O. Zhuravleva- In Moscow, 21 hours and almost 4 minutes, this is Nevzor Wednesday, my name is Olga Zhuravleva. And Alexander Nevzorov greets us from St. Petersburg.
A. Nevzorov- Olenka, hello!
O. Zhuravleva- Hey.
A. Nevzorov- Dymarsky is nearby, who wants to talk about the event at Helvetia.
O. Zhuravleva- Vitaly Dymarsky, good evening.
Are there scratches on the car? Remove them yourself in minutes! Don't waste money...
V. Dymarsky- Good evening, we always start with our events.
A. Nevzorov- Yes. And they have an interesting event.
V. Dymarsky- "Amateur Readings".
A. Nevzorov- "Amateur Readings" with a very interesting and, I would say, strong, one of the strongest to date ...
V. Dymarsky- Anti-utopians.
A. Nevzorov- Anti-utopians and in general, as it were, quite even publicists.
V. Dymarsky- Well, yes. This is Dmitry Glukhovsky here tomorrow at Helvetia at 7 pm. Still available.
O. Zhuravleva- Do you still have tickets?
V. Dymarsky- A little, but there is.
A. Nevzorov- It makes sense to listen to him, and it makes sense to talk about him, and talk to him.
Let's go.
O. Zhuravleva- Let's talk to you.
A. Nevzorov- Yes.
V. Dymarsky- Let's. What about dystopias? You are in Moscow.
O. Zhuravleva- In Moscow, as you know, there is a dispute over renovations, but we will probably return to them a little later, right? It happens to you in St. Petersburg too.
V. Dymarsky- We have not a single five-story building in St. Petersburg ...
A. Nevzorov- Yes, of course, but with us it’s all much more noble and without all this Moscow rudeness, without Moscow’s stupid scale and rapture with the possibility of legally mocking people and in this way too.
O. Zhuravleva- Listen, but Putin said that he would never sign any decree if the rights of people are not fully respected there. Putin is a bunny.
A. Nevzorov No, he's not a bunny...
V. Dymarsky- He's not a bunny, he's an angel.
A. Nevzorov: In the presence of their superiors, their brains turn off, that is, they work only with their backs and only in a bend Q tweet
O. Zhuravleva- He's an angel, yes, sorry.
A. Nevzorov- Good. But here is Vladimir Vladimirovich, he still trusts excessively to people who, probably, should not be trusted, because even in this story with the angel, in general, they managed to somehow put Vladimir Vladimirovich in a very wrong way. After all, it is clear that in the presence of superiors, the brain of associate professors turns off, that is, they work only with their backs and only in a bend. And so they somehow forgot to tell him when he heard about the fact that ...
V. Dymarsky“…that he is an angel?”
A. Nevzorov“No, he didn’t hear, he saw…
O. Zhuravleva How an angel fights the devil.
A. Nevzorov- Yes. Film of the Geographical Society, and immediately applied all this to himself, calling himself an angel. Unfortunately, no one explained to him that the sea angel is, besides the fact that it is, excuse me, a gastropod mollusk ...
O. Zhuravleva- Yes, I noticed it.
A. Nevzorov- It's also a hermaphrodite, Olya, right?
O. Zhuravleva- O…
A. Nevzorov- Yes. Moreover, it is the sea angels, which is the most offensive and foul in this story, that toothless pygmy whales, as well as blue whales, feed on. True, the only thing that, perhaps, allows the head of the state to compare himself with such a creature is that the sea angel really eats very picturesquely, I must say, yes. He manages to shove such keratinized chitinous processes into the shell of this very monkfish and scratch out this devil for a long, long time, when he just gets tired of this whole vile procedure of scratching and snatching it away from him piece by piece, and he crawls right into the mouth opening of the so-called angel.
V. Dymarsky- Alexander Glebovich, let's reassure our listeners - this is not yet behavior.
A. Nevzorov- No, it's not behavior yet.
O. Zhuravleva- But you, by the way, offended the docents in vain, as you say.
A. Nevzorov- Why?
O. Zhuravleva“Because maybe it was so special, it was a subtle hint. Everything that you describe can be attributed to Vladimir Vladimirovich and is rather non-complementary.
A. Nevzorov- Well, I don’t know, at least here I had to be more careful, and Vladimir Vladimirovich didn’t have to pick up this story with an angel and a devil so happily. Therefore, let's not raise it to some criteria, to some, let's say, estimated values of everything, so let's talk about Khrushchev a little later.
O. Zhuravleva- Come on, okay.
A. Nevzorov“Yes, we have a lot of things besides that, interesting and maybe not so bleeding. We recently had an assault on the Reichstag.
