He calls himself Mr Methane, and his singular skill is to augment a series of well-known musical pieces by breaking wind in the style of the famous 19th-century French vaudevillian Le Pétomane [color="DimGray"] [Wikipedia][/color].....they love him on Japanese TV where he smoked a cigarette in a manner never contemplated by Humphrey Bogart, and he has regularly broken wind on Howard Stern's radio show in the US. "Flatulence is very much the international language," he says...more...

Absolutely correct. That's William S. Burrough's "Talking Asshole" routine from Naked Lunch as portrayed in the movie.

Edit: It's too bad I can't seem to find the bit that follows this routine in the book. Burrough's comments on how the popularity of these talking assholes in movies and tv reveal the basic rottenness in society. I can't believe this is a real act, right on par with "Ow My Balls!"

Rotten-egg smell of farts could help battle heart disease and Alzheimer's

The thought may make your stomach churn, but scientists claim that the gas which makes farts smell of rotten eggs could be used to help tackle conditions including diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

The gas behind the putrid stench which is present in both offensive-smelling flatulence and rotten eggs is known as hydrogen sulphide, and is highly toxic in large quantities.

But researchers claim that if dosed correctly, the gas can help tackle diabetes, strokes, heart attacks and dementia.

Professor Matt Whiteman, of the University of Exeter Medical School, explained that when cells become stressed by disease they produce tiny quantities of hydrogen sulphide. This is because the gas helps sustain mitochondria, the powerhouse of a cell, and in turn keep the cell alive. If this process does not happen, the cells die.

[...]

Professors Whiteman and Wood are now working towards advancing the research to a stage where it can be tested in humans.

Any volunteers?!?
