Jokes aside, I make my browser make a click when an external object is loaded and when a page starts and finishes loading. This audible enforcement is very helpful during development and to "hear" which sites are sneaking in external calls without bringing up firebug, etc.

Such a good idea! Thanks for sharing

The sounds are included directly in the JS, which is pretty neat: https://github.com/theonion/fartscroll.js/blob/master/fartsc...

And in ogg as well as mp3, to boot. Settling once and for all the great question which of these two codecs is more efficient at encoding flatulence.

It's because Firefox doesn't support mp3 via the HTML5 tag due to licensing IIRC. IE supports mp3 but not ogg. Chrome supports both.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You could call this brilliant advertising: Those laughing now are most likely to be males between the ages of 12 and 34. :)

If I stop laughing at fart sounds when I'm 35, it'll be because I'm dead.

43 and still laughing. Teaching my 6-year-old to make the sounds. All is well.
