Lateral thinking
I would think that small animals would be able to produce ultrasonic farts, because of small size, resonant cavities and structures, etc. Has this been investigated?
In a development whose scientific importance would be difficult to exaggerate, it has been discovered that hawk moths emit powerful ultrasonic pulse beams from their genitals in order to intefere with the sonar senses of predatory bats hunting them. As any fule kno, bats emit high-frequency sound pulses when hunting in …

I remember it always having a "registered with the post office as a news paper" message on it somewhere. (Not sure why it registered with the post office, but surely I couldn't have made that up.....)
There was a time ("double decker found on moon") when it was actually quite funny, before it just became the cheapest and least graphic of the grot mags....
I have only ever read it the once back in the 90s - found a copy in my dad's mag rack! I remember thinking "I have never seen so many adverts for sex lines outside of Soho phone boxes!"
I was also reminded of the Sport earlier this week watching the DVD of Bottom Live and seeing Eddie "reading" it!
Because IIRC there was a lower postage rate for printed stuff that was registered as a newspaper with the good old PO - you just had to put "printed paper - reduced rate" on the address and ensure that there was enough sticking out of the wrapper (usually rolled up) to be checked. As it was cheaper than letter rate, slipping a few pages of correspondence between the pages was not unknown ...
But that was a long, long time ago.
I figure it must have been more of a poorly defined feature request type thing.
- We need something to stop bats from eating us.
: How do you want to do that?
- I don't know dammit, you're supposed to be the tech guy. Figure it out.
: Ok... We can get something out for the next generation, but it'll probably be bollocks.
- Whatever, just do it.
This particular term is used in a number of Japanese Manga / Anime series, notably Blood: The Last Vampire, for vampire-type creatures - no doubt because of the link between bats and vampires in many branches of vampire lore.
So, based on some of the previous comments, we have to ask whether this discovery going to lead to the creation of a new vampire myth - that playing with yourself will protect you from becoming a tasty snack for nocturnal visitors of the fanged persuasion? :p
