Re: Turtle butt-breathing

I had a roomie in college who could "suck farts."

He'd do a Yogie Berra "downward dog" position and move his abdomen somehow...could fart endlessly and with gusto--until the other three of us beat on him still-laughingly for waking us all up at 3a.
The real reason insane asylums were invented.

A superpower like that, and the character should be named Bombardier.

The bombardier beetle actually uses a chemical reaction to make enough heat in its gut to vaporize contents and send out explosive farts to dissuade predators. It apparently works pretty well. I mean, I'd be dissuaded.

Come to think of it, your friend probably could've been a successful wrestler using that talent skill ability. How many people would be willing to stay on a mat with him in close quarters?
