I think this shows that, for some things, computers just can't improve on the original. Computers can't address the process of craft. It's the satisfaction of the creative process - of making something yourself - that all our technology simply can't replicate.

Reminds me a little of pieceofshit.net, another excretion-related site.

I wonder how they did it, though -- do they really build the sound on the fly, or do they just have a ton of different variations stored on the server.

Ah, I love it when a site like this is rediscovered. Time to send some farts, to let my friends know that I haven't forgotten them.
