A PLUMBER from England has taken his love of the sound of flatulence to a new level by creating a 4.8m high farting machine.
His aim? Sending the noise of a fart over the Strait of Dover to France - a distance of 33.8km.
Colin Furze created the fart machine - which resembles a giant pair of bum cheeks - with a pulse-jet engine.
A large crowd gathered to witness Mr Furze fire up the jet thruster and unleash the noise, reported the Kent Online.
The jet thruster is believed to be similar to the ones used in V-1 flying bombs during World War II by the Nazis.
Does this man have too much time on his hands? Of course he does. No-one should waste time building giant bum shaped farting machines. They should spend their time at the pub or writing on forums like this instead. What's the world coming to?
