillery in the form of ass-fired mortars.
* In DirtyPotter, [=JK=] Rowling farted so hard that she "arseblasted" Ron to another dimension. [[RuleOfFunny Don't ask why, she's JK Rowling]].
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' episode "Memory Blank", Danny accidently shot an ecto blast out the wrong end. He was still trying to relearn his powers. We got this gem out of Tucker:
--> '''Tucker''': Dude! Watch where you point that thing!
* Billy from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', in a childhood flashback by his father, uses his flatulence as propulsion to win fastest baby races, and somehow was certified as a genius because of this.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''
** In the first episode, Cartman's FartsOnFire were needed to summon the aliens. In a Season 11 episode, Cartman ''injected apple juice into his veins'' to worsen the frequency and potency of his farts as a weapon against a Muslim couple he was demanding information from.
** In the [[ShowWithinAShow Terrance and Phillip]] special "Not Without My Anus", Canada defeats the invasion of Iraq by using their own brand of chemical warfare - mass farting which kills Saddam Hussein.
* In the episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' in which they premiere, the Rowdyruff Boys create a toxic cloud of gas to stop the Powerpuffs.
-->"Good thing we had those burritos for lunch!"
** Likewise in ''Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ'' they use noxious gas to terrorize the audience locked in a TV studio.
* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''
** In one episode, Dexter eats a huge burrito and gets a stomach ache. Thinking he's about to explode, he goes to say goodbye to his parents. His dad tells him to "let 'er rip" -- and he does, with such force that the TV behind him is totally demolished. Dexter's parents are ''aghast''. Not only that, but the pullout shots indicate that the fart is so loud, the ''entire universe'' hears it. The episode irises out on Dexter's butt, just as another literally Earth-shattering stinker is emitted.
* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' has the episode "Jack and the Farting Dragon." [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Need we say more]]?
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''
** One gag shows the Big Bang was the result of God lighting his fart in celebration of beating his roommate at arm wrestling.
** In the Viewer Mail episode, Peter has Chris use his [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinesis]] powers to light a fart, creating a flamethrower-like stream from his butt.
* The titular character from ''WesternAnimation/FleabagMonkeyface'' has farting as one of his two main superpowers, the other one being burping.
* The episode "Silent But Dino" from ''Kung Fu Dino Posse'' centers around [[MeaningfulName Chow]] having foul gas after eating food the BigBad secretly delivered to him. The bad guy later uses all his flatulence to create a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant methane monster]].
** And towards the end of the same episode, Chow is forced to wear a diaper that gets rid of the stench of his gas, but turns it into "environmentally healthy" flames, which come in handy when he has to "fly" and fight the bad guy's minions.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/RoughnecksStarshipTroopersChronicles Roughnecks]]'', the short-lived spinoff of ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' the alien Bugs deploy ''literal'' fartillery. And no, it wasn't a joke.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' ended with Rhinox accidentally destroying the Predacon base this way.
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'': Johnny X's signature Flaming Power Poots.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRippingFriends'' had [[TheVillain Citracet]] become [[MeaningfulName Stinky Butt the Foul]] after visiting [[ItMakesSenseInContext the center of the Earth]]. Oddly he's one of the most powerful foes they've faced, with powers ranging from butt-propelled flight to "[[YouDoNotWantToKnow hot pepper grenades]]" to being able to fart out a sentient mass of stench, eyes, and teeth as his ultimate attack.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' episode "Don't Drink the Water", the younger Ben uses his gas as "Stinkyfly" to defeat some giant plants.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MuchaLucha'', The Flea had this as his signature move.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SkunkFu'', the title character Skunk, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment who is a skunk]], expels green gas from his butt, sometimes to save the day. However, [[YouFailBiologyForever skunks actually]] ''[[ArtisticLicenseBiology spray]]'' a bad smelling chemical rather than really smelly air.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', Fifi La Fume has a similarly off stench mechanism -- she slaps her tail on the ground repeatedly, fanning the otherwise low-mobility gas around the vicinity. Subverted, as it comes from her tail.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Grossology}}'', all of the villain Fartor's powers (and schemes) are based around farting. Including a farting HumongousMecha! Basso Profundo, another villain, uses super-powerful burps.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''
** The title character often farts. Occasionally, they're so potent, they knock people unconscious and in at least one instance actually flew by propelling himself with a giant fart.
** In the blackout episode, Mung was perfectly content of waiting inside a giant blender-like machine with Schnitzel until the power goes back on... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtZhDtwYVkc until Schnitzel's Big Boom Boom Bean toot clouds rolled in.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', Carl's N-Men alias is Belch Boy. His superpower is basically Black Canary's, only with burps. Libby also gets this power in "League of Villains" when they all end up with the wrong powers.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' episode "Relics of Demons Past", the writers give Jade a [[{{Gasshole}} belching habit]] for the sole purpose of infusing her with Wind Demon Chi and making her burps conjure up nasty windstorms. After the episode, it's never [[{{Pun}} brought up]] again.
* Similar to the ''Jimmy Neutron'' example, in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' the group decides to make a superhero cartoon of themselves. When asked what super power he'd like, [[TheBigGuy Bufford]] gives a deep speech on the psychological ramifications of a person's thoughts on superpowers. And then immediately chooses Belchman.

