When is Carbon Fart day, so we can calculate the size of our fart?

Here you go...

Your Carbon Belch:
Your one-day Carbon Belch has been calculated at: 3341 pounds of CO2.
Nice job! (The average American's belch is 41 pounds.)


Thanks to you, we have calculated a cumulative total of 109,553,505 pounds of CO2 set to be released on Carbon Belch Day.

The good news is I sell carbon offsets. They sell for $1.39 a pound, but for DAC forum members I will give a 20% discount. PM me for my mailing address to send checks. I also will take PayPal. Minimum 100 pound purchase. Just think about how you will contribution to improving the environment by purchasing Tupi carbon offsets.

While Carbon Fart Day is still being debated, ongoing tests are producing some positive results for humans and animals to create alternative fuel sources.

Nice.

I have 64 pounds CO2, what do I reduce? I recycle, have all renewable energy house, and only drive 5 miles on a bus...

Who in the heck does more to reduce their carbon fart than that? Certainly not the average american...

49! I'm gutted - I'll obviously have to switch this computer off more often.

I have to admit, I liked the question

'Go boating'

Well, yes, I do, but I ROW, so, I put, no, unless they mean when I fart


I don't even drive, loosely on medical grounds. I suppose that when I take the train, all that leccy in the catenary must contribute something. 25 Kv you know, so I'd guess so!

Oh yes and don't get me started on the BU*ES!! If there was transport in hell, then it would have to be a BUS!!

At least I get it free though.

GO COWS!!

You do realise don't you that that cow picture would make a really great avatar!

I like the fact that it has it's tongue out as if to say

'Ha ha, look at you!!'.

I think people will answer yes to everything to see how high they can get it to go just for fun.



As for beer - I've been cutting back on my ale consuption of late. And I was never stupid enough to start smoking at school.

Hi Jo-Anne,

Sorry I was a bad student and didn't take the test. When I saw your topic and Tupo's first reply, I started laughing. A laugh well needed.

Steve ... there's nothing like a great laugh when life is becoming negative and just too damn serious!, when people are pissing you off, etc.

Sometimes it's great to just sit back and watch a really goofy/immature/sexual innuendo comedy movie and laugh your head off!

Jo

Steve ... I almost fell off my chair laughing while watching that footage from Dumb And Dumber. Hilarious movie! Jim Carrey is awesome - same with Mike Myers (Austin Powers). How ironic, both Toronto guys! Must be something in the water here. Some really nutty movies that make me laugh also - Porky's, Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, Police Academy, Scary Movie (my favourite is part 2), Hot Shots, Spy Hard, etc. Could go on and on here!

Jo

Jo-Anne,

Some of the best actors, actresses and bands have come from Canada. To be sure, I've truly enjoyed their performances over the years.

Athough not a comedy, 'Narrow Margin' (1989) was one of the best modern day thrillers I've seen. The lead star for the movie's setting goes to the suspenseful train ride in Canada's beautiful coastal mountains of Vancouver. Must see movie.
