Spaw's still alive, isn't he?

No, I'm sorry......Spaw passed on several months ago. I am the residual spirit of Spaw in the form of a huge methane cloud he left behind. Unlike Spaw though who could play a D chord. I can only play in minor keys.....I do have one killer D minor though!

>>The dinosaur output of 520 million tons (472 million tonnes) is comparable to current natural and man-made emissions of the greenhouse gas, which scientists say is around 21 times more powerful than CO2 at trapping heat on Earth and causing climate change. Cows and other farm animals globally contribute up to 100 million tons (90 million tonnes) a year of methane.<<<

This is certainly a feather in the YEC camp. Modern animals fart in archaic everywhere but the USA British measurements (tons) and supposedly more primitive dinosaurs farted in the newer metric system (tonnes).

So the 7,000,000,000 people currently living on our little planet would each need to produce 148 pounds of methane annually to equal the output calculated by the professor for the dinosaurs?

Of course allowing for the 108 tons per year produced by our cattle (according to the report) about 100 pounds per person (per year) would suffice.

Although estimates for the production of methane from "natural sources" such as volcanos, wildfires, dead fish in the streams, et. al. is considered "uncertain" the commonly used numbers say that these sources produce about 4 times as much as the cattle, so we're significantly "over budget" even if no person on the planet ever farts again.

Obviously we have no further need of Spaw, since your elderly maiden aunt Tillie's last (very discrete) "prp" should be sufficient to cause our complete and total extinction - about next week(?).

My elderly maiden Aunt Tillie died in 1965. I don't think she's produced much of anything since, oh, 1970 or so.

We need to review the ranking criteria from "The Farting Contest."

As I recall, "If you shit, you're disqualified."

Up in Montana, were a lot of dinosaur carcasses have been found, it has just been discovered that a flatulent dinosaur, propelled by her or his own "propulsion unit", downed a UFO. There is solid evidence that the crew was rescued, but they left their garbage behind and humanity seems to have evolved from that.

Fie, man, fie!
I saw Stegosaurus stagger through the door,
Who's the fool now?
