Okay, this thread has degraded so far that even I can contribute! A friend of mine in New Zealand, professes to be trying to fart negative "stink radicals" (A.K.A. negative farticles, in the common press). His theory is that if he can fart negative stink radicals he can, with proper balance, negate the smell of positive radicals - just by taking a dump! Then again, who knows what kind of energy might be released when the two farticles annihilate one another?! Could this be the source of 'dark matter'?
