Posted April 10, 201411 yr This is rather funny. Apparently we eat too many baked beans in the UK, causing too much farting, hence gas emissions. :lol: A hereditary peer has asked the government if it takes into account flatulence caused by baked beans in its climate-change calculations. Labour peer Viscount Simon, 73, raised concerns about the "smelly emissions" resulting from the UK's unusually high consumption of baked beans. He put energy and climate change minister Baroness Verma on the spot during the government's daily question session in the upper chamber. She said his question was "different". His comments came as energy minister Baroness Verma answered questions in the House of Lords on how the government was tackling climate change. Lord Simon said: "In a programme some months ago on the BBC it was stated that this country has the largest production of baked beans and the largest consumption of baked beans in the world." To laughter from peers, he added: "Could the noble baroness say whether this affects the calculation of global warming by the government as a result of the smelly emission resulting there from?"
April 10, 201411 yr There was a report recently saying that a portion of baked beans helps with the cholesterol level.
April 10, 201411 yr One plus point, you will probably walk a bit quicker as you can use the passing wind as a human version of a jet engine.
April 10, 201411 yr Why is this in News and Politics? We're apparently more lenient than the Lounge mods, who got sick of this crap even faster.
