Don’t see why they had to make such a big stink over it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we suggest that you keep your seat belt fastened throughout the flight, as we may experience flatulence."

 

[Mythopoeika]

I suspect that the individual may have been extravagant with it, totally unapolagetic and enjoyed their reactions. That would make me react angrily TBH.

Yeah, that would provoke me too.

I wonder why the pilot didn't deploy the Emergency Fart Protection system.

I'd like to meet neither type of animal!

The leopards get shot!

I imagine they'll import some rhinos to kill the leopards.

 

[Shady]

tis a shame, they are beautiful creatures, not like humans

Humans can be ok if you train and feed them regularly. ... and you can always make a lampshade from the pelt if things don't work out.

I highly-recommend listening to the programme, I heard it live, and was most-impressed. The relative percentage proportions are matters for debate and interpretation (and form a part of that show's presentation). But we are undoubtedly all symbiotes, that is beyond doubt. When we cease to be colonised by appropriate bacteria, we die swiftly afterwards. Cleanliness is next to deadliness.

No idea if that turtle is real but i want one
