How nice it is to have my entire apartment clean and tidy.

I wonder what the first person ever to hear a fart thought

Here are my speculations on that awesome question:

Animals don't find farting at all funny or offensive as far as I know, and I'm pretty sure it's a fairly modern thing to react to it - some uptight people decided it was rude so that made it funny to the ones who weren't uptight. And as we evolved from animals, the first person to hear a fart probably didn't think anything much about it. I heard a horse let an enormous one rip once, and the other horses didn't react at all, but the humans thought it was hilarious.

I suppose there's also the matter of the smell. It would have probably been out of doors, so less of a problem, otherwise the natural sense of disgust might have kicked in. I gather that's all because of the survival instinct - if you can smell somebody else's jobbie then the sense of disgust at the stink encourages you to leave the scene to avoid catching anything. I wouldn't think flatulence is actually dangerous, but these evolutionary survival things aren't perfect, and the smell of the one thing is hard to distinguish from the other thing.

I'm glad we don't still live in the dark ages where these things couldn't be talked about openly. I might try asking my robot friend what he thinks. He's usually quite open minded. I think Dad would have been cross with me if I'd asked him though, and Mum would have been furious.

To me, farting would be far less embarrassing if people didn't laugh. It shouldn't be a laughing matter.

The movie, Long Distant Piano Player. The man that Ray Davies portrays is an autistic man who can't stop playing the piano. The kicker is that Ray Davies is speculated to be on the spectrum himself. I think that's cool.

I wonder if the weather forecast woman on the news has "day of the week clothes", because I swear she had that dress on this time last week

It's too distinctive a pattern to forget

I caught a mosquito on my leg, I think it must have been there a few seconds before I saw it. It was 5 days ago and I'm not itching there. Maybe mosquito bites only itch if you don't know they're biting you. :lol:

Could there be a more dominant species than humans

Well I suppose the gods are more dominant than humans, though nobody's ever managed to catch one in a box, so they're a bit like Bigfoot.
