Energy (funny)

Heard this at the office today:

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.(Hardly seems worth it.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)

Re: Energy (funny)

If you waited to start farting until you yelled a couple years, and then continued both, you could have coffee with your bomb.

That's why I put the "(funny)" in the title...hard to get people's attention for this serious matter.

Re: Energy (funny)

Wasn't there some research that concluded that one of the major factors in the increasing amount of green-house gases was from "bovine emissions"?

Yes, you are right the bovine metan-gas emissions are one of the major factors of green house effect.This is seriuos! I used for a research I had to write about the environmental impact of fast food chains. You google and you'll find it (if I remeber the study was my the statal environment agency of the US, forgot the actual name, wrote this research 5 years ago).
