Grant Hayes On Ancient China


    Tathagata Buddha, the Farter Buddha, said: "With our farts we make the world!" Pictured is an excerpt from the classic Wi-Pu-Bang (Dung Dynasty). Here we see Bum Wind masters demonstrating Rat-Fart, Dead-Tree-Fart, and the very rarely attained Old-Man-Fart.
It is said of the Bum Wind master Pu-Wei that with only five grains of rice for fuel, he could fart out a seven-tiered iron pagoda. In the time it took for the shrine-bell to toll once and fade to silence, Master Pu-Wei would then emit the shapeless Dragon-Fart, which would sweep away the pagoda in an instant, leaving only five grains of rice. In this way, Pu-Wei showed that all things are a passing wind...

Meanwhile, At The Vatican


Maria had never been so totally embarrassed. An angry young woman was shooing her away and calling her a "grotesque nude midget," and another woman  was appealing to the almighty to strike her down dead! Moreover,  when Antonio had dared her to go streaking with him at the Pope's benediction she wasn't expecting he would jump over a wall! This really wasn't fun at all!
