[edit] Pronunciation
How do you pronounce it?
Pay-tau-man (tau as the greek letter)
- Except that τ has at least two pronunciations. I think the one for here is "taw" (w/o the protraction/drawl my engineering prof always gave it).
- Offhand, I'd say the name had something to do with "ptomaine"...'at's what I'd all this time thought Brooks was referring to =( Kwantus 03:22, 2005 Jan 18 (UTC)
[edit] Riot
How am I "un-citing a riot"? I added information to this page, and it was deleted because it was not cited. I cited a source, but it wasn't reputable enough. I went to a library and looked the information up in two reputable sources, and added the information, along with citing the sources under further reading, and still it was deleted...what more is necessary to add accurate information to Wikipedia? 24.159.244.244, 07:27, 16 December 2005
- I'm sorry, it was way too late at night and I missed your citation. I have reverted my reversion. If others choose to challenge those sources' credibility, that's up to them. Wahkeenah 07:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- "Einstein's Refrigerator" is hardly a "reputable source" -- it's an incredibly dramatic account. I haven't been able to find a copy of the "RE/Search" work, but their website doesn't fill me with confidence in their ability to turn out scholarly works. --Carnildo 20:32, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- That's what I was afraid of. Well, have your <<delete>> key locked and loaded. Wahkeenah 20:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the guy who wrote this was talking out of their ass.--Mobius Soul 23:11, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Control of abdominal muscles" correct?
I don't presume to know the trade secrets of professional farting, but it seems that the following sentence presumes too much:
- He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to break wind at will.
Wouldn't the pelvic muscles would be more important for his skill than abdominal control? Does anyone have any cites? Alki 23:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
