University of Salford Tests Enormous Whoopee Cushion for Science (The One)

The One

I'm no scientist, but I'm guessing that the people over at the University of Salford are doing some really next-level, groundbreaking research in the field of farty lols, because they've built a few enormous whoopee cushions in order to test whether or not size impacts the fart that a cushion emits. Genius.

I know these things are supposed to stop being funny roughly around the time you turn eight, but this is for research. It's serious business! So don't worry if a giggle slips out while you're watching.

We're all mature adults over here. Scientists.

I love a good whoopee cushion, but that wasn't even remotely funny!! They did it in a bare room with horrible acoustics so they sounded like popping balloons not farts, and for the huge one, why not just launch yourself on to it, not gingerly laying down on the cushion. LAME!!!!

Correct! Put it an everyday room and drop Oprah Winfrey on it from above to get that fast, ripping fart sound that is cherished by everyone.

How much was spent on this project? I wonder who's budget this came out of? Is this the University of Salford's way of making a contribution to mankind?

Ah, the fall of western civilization summed up in this experiment continues...last I heard, Standford was a public funded university...I guess the professors need someting to do after the rest of the nation lost confidence in their clueless liberal slants and rants.... good to know you can still find them getting back to teaching our fine young kids ground breaking topics like this...lol....morons...

Hey Bonedaddy, instead of trying to be so critical of things, try taking that time and read the article again. It was the University of Salford which is in England. Which means you can join them since they're always looking for good morons. Or bad ones for that matter...

It sucked. Too much noise in an empty room......these guys are morons! The one actually doing the "cushion" looked like a robot! Wish I could find a stupid job like that!!
