Guy builds biggest fart machine ever, plans to fart at France with it

http://sploid.gizmodo.com/guy-builds-the-biggest-fart-machine-ever-1608988402/+ericlimer

Colin Furze wants to build a giant butt and fart at France from Dover. That's why he has built the biggest valveless pulse jet machine ever—these engines powered the Nazi V-1 bombs that terrified London during WW2 making an infernal noise that sounds like a furious fart from hell.

Now that the engine is done he's actually going to build a gigantic butt, install the machine in its anus, put the whole thingamajig on the cliffs of Dover, point it at France, and fart on July 24—around 6-7pm local time—to see if the frenchies at the other side of the channel can hear it.

a few hundred pounds of cow dung.

What's a gigantic fart without a bit of splatter?

A music-hall performer named Le Petomane did just that. If the name sounds familiar, it's probably because the makers of Blazing Saddles chose to honor him with the bogus "Le Petomane Thruway".

This is an English arse, and as such should be trumping out English patriotic songs...

God Save The Queen
Rule Britannia
Land of Hope & Glory

That sort of thing. Something to keep UKIP voters on the South Coast from complaining about the smell.

The governor, William J. Le Petomane, was named after the performer.

Now, has anyone got a dime?

.....to talk out of their arses. They seem quite good at that.

Mind you, the same can also be said for most of our politicians as well.