V. Dymarsky“It’s fighting, isn’t it bleeding like that?” What are you?
O. Zhuravleva- Okay, this is a reenactment.
A. Nevzorov- It was a fight between cotton wool and plywood. That's what it was.
V. Dymarsky- No blood.
A. Nevzorov- No, well, someone's noses were bloodied there, good stuntmen worked there, but since everyone understood the conventionality and some bastardity, let's say, of actions, they worked, as they say, almost without a twinkle and did not give much. And everything was decided only by a huge crowd and that cool, calm attitude, attitude as to reconstruction, attitude as to something decorative - well, here is a kind of ritual of sacrificing plywood buildings, as a sacrifice to the God of Victory. But I would say that almost all those participating there were already, to put it mildly, atheists.
O. Zhuravleva- Tell me, Alexander Glebovich, would you like to participate in such an event as a stuntman? So that Shoigu admires you from the podium?
V. Dymarsky And if so, on whose side?
O. Zhuravleva- By the way!
A. Nevzorov- As always - the question of price.
O. Zhuravleva- Oh, that's it!
A. Nevzorov- Yes, absolutely right.
V. Dymarsky- Would you stand up for the Reichstag?
A. Nevzorov: Uncle Zyu will be happy to irrigate himself with the "Smell of Ilyich" and will be popular Q tweet
A. Nevzorov- Not.
V. Dymarsky- In reconstruction, of course.
A. Nevzorov- Of course not. I don’t do reconstructions at all and I don’t really understand why they are needed. Moreover, I believe that this is one of the most ridiculous varieties of lies and lies, because really, under the guise of history, we are offered as history its dried, polished, perfumed version, a surrogate that it never was, because everything that happened then was, of course, a billion times more monstrous, a billion times more extreme and far from being so victorious, beautiful, heroic and necessary, because, after all, we know that this unfortunate Rechstag and Berlin were taken precisely in order to meet certain dates, that tens and hundreds of thousands of people were packed so that, God forbid, the British or Americans would not come there. Therefore, everything is not so simple at all, and I would refrain from all these cult events altogether.
V. Dymarsky- No matter how cynical it sounds, but, in my opinion, from the point of view of such purely financial costs, it was cheaper, in my opinion, then it was worth it than now.
A. Nevzorov- Maybe.
V. Dymarsky- Now it is a third of a billion dollars ...
A. Nevzorov“Perhaps, yes, we don’t know how much we sawed off from it yet. But, by the way, this is no longer our business, it happened, and Russia's insane passion for window dressing was to some extent satisfied for some time.
O. Zhuravleva- But tell me, Alexander Glebovich, also about the passion for window dressing and about the attitude to history. In connection with Lenin's birthday, the topic of the mausoleum arose again - to close, open, bury ... What should be done here?
A. Nevzorov- And you know, here you need to calculate how much it costs to maintain this luxurious dead house, and if there are people who are ready to invest in it, if there are people who can put money on a barrel so that all this continues to exist in this form, so let it be. In general, this is a goldmine. After all, in the same place, in this mausoleum, you can arrange luxurious shows, right? Well, a nerve-trickling show: "Night with Ilyich", right?
V. Dymarsky- Corporates.
O. Zhuravleva- You can sell magnets with Ilyich there.
A. Nevzorov- It can be taken to corporate parties. You can take him to GUM, where he would work as a mannequin for the latest collection, there, Dolce & Gabbana. It would be possible to publish perfumes, to produce perfumes - you remember “The Smell of Ilyich” from the Soviet era.
O. Zhuravleva- And the soap "In Lenin's places", yes, of course.
A. Nevzorov- Yes. No, if there are such spirits, then we will be able to recognize the communists by smell.
O. Zhuravleva“Many of them already recognize them.
A. Nevzorov- Uncle Zyu with great pleasure will irrigate himself with the “Smell of Ilyich” and will be even more popular with himself ...
V. Dymarsky- But tell me, you are a big fan of all sorts of scientific things, but in this whole operation to save Ilyich, is there some kind of scientific component?
A. Nevzorov- There is a very large scientific component, but everything that could be milked from this story, everything that could be learned, has already been learned. In addition, as you yourself understand, Vladimir Ilyich lies in the mausoleum, being absolutely brainless.
O. Zhuravleva“Of course, the brain is stored elsewhere.
A. Nevzorov- It is not stored, it was a long time ago ...
V. Dymarsky- Withdrawn.
A. Nevzorov- It has long been divided into many micropreparations, according to him it was back in the days of Sarkisov, the then director of the Institute of the Brain. In general, Karl Vogt, who was invited by the Bolsheviks, started it all, and then the neuromorphologists who studied Lenin's brain had the task of finding something extraordinary in Lenin's brain that distinguishes this brain from the brain of other people.
