The Fart Lamp

Little open-flame safety lamp for bathroom duty

You finish your business in the water closet, when suddenly you are gripped with the realization that there's still a bit of a damp hum in the air. No problemo: you simply reach out to the little lamp on the wall or the sink, press a button, and, like a cigarette lighter that simply stays on as you release, it removes remaining methane odor from local atmosphere then shuts itself off. Perhaps not as efficiently as a negative ion generator, perhaps not as cheaply as free paper matches, but stylishly. Disadvantage: Your friends will all want to test it.

       We call those things 'candles'. When the wax is exhausted, it even turns itself off. The on switch is optionally removable for use in also turning on barbecue grills and cigarettes.

       Yes, yes, a candle--but, see, this has the advantage of being a <ital>gizmo.<ital>

       How disappointing I clicked on this one, thinking that it was going to be an invention for a fart-*powered* lamp. :-)

       Yeah... fart lamps are one thing, but what about fart clocks!? Just keep the custard to a minimum.

       Fart clocks? What about the atomic fart clock?

       I envisioned a lava like lamp, with bubbles that would ignite when they reach the top.
