Scientists have proven once again that they might have a little too much time on their hands by answering once and for all how many farts it would take to create an atomic bomb.

16. A Rose By Any Other Name

We might often fall back on the favourites when talking about flatulence, primarily ‘fart’, but there are more ways to call a spade a spade.
