Giant dinosaurs could have warmed the planet with their flatulence, say researchers.
British scientists have calculated the methane output of sauropods, including the species known as Brontosaurus.
By scaling up the digestive wind of cows, they estimate that the population of dinosaurs - as a whole - produced 520 million tonnes of gas annually.
They suggest the gas could have been a key factor in the warm climate 150 million years ago.
David Wilkinson from Liverpool John Moore's University, and colleagues from the University of London and the University of Glasgow published their

The so called boffins of science say that the Earth was heated by dino farts.
The animals also belch out one tonne of methane each per year, making the herd one of the country's major carbon emitters.

Govt Set To Make Farting A Crime
February 1, 2011, Lilongwe, Malawi....
In one of the strangest legislation I have ever heard, not to mention highly impractical, one country is determined to make farting a crime by law.

According to Mailonline, the government's reason for even wanting such gibberish into law?
