Hundeprutterutchebane
Hundeprutterutchebane (Danish for "Dog-Fart Roller Coaster") is a steel family roller coaster at BonBon-Land in southern Zealand, Denmark, approximately from Copenhagen. The rollercoaster is well known for its name and its unique dog-flatulence-related theme. It is a good example of flatulence humor. History and theme Hundeprutterutchebane was the first coaster to open at BonBon-Land in 1993. BonBon-Land was opened in 1992 by a candy maker that manufactured disgusting-sounding candy flavors. Hundeprutter ("Dog Farts") was one of the most popular flavors and consequently became the theme for the first coaster at the park. Built by Zierer, the coaster layout is a relatively simple family coaster, and it is the park's smallest roller coaster. The coaster trains are designed in the shape of a dog named "Henry Dog Fart", and the dog theme is pervasive throughout the coaster's course. Riders go past a statue of a defecating Henry the Dog, through a kennel, and past bones and piles of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flatulence Humor
Flatulence humor, or Rude humour (more commonly known as fart humor) refers to any type of joke, practical joke device, or other off-color humor related to flatulence. History Although it is likely that flatulence humor has long been considered funny in cultures that consider the public passing of gas impolite, such jokes are rarely recorded. It's been suggested that one of the oldest recorded jokes was a flatulence joke from the Sumerians that has been dated to 1,900 BC. Two important early texts are the 5th century BC plays ''The Knights'' and ''The Clouds'', both by Aristophanes, which contain numerous fart jokes. Another example from classical times appeared in '' Apocolocyntosis'' or ''The Pumpkinification of Claudius'', a satire attributed to Seneca on the late Roman emperor: He later explains he got to the afterlife with a quote from Homer: Archeologist Warwick Ball asserts that the Roman Emperor Elagabalus played practical jokes on his guests, employing a wh ...

BonBon-Land
BonBon-Land is a Danish amusement park located in Holme-Olstrup in the South of Zealand, about 100 km from Copenhagen. This 34-acre park attracts about 450,000 each season. History The history of the theme park Bon Bon Land dates back to when the Danish sweets boiler Michael Spangsberg began to produce candies with names that children would find funny, like 'mågeklatter' (Seagull Droppings) 'hundeprutter' (Dog Farts) and 'tissebleer' (Pee Diapers). The candies became popular early on, and children wanted to visit the factory in Holme Olstrup (a small Danish town in the countryside). However, the factory couldn’t offer visiting tours because of strict hygiene regulations, so Michael Spangsberg opened the Bonbon-Land theme park. In 1992, the theme park opened with a mini candy factory, a cinema, a shop, and four small boats shaped like ducks located in a small pond. The park was a success with children, and many rides and attractions have been added over the years. Bonbo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flatulence
Flatulence, in humans, is the expulsion of gas from the intestines via the anus, commonly referred to as farting. "Flatus" is the medical word for gas generated in the stomach or bowels. A proportion of intestinal gas may be swallowed environmental air, and hence flatus is not entirely generated in the stomach or bowels. The scientific study of this area of medicine is termed flatology. Flatus is brought to the rectum and pressurized by muscles in the intestines. It is normal to pass flatus ("to fart"), though volume and frequency vary greatly among individuals. It is also normal for intestinal gas to have a feculent or unpleasant odor, which may be intense. The noise commonly associated with flatulence (" blowing a raspberry") is produced by the anus and buttocks, which act together in a manner similar to that of an embouchure. Both the sound and odor are sources of embarrassment, annoyance or amusement ( flatulence humor). There are several general symptoms related ...

Arrow Dynamics first introduced the steel roller coaster to feature tubular track to the thrill industry with their creations of the Matterhorn Bobsleds (Disneyland) in 1959 and the Runaway Mine Train (Six Flags Over Texas) in 1966.
