Job 33:28

A few much needed facts from an email I received recently:
A duck's quack doesn't echo,
and no one knows why.
Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.
(I keep my toothbrush in the living room now!)

And the best for last.....
Turtles can breathe through their butts.

Wow, my emails must seem really lame by comparison! I'll try harder...OK, How's this?...There was once a man with the same talent as the turtles named Joseph Pujol, who went by "Le Petomane" (which is French for "the Fartist") who did a stage act where he could pass gas at will; The secret being, of course, that he could inhale through his posterior, because at the end of his act, he would sit in a tank of water and suck all the water out through his butt and then run off the stage-very quickly. By accounts of those who saw his act, including comedian Billy Connelly, it was the funniest comedy act ever on a stage. He died in 1945, but I would LOVE to see a film of him performing if such a thing exists.

Perhaps you heard of him while in Paris. :0D
