The article failed to mention some important facts about the "Thunder Pants". It is endorsed by most enviromental groups as another step towards curbing Global Warming. The pants come with a Methane Air Converter (MAC) that connects to the pants. The "Bowel Emitted Gas" (BAG) then is converted into clean fresh air. The air is stored in a small container and shipped to one of several locations where it is released in areas where Spotted Owls reside.
For those with rather large bottoms should order the size designated as (BIG). Be sure if you have to order the (BIG) size, mark the form in the special order area as (BIG MAC BAG). I hope this has be helpful.
