1. James Joyce thought farts were sexy.
"I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere,” the author wrote in December 1909 of his muse. “I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women."
2. Gerald Ford would blame his farts on the Secret Service.
The 38th president would turn to his Secret Service agents and loudly proclaim things like ”Jesus, was that you? Show some class!” instead of owning up to his own farts. He clearly never heard “whoever smelt it, dealt it.”
3. Sometimes flatulence isn’t actually from digestion.
According to a 1942 medical paper, people often attribute gas to indigestion, when it may be something else entirely. The author writes:
The chronic belcher is swallowing air because he is nervous or frightened; the woman who bloats may have only an angioneurotic edema of her bowel; the man who feels as if he had gas in his stomach may have only a duodenal ulcer or constipation, and the man who is passing much flatus may only be chewing gum and swallowing much air with the saliva.
4. “The magical fruit" probably doesn't really make you toot any more than other foods.
A 2011 study found that most people do not fart more if they eat more beans. While a sudden increase in bean intake may cause some flatulence for a few people, it normalizes over time [PDF].

Do you change your litter regularly? Really. The multi-cat extra clumpy is your friend.
I'm sitting on 4 pounds of it.
It's the only way my wife will allow me in the house.

You ought to try the "lite' brand. It's easier to haul around and does just as good a job.
