Blow It Out Yer...

Not one, but TWO stories on this subject. WTF???

Butt Breathing May Soon Be A Real Medical Treatment

A research team that previously won the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Physiology for discovering that mammals can breathe through their anus has released promising new findings on the potential medical use of this method in humans. Commonly referred to as “butt breathing,” the technique could one day offer an alternative treatment for patients suffering from severe respiratory failure.

First Human Trial Proves Breathing Through Your Butt is Safe

Take a deep breath, hold it in… Exhale.

Now do the same thing through your butt.

Well, you obviously can’t do that, because your lungs are hooked up to a different orifice. However, a recent scientific breakthrough has demonstrated that breathing through your booty is not only possible, but safe.

Butt breathing doesn’t involve drawing air in through your back door, however. Instead, it works by pumping an oxygen-rich liquid solution into the intestines.

Still, we’ve entered a brave new era for humanity. We can now not only talk out of our asses, but breathe through them too.

Man Found with Thermos Bottle Inside Body After Arrest in Polk County

As part of the jail intake process, Frymire underwent a body scan — standard procedure to prevent weapons or contraband from entering the facility. It was during this scan that deputies observed a thermos bottle lodged inside his body.

“He brought a thermos into jail. That’s right — he put it in the exit ramp,” Sheriff Judd explained, using his typical blunt tone. Frymire allegedly told deputies the thermos bottle had been inserted approximately 24 hours prior but clarified he had not swallowed it.

Ouch. Why?!?

It's Halloween Week

Haunted Car Wash Trend Surges Nationwide as Halloween Approaches

Halloween season is driving in new business for car washes across the country, thanks to a growing trend: the haunted car wash. Locations like Fast Splash Car Wash in Detroit are turning routine vehicle cleanings into immersive horror experiences complete with clowns, chainsaws, and strobe lights.

Visitors to these haunted car washes remain in their vehicles as actors in costume approach, tapping windows, yanking at door handles, and delivering frights between sprays of soap and spinning brushes. For many, the eerie atmosphere stirs childhood memories of being uneasy during a standard car wash – now amplified with Halloween theatrics.

***

While no official data exists on the economic impact of haunted car washes, the International Carwash Association notes that offering a “memorable or differentiated wash experience” is considered “very important” by the majority of car wash businesses.

For many operators, the haunted car wash is not just a seasonal gimmick – it’s a creative way to attract new customers, boost revenue, and stay top-of-mind in their communities during the competitive Halloween season.
