Ah yes, farting is very funny.

The oldest joke we have a record of as a species is a fart joke. This is my favorite factoid of all time, maybe ever.

Fun fact: Norman Mailer coined the word factoid in 1973. He wrote:

"[Factoids are] facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper, creations which are not so much lies as a product to manipulate emotion in the Silent Majority."

In other words, a factoid is a clickbait "alternative" fact.
