Verily I say unto thee, that Chris Ahlstrom spake thusly:
> A brief quote:
>
> Are there twenty Men in Europe at this Day, the happier, or even the
> easier, for any Knowledge they have pick'd out of Aristotle? What
> Comfort can the Vortices of Descartes give to a Man who has
> Whirlwinds in his Bowels! The Knowledge of Newton's mutual
> Attraction of the Particles of Matter, can it afford Ease to him who
> is rack'd by their mutual Repulsion, and the cruel Distensions it
> occasions? The Pleasure arising to a few Philosophers, from seeing,
> a few Times in their Life, the Threads of Light untwisted, and
> separated by the Newtonian Prism into seven Colours, can it be
> compared with the Ease and Comfort every Man living might feel seven
> times a Day, by discharging freely the Wind from his Bowels?
Seldom has the art of farting been so eloquently expounded.