Walker's got a fast-talking, bad-rapping approach that's definitely rooted in the party record scene of the 60s – yet which is also turned here to deliver a bit more social commentary – maybe a bit of Bill Cosby wit filtered in to clean things up, as Walker turns his talents to 70s society on both sides of the tracks. Plenty of great stuff to sample here, including "The Black Prince Has Arrived" and "Show Biz", a good bit on blacksploitation films – and other titles include "The Apollo", "Suburbia", "Caucasians & Other White Folks", and "The Ghetto".

Raising Money-Wise Kids
Oprah.com | July 10, 2007
From designer jeans to high-tech phones, kids today are bombarded with messages urging them toward consumerism. Jean talks to psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz about how parents can teach their children financial responsibility.
Dr. Saltz says she sees several reasons to be concerned about kids and consumerism. "There's a perfect storm of increasing media, recognition of [the teenage] market and competitive parenting," she says. While advertisers are getting smarter about marketing to adolescents, Dr. Saltz says parents are choosing to be their children's friends rather than their parents. "Parents are trying to be cool because they're afraid of losing their kids' love," she says. "Kids have lots of friends. They don't need friends—they need parents."
According to Dr. Saltz, it's important for kids to know the value of work. "You want to instill the idea that you have to work hard for things," she says. "There are also going to be disappointments in life, so you have to build in resilience to cope with disappointment."
Dr. Saltz says the best thing parents can do is to
do everything for their children. "At times, disappoint them, frustrate them, limit them," she says. "It doesn't mean be a meanie. It means tell them they're a terrific, lovable person with talents and abilities, but without work, it turns into nothing. They have to work hard for what they want in life—everybody does."

