POPSFieldguide to Flatulence Farts are measured using Linton’s Flatulence Scale, or LFS. This scale ranges from a one, which is little to no odor, to a ten, which can result in loss of any house plants or animals, hair loss, blindness, instant nausea and vomiting, and mild to severe skin rashes. The noise that farts cause can be measured using a Fart Decibel System (FDS) that, like the LFS, falls within a range of one to ten. The rating of one would be given to and fart that results in a sound of a pin drop or less, and the designation of ten would be equivalent on a semi truck air horn. The following categories refer to strictly to the amount of noise produced by any particular fart and does not relate to it magnitude.

If something breaks our first instinct is to throw it away and buy it new, instead of trying to fix it. But even if we wanted to fix it, manufacturers have made it difficult for us to repair, re-use or upgrade our stuff. Mr. Jalopy urges technology companies to create forums for consumers to share ideas, and pushes car companies to sell patterns so people can create accessories like seat covers....he wants companies to make schematics readily available so consumers can fix and re-imagine the objects they buy.
