Stupid & Funny from Around the World

What's the oldest joke ever recorded? It comes from ancient Sumeria around 1900 BC.

Etched onto a clay tablet, the proverb humorously observes: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."

It seems some things about human nature never really change.

Airplane cabins are not pressurized to normal sea-level air pressure. Instead, most flights keep the cabin at the equivalent of about 5,000–8,000 feet above sea level. At this lower pressure, any gas in closed spaces of the body, including your intestines, expands by roughly 25–30%.

Doctors explain that this pressure drop increases the volume of intestinal gas, raising “the amount of potential flatus,” and makes people pass more gas. So yes, because cabin air pressure is lower, it’s physically normal to feel gassier and fart more often on a plane