Last week, New York Times writer Nate Chinen picked up on the emergence of the new site behearer.com, an interactive database devoted to jazz made between 1970 and 1989.
"What jazz?" some say. Received wisdom usually dismisses the period as a bad time for the music; many good players were believed to have either taken the money and run toward the burgeoning jazz-funk scene or turned it down and retired into abstract experimentation - and that was assumed to be pretty much it until Wynton Marsalis and neo-classicism arrived.
But behearer.com (appropriately named after an album by a fine jazz creator of that era, the late saxophonist Dewey Redman) proves that account wrong in the most direct way possible - by listing hundreds of fascinating records made in the period, and inviting enthusiasts to contribute their own favourites. It's mostly an unembroidered discography at the moment, but - given the remarkable way it was born - that's unlikely to be the case for long.
Trumpeter Dave Douglas, one of the most creative player/composers on the international scene, seems to have unintentionally sparked the Behearer phenomenon - in the process reflecting the jazz-like collective spontaneity of the web. Inspired by historian Philip Jenkins's book Decade of Nightmares: The End of the Sixties and the Making of Eighties America, Douglas claimed that the conservative political backlash against 1960s idealism had a spin-off in "demonisation of musicians who pushed the boundaries", and the rewriting of jazz history involving them. Douglas then challenged jazz writers to "take on the project of an unbiased overview of music since the end of the Vietnam War".
Nobody went for that one, but pianist Ethan Iverson of The Bad Plus had an answer of his own. ("We're the crazy ones, aren't we?" Iverson the indefatigable record collector said to me in The Guardian in June: "We always want to slake that thirst for the stuff most people don't know exists.") Offering the opposite of Douglas's "unbiased overview", Iverson posted 5000 enthusiastic words and a catalogue of hundreds of albums on his blog. Within two days, he was swamped with feedback from all over the globe. Time Out New York's classical music editor Steve Smith soon did the same.
The outcome has been Behearer.com, kicked off by Boston-based saxophonist Pat Donaher with a starting list of 500-odd albums (at ), and now administered as an interactive site by volunteers, like many projects in the most inventive corners of jazz.
Though its emphasis is inevitably American, the cutting-edge Europeans of the period do get a look in. Guitarist Derek Bailey is there, exiled South African composer Chris McGregor, Dutch improv artists Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink, the emerging Evan Parker and Jan Garbarek, the re-emerging Stan Tracey, the late John Stevens's Spontaneous Music Ensemble, and more. All fearlessly creative figures, they were mostly known only to a handful of inquisitive buffs in the period Behearer deals with. Now they're legends, whose early work is venerated, and whose pioneering records change hands for big money, too.
In his original blog, Douglas made a plea for "the generation of multiplicity" finally to get its due.
"Multiplicity" is the key word, and it may help explain why the 70s was such a black hole for informed jazz commentary about all the fascinating stuff that was really going on. Taking their lead from the American free-jazz movement of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor and others, jazz musicians around the world realised they could make their own music, with their own local materials, without necessarily having to copy the licks off a Blue Note hard-bop album - or off a John Coltrane album, for that matter.
The result was an explosion of new music, but one that many established jazz commentators didn't recognise as jazz at all or consider it part of their brief to cover. Lucky enough to learn from the few that did, that was where I, and a growing band of like-minded writer-fans (including the Guardian's Richard Williams, former Wire editor Richard Cook, journalist/broadcaster Brian Morton and others) came in. Now, liberated by the internet, the story finally begins to take its proper place in the cultural history of the late 20th century. Not for the first time, Dave Douglas has made a big difference.

TN DCS Out Of Compliance In Several Areas
The Tennessee Department of Children's Services has fallen out of compliance in several of the areas the federal court uses to measure its performance. DCS has been under federal supervision since 2001, when the court found serious problems with its treatment of foster care children. At a hearing yesterday, U.S. District Judge Todd Campbell asked when that supervision might end.
Neither side was able to answer. However, attorneys for both DCS and the children expressed optimism about the department's new leadership. Jim Henry became DCS Commissioner after Kate O'Day resigned in February. Her resignation followed a public outcry over problems that included not knowing how many of the children the agency was supposed to be helping had died. Yesterday's hearing focused on the department's 2012 performance, before Henry took over.

Thread: My Dual 29 gal Aquarium Journal
Thanks! I have to finish this one, build the second stand and the canopy, which will have 1 frame with 2 removable tops like my 75 gal. I didn't want a heavy cabinet look for the stands, so I have a unique idea for finishing the front and sides. I have decided to invest in Rena XP2s (M) and inline heaters for these 2 tanks and I need to make the stand cat-proof, but accessible thru the front. In my head my idea will work - hope it does in reality!

