  I'm rather disappointed in Time, not sure I'll give them anymore of mine....I'm a wildlife enthusiast, and to think they would choose something that fueled the wild fire flames and destroyed so many feathered and furry friends homes...excuse me, but I'm too upset..I can't write any

  Well, bloggers have revealed that ALL of Time's editorial staff are DAILY air users, so I guess we know where their loyaties lie.

  This shows just how stupid some people are. Air is not A gas but a mixture of gases. Oxygen and Nitrogen mainly, with a little argon and carbon dioxide thrown in for good measure.

  I heard a rumor that Bush was pushing for the fart molecule. You may have read earlier that this fine person takes pride in his ability to fart at will. He takes pleasure in releasing one of these to disconcert those with whom he is shaking hands for the first time. No doubt he will be disappointed that Karl Rove could not arrange to have this award presented especially to Bush and all other farts everywhere.

  Actually the eskimo does cut a hole in the ice and surrounds it with frozen peas in order to catch the polar bear. When the polar bear comes over to take a pea they kick it in the ice hole.

  I think Air was a good choice, ketchup was ridiculous, and Nitrous Oxide was just a laugh,

  I kid you not!!

  Here in New Zealand our government introduced a Fart Tax, for the farmers because cows are too flatulent and we have an ozone hole problem.

  What they didn't count on was the backlash and it was quickly rescinded.

  We here don't just say as funny as a fart

  we say as funny as a fart tax!

  Don't believe me Google. New Zealand Fart Tax

  It's sad but oh so funny.
