From India: Is Farting a Sport?

Whoa.  5 seconds in fart time is hecka long time.  This is a clear demonstration of athletic skill. Most folks can't produce farts of that duration.  Ergo, sufficient proof that farting is a sport.

It might have only been two or three seconds, but it was the longest fart I ever heard. Folks were talking about it during the post-mortems. “I’d hate to be that guy. Hahaha.”

Something smells funny about the thread here

I wonder if this holds true for hi-stakes poker games as well?

Farting often enough at a hi-stakes poker game  could become a smell, I mean, tell.

farting is originated in india they say

Really?  They (the Indians) say that?  There's currently a viral thread about how chess originated in India with many Indian commenters indignant that any other country would make that claim. 

Now they are claiming that farting originated in India too?  Well okay, if they want India to be known as the fart country, I certainly am not going to argue with them.

if India invented flatulence, then they could have a right to make that claim.

Do you think the claim that India invented farting is full of hot air?

it’s hard to say, they do worship cows and oversized women.

The immediate roots are in the Middle English

not India . And yes , Chess originated in India 

I nearly puked when another guy farted during a poker game. He was very proud of himself when his fart sent me running outside.

Yeah they (indians) say that.. Everything on earth is originated in india. Because they are the best you know lol

India is a great chess country, no doubt about that.

The great Viking Magnus Carlsen himself saw the huge popularity chess has in India when went to Chennai in 2013 and defeated the legendary Vishy Anand for the World Chess Championship.

But Norway is many times bigger than India in both land size and population so Magnus had that going for him.

Norway is bigger than India in land size and population ? India is the 7th largest and 2nd most populated ( after China ) 

this is not the thread you are looking for, i think.

someone’s confussed

Ooops, you're right!  A typo.  Comparing the size of Norway to India...  India squashes Norway.  Wow, for Magnus to come to India and defeat Vishy Anand was like David versus Goliath in the Bible.

Or perhaps Magnus was like the Roman Julius Caesar who simply said, "Veni, Vidi, Vici" after he won in Vishy's hometown of Chennai.  (Latin for "I came, I saw, I conquered").