0Really awesome, I give you a lot of credit... I don't think my building skills are up to the challenge of doing stands!
0In for DIY and pictures!
0For goodness sakes, you just built a sump, which is way more difficult than this stand! I love to build things, but I think a sump would be a bit more than I could handle. Plumbing is not my forte!
My dad built our house single handed and he and my brother built my brother's house. At that time (1964 - oops, I just dated myself), I was just old enough to help. My husband (God rest his soul) and I gutted the 2nd floor of our first house (a brick Cape Cod), removed walls on the first floor and redid the whole thing. I stick to smaller projects now. I love going to Menard's and figuring out how I will put something together. Did I mention, I LOVE Menard's!My Dual 29gal Aquarium Journal - a work in progress

0+ 1 for your carpentry skills, my Grandfather was a carpenter by trade and my Dad handed down a few skills to me. I always admire people who can "do it themselves".
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. ― John Wooden
Sandy Hook Elementary......Lest We Forget
0All the wood is pine, #2 Better grade stock. It's a little bit more expensive, but much better than construction grade. I use #8, 2-1/2 inch Spax stainless steel wood-to-wood screws, 45 screws per box. I get them at Menard's. The screws cost as much as the wood! You don't have to use SS - I do because they won't rust. Wood cost for the 29 gal stand - $20.52, screws $22.00 and I need a few more! There will be 112 screws in this stand.
I haven't done any more work on the stand as it's been so hot here (Slaphppy7, I can see your "you don't know what hot is" expression!). Yesterday is was 97, today and tomorrow to be even hotter. I need to hand cut the corner leg supports and don't want to do it in the house. This weekend should be much cooler and I can hopefully finish the stand (except for paint).
If anyone is interested in building this stand and would like the cut lengths for the wood, let me know your exact tank size and the height of the tank (measure from the bottom of the tank to the floor). Also, whether you are using a plywood top and styrofoam or just stryofoam (I would need the thickness measurement of each). You should use styrofoam between the stand and the tank to prevent pressure on the bottom glass from any imperfections or unevenness in the wood. You don't have to use the plywood top, as the tank frame is supported entirely by the 2x6 rectangle.Last edited by gronlaura; 07-18-2013 at 07:07 PM.

0I discovered this thread thanks to Slaphppy's thread on canister filters which turned into a discussion on stands. You are both inspiring me to try my hand at my own stand!
I have only basic experience working with wood, though. I would need to have Home Depot cut ALL the pieces for me. My concern is that you mentioned having to hand-cut each of the 8 outside legs to make sure the stand is perfectly level. I don't have the tools or experience to do that (I am more of an electrical guy!). Was that simply because your floor is not level? If my floor is perfectly level (which it is -- i just checked!) and I ask Home Depot to cut the 8 legs to precisely the same length, would I have to worry? Is their cutting precise enough, or will I get pieces of wood that are all off by a fraction of an inch, resulting in a stand that is not level and stable? I feel I can only attempt this if I can rely on Home Depot cutting the wood with enough precision so that I won't have to cut anything at home.
0You would still want to wait to cut those 8 pieces. I am cutting them myself because they are 8 different lengths and I want to fit them as I go. The guy at my Home Depot did a great job cutting all the other pieces. Assemble and level the stand where it will go. Then measure the 8 corner pieces (between the 2x6 rectangles). If your floor is level, they should all be pretty much the same. Talk to your Home Depot person - they should be able to do accurate cuts. It's better if they are a hair long, but they can't be short. You can always use a very coarse grit sand paper to shorten them a bit, if needed.

