Frankly, Catspaw, I'm not sure what flatulence has to do with folk music, except that there are a lot of old farts playing it. But I do think this thread's a gas, and quite thought-provoking. If this natural resource could be harnessed, one might not only have his baked beans, but be provided with a cheap source of cooking them. Cattle who must be housed during long stretches of freezing weather might be utilized to heat their own lodgings. Long haul truckdrivers could power their vehicles by refueling at Taco Bell instead of Exxon. I think that you should use your influence at the Neil Young Center to create a grant to study this emerging technology, Catspaw.
