I think that user is trolling. Your answers were topical and thorough, but I don't think you'll go to hell for leaving gassy jack to his own methane-fuelled devices. Personally I'm through with her/him. Anchoress 23:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Ref desk The Onion
Sometimes papers in non-English speaking countries will reprint content from The Onion, especially stories showing how evil/corrupt/foolish Americans are, but always with a slight tone of puzzlement. Parody and hoax are a wonderful thing: I once read of a hoax, probably in the 1700's,consisting of a paid announcement, published in a newspaper, which stated that at a certain time on a certain hilltop outside of town, a gentleman wearing formal wear, complete with boots and a tophat, would jump into an ordinary small-necked one pint bottle, of the sort vinegar is sold in, such that he would be completely contained inside the bottle. Everyone knew that it was a hoax, and that it was impossible, but a large crowd still showed up. I would have showed up myself, just to see him make the attempt. But alas, eventually it dawned upon the crowd that they had been hoodwinked. While I was in college, there were TV commercials wherein the "Bayer aspirin man" would answer questions from a supposed audience like "What pain reliever do doctors recommend most?" So some anonymous person put up posters announcing that at a specified time and place, the Bayer Aspirin Man would appear to answer all their questions about non-prescription pain relievers. Even knowing the overwhelming probability that it was a hoax, on the appointed evening, reporters from the college paper and a roomful of people showed up. Edison 18:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
