I would set up asshole so that people fart famous arias. Like can you imagine if you fart out Diva Song from the 5th Element or Queen of the Night by Mozart or even Ave Diarrhea?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Shrink the brain, ditch the opposable thumb, limit lifespan to twenty four.
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Eyes that are, and stay, 20/20. I have been wearing glasses for over 50 years. While I am used to them, I would love to not need them.

Okay, that one hit. We'd be better musicians if we had better throughput. The best music any of us has ever heard is already just at or just over our bandwidth.
