Farting fish instigate Norway/Russia problem


And then science steps up to solve the mystery of the submarines that weren't there with their discovery (wait for it) that fish fart. For their work the biologist get wined, dined, and recognized with the Nobel award in Biology.



"The prizes, which are an antidote to more serious Nobels, reward research that makes people laugh, then think (www.improbable.com). They are announced at Harvard University, Massachusetts in front of a 1200 strong audience. Bob Batty and Larry Dill attended the ceremony to pick up their prize."

Birds gotta fly, bees gotta buzz, fish gotta fart

Funny - brought back memories of travelling in a VW on a cold winter day with two boys who just discovered the joys of having a fart contest in the back seat.
