    The Paint roller.  They are used every single day around the world by thousands of people.
    There still is no "National Paint roller Day."  Boggles me mind.

    With beano there will be no gas.  It is indispensable in my profession.

    Zipper fly. Would help if they designed a skin shield feature somehow.  This post was edited by Kittigate at September 11, 2017 9:16 AM MDT

    Farts.  It is God's invention but imagine if we didn't have them?

    Listen up.   Imagine the gas building  inside the body and not escaping.  What world would there even be?

    Would make it easier to be a suicide bomber. Just need a fuse sticking out your butt.

    Now wait a minute . . . 

    "Climate scientists" tell us that bovine methane output is a major contributor to "climate change", a "problem" created by humankind with their bloodlust for meat. And now you say that flatulation is God's invention, not humankind's. How do you square that contradiction in your assertion?

    Cute, but a different argument.

    I highly doubt if methane is the evil that you try and say they say it is.  But have at it.  The point of farming is not just the cow or the gas but the insane amount of cost versus feeding, slaughtering etc., so you can have a silly hamburger that will probably contribute to some disease in your body eventually.
    I mean let's really get off on a silly tangent for no reason.

    Hey, It's not ME that says it's an evil. It's all the "global climate change" soothsayers that condemn it. But don't take my word for it (not that you would . . . ) Have a look here. These folks think that it's much, MUCH worse that that evil CO2.

    And it's not a different argument just because you say it is. In fact, the only way it's a "silly tangent" is if you consider your entire diatribe about flatulence to be a "silly tangent"; and it is that as well as being a feeble attempt at "grade school" humor . . .
