Talk:Le Pétomane

message: The current reference 4 adds to the definite statement that his death was in 1945 with the added explanation that someone said it was "right after the allied landings".  The reference explains that that meant just after June 6 (D-Day) which would pin down the date of death closer than just the year.  Unfortunately, D-Day was in 1943, so one or the other is wrong.

message: I don't presume to know the trade secrets of professional farting, but it seems that the following sentence presumes too much:
:He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to break wind at will.
Wouldn't the pelvic muscles would be more important for his skill than abdominal control?  Does anyone have any cites? Alki 23:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Say how much that is today, and also say how much in today's US$. Jidanni 10:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Kind of a childish question, I know, but I am curious to know if any audio recordings have survived or have been made - was his act considered too vulgar to be recorded onto wax, or was this considered a harmless enough novelty to have been recorded at least once?--24.90.252.208 (talk) 14:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Haha, I have to admit I too was curious - there's definitely an immitator "Mr Lefires" out there in 1904 on vinyl, but as for genuine Pugol, according to this website "Apparently, a cylinder recording of Le Pétomane's "entertainment" was made, and is a great rarity." Whether it still exists is difficult to say. Bob talk 15:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Any recordings?

message: Since these do not concern M. Pugol directly I hesitate to mention them. Perhaps I can have an opinion as to their relevance before I waste time checking for exact details.
1. There is a reference to farting music in Joyce Cary's 'The Horse's Mouth'
2. A main character in the Spanish film 'The Tit And The Moon' is a circus performer who farts, accompanied by a band.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fleapit (talk • contribs) 12:01, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: They're not really relevant to Mr Pugol's article, but I believe there is an article on the refined art of being a flatulist. Bob talk 12:32, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The Legacy section has an entry [with no source] that says 
:"Le Petomane is also a character in the novel The Great Abraham Lincoln Pocket Watch Conspiracy by Jacopo della Quercia. and a nearly identical recording horn. "
What does that mean?  To what or whom, and how, is the recording horn "nearly identical"? - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:ea01:1090:4829:e296:6801:e91c (talk) 10:35, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
