Le Petomane ...
... was a French musical hall artiste who amused audiences (including the crowned heads of Europe) for many years by producing music from his bottom. I guess he ate a lot of beans. Perhaps, in the words of a lewd poem vaguely remembered from my youth 'He could fart anything from "God save the King" to Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"'

Good old Adam Hart-Davies - not only a source of interesting engineering and dietary facts but a cyclist too :) An inspiration to we vegetarian trouser coughers everywhere.

Bowel Bugle
Geoff's comment reminds me of a song about passing wind that was often sung in the beer tent at Sealed Knot musters when I was a member some years ago. It had a chorus that went something like this:–
I've farted, I've farted,
I've made a trouser cough,
I've whistled in my knickers,
Oh, I've just peeled one off.
I've blown my bowel bugle
’Coz I've been eating peas,
I've broken wind, I've dropped my guts,
Open the window, please!

The Air About Beans
As the weather is getting cool and we begin cooking more bean dishes such as chili, it is worthwhile to suggest, as the cooking expert in the article states, that rinsing beans reduces the resultant flatulence tremendously.
If you soak your dried beans, say overnight, rinse them VERY WELL in cold water afterwards. Why this should be so hard to believe is troublesome, mostly because it works. Even with canned beans, rinsing them well will also produce this desired reduction of gas.
Love may be all we need, but many of us only know it by its shadow.
