BBC News - Malawi row over whether new law bans farting
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12363852
The Local Courts Bill, to be introduced next week reads: “Any person who vitiates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the public to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.”
Mr Chaponda, a trained lawyer, insists that this includes farting.