In 1969, the Boss 302 was offered in four colors only - Bright Yellow, Wimbledon White, Calypso Coral (orange), and Acapulco Blue. The '12 Boss 302 follows that theme by restricting exterior selection to five colors, four of them similar to '69 - Yellow Blaze, Performance White, Competition Orange, and Kona Blue - plus Race Red. While street '69 Boss 302s got black reflective C-stripes, the '12 Boss comes with either black (non-reflective, unfortunately) or white C-stripes, along with matching roof panel, that are coordinated to the exterior paint.
The original Boss 302 was one of the first street Mustangs to take advantage of aerodynamics with its front spoiler and optional rear wing. For '12, the concept is updated with a modern-style front splitter designed to manage air flow under and around the car to reduce underbody drag and front end lift while also forcing air into the Boss-specific cooling system. At the rear, a carefully selected spoiler complements the front aero treatment to minimize drag.
"We were looking for reduced overall lift with improved balance," says Pericak. "The end result is an aero package that uses front, rear, and underbody treatments-not for show but for effect."
Inside, the unique Boss steering wheel is covered with Alcantara suede to complement the cloth-trimmed seats with their suede-like center inserts that help to keep occupants in place during hard cornering. Recaro seats are optional. Boss 302s also get a dark metallic instrument panel and door panel finish, 9,000-rpm tachometer, and "Powered by Ford" door sill plates.
Something Special According to Pericak, the Mustang team wanted to offer enthusiasts something special with the '12 Boss 302. "It's a beautifully balanced, factory-built race car that can be driven on the street," Pericak says. "The Boss 302 isn't something that a Mustang GT owner can buy all the parts for out of a catalog or a tuner can get by adding a chip. This is a front-to-back re-engineered Mustang with every system designed to make a good driver great and a great driver even better."

Comments about Raxxess Studio Cable Depot Wall Mount:
This is the cheapest, wall mount cable organizer I have ever found. Only wich some slots were wider for larger cables.
Comments about Raxxess Studio Cable Depot Wall Mount:
This isn't the greatest cable holder in the world but I'm sure it's not the worst either. It works well for short cables but if you want to mount longer cables without having them dangle to the ground you have to get a little creative. Also remember that if you want to get to a cable that's in the back, you have to take out all the cables in front of it to get to the one you want.This product is ok. Just ok. We have one at the venue I work at and we rarely use it because it's such a hassle.

Found June 22, 2013 on
As the homicide investigation surrounding Aaron Hernandez continues, a slightly related -- but largely more innocuous -- discovery has been made.
His dogs live in style.
On Saturday, Massachusetts state police officers -- both uniformed and plainclothes -- and a K-9 unit probed in and around the house of the Patriots' embattled tight end. One of the reporters on scene, Kevin Armstrong of the New York Daily News, revealed via Twitter a picture of Hernandez's enormous doghouse.
The two-story (really?) doghouse sits in the backyard of Hernandez's North Attleboro mansion, which has been the subject of investigation since one of Hernandez's "associates" was recently murdered.
It's unclear what lucky dog inhabits the digs, but he/she may have to share for the time being.

Stuart Quandelacy-2 Sided Maiden Necklace-Fabulous
Zuni artist Stuart Quandelacy made this fascinating necklace. He has used a beautiful shell that has an amazing array of colors. A Corn Maiden is decorated with a rainbow of kernel colors and has a inlaid Sunface on the feather fan. The other side of the shell pendant is a Zuni Maiden dressed with a traditional belt with other inlay highlights. Stuart has hung the reversible Maiden from olive heishe that is decorated with coral, turquoise, and small pieces of shell. I have never seen anything like this be worn before and can't begin to imagine the admiring looks and conversations this very unique piece of handmade art will create, enjoy.

Investment Tournaments: When Should a Rational Agent Put All Eggs in One Basket?
We study "investment tournaments," a class of decisionproblems involving gradual allocation of investment among severalalternatives whose values are subject to shocks. The decision maker'spayoff is determined by the final values of the alternatives. An important example of such tournaments is the career choice problem, since a person typically starts by investing in learning several professions.We show that in many cases it is optimal for the decision maker to allocate all resources to the most promising alternative in each time period. We also show that in promotion tournaments the workers optimally exert higher efforts at an early stage in order to capture a larger share of employer's investment, such as mentoring.