V. Dymarsky- Did you find it?
A. Nevzorov“No, they didn’t find it absolutely, and they couldn’t find it, because, well, there is no correlation between giftedness, between aptitudes, and between anatomy and even microanatomy. Does not exist.
V. Dymarsky- But the famous St. Petersburg Bekhterev clinic was engaged in the brain, yes, now the Chernihiv clinic is engaged in the brain.
A. Nevzorov- As for Chernigovskaya, understand, here you are, for example, a physicist, right?
V. Dymarsky- Well, just for example.
A. Nevzorov- For example. And you take physics seriously, you already know that the propagator is not only a seedling box, you can use the wave function. Here you open a book that says that Einstein is a fool, that gravity is a Jewish fiction, and the Earth is flat.
That is, Chernigovskaya, and all these, let's say, current trends, including Savelyev, this is already such a parascience after all, these are what are called alternative scientists who have moved away from Einstein's theory, the theory of brain physiology, this is Pavlov's theory, this is the theory of conditioned reflexes, and which, in general, are funny, but do not deserve serious discussion.
V. Dymarsky- I will invite Chernigovskaya to answer you.
A. Nevzorov: There is a kind of show business called the Russian Orthodox Church, they play their role-playing games Q tweet
A. Nevzorov- Let those who are able to pay for this fun, pay for it, or it's time to stop all this fun.
V. Dymarsky- I think that it can be combined, you can take not the Reichstag, but the mausoleum.
A. Nevzorov- Can.
O. Zhuravleva- I beg your pardon, Alexander Glebovich, this question has actually seriously occupied me for a long time, and every time when officials begin to say that this issue can be discussed when it is not such an acute topic, when Lenin's body can cause a split. And what, is it really that such a huge number of people in the country still revere Vladimir Ilyich? I have a feeling that a huge mass of the population no longer even knows who it is. Where does this idea come from that the burial of Lenin can cause a social explosion, a split and other disasters? What do you think?
A. Nevzorov- I do not know.
O. Zhuravleva“Maybe they’re just all old already?”
A. Nevzorov I suspect it's fantasy. Maybe there they will really shake their shopping bags and beat a few pensioners with earflaps on the pavement of Red Square, but nothing will happen in connection with this. And most importantly, it’s not necessary, really, if there is an opportunity to make money on this story and open it to someone, there, JSC “Mausoleum”, then let them open it. And there is no need to interfere with this business, the only question is to whom it will go.
V. Dymarsky- But today Sergei Stepashin said that he was a witness, he was then the Minister of Internal Affairs under Yeltsin, that Yeltsin allegedly ordered in 1998, if I am not mistaken, not only to bury Lenin, but also to demolish the mausoleum. And what to do with the mausoleum? Demolish or leave under AO?
A. Nevzorov- I think that a cool boutique could be organized there.
O. Zhuravleva- Well, by the way, when there was a handbag, remember, the famous handbag on Red Square?
A. Nevzorov- Yes Yes.
O. Zhuravleva- There were such jokes when they painted the mausoleum in the photographs accordingly. It would totally work.
A. Nevzorov- No, the building is nice, and you can leave this mummy there if you find some worthy commercial use for it, because it no longer works as a symbol of anything. And I am absolutely not interested in discussing the advantages or disadvantages of Ilyich, they are all in the distant past, and this has no effect on our life today. Only here, of course, there are gourmets, there are specialists in historical subtleties and details, but there are not so many of them to take into account in the broad sense of the word ...
V. Dymarsky- But you never know what was a long time ago? Long time ago Nicholas II...
O. Zhuravleva- Yes, I also thought about Matilda.
V. Dymarsky- But still does not give rest.
A. Nevzorov- Well, now Medvedev stood up for Matilda.
V. Dymarsky- Yes.
A. Nevzorov To my deepest surprise.
V. Dymarsky- What surprised you?
A. Nevzorov- I was surprised that Medvedev, who is usually very obedient to the general Kremlin trend, was suddenly entrusted with either going against it or voicing it. This is amazing, this is weird.
V. Dymarsky- Do you think that these are all pro-Kremlin affairs? ..
A. Nevzorov- And I don’t think that anyone has the right to carry any gag on serious topics from those stands and from those heights. The fact is that here, I must say, the intelligentsia itself let us down again, because there was no need to rattle the spine. And explain to the same Teacher again that there are no legal normative acts that would oblige him to even know that Nicholas II is a saint.
There is a kind of show business called the ROC, they play their role-playing games with dressing up, where they can call each other whatever they want, that's how we have mushroom elves in Udelny Park, there are people who, in all seriousness, play gnomes and call each other by Thorin Oakenshield or “Your dwarfism”, “Your meanness”. In the same way, inside this role-playing game of the ROC, they can call each other whatever they want, but we are not obliged to know who their saint is, we are not obliged to think about this topic at all, there are no legal grounds to force us to do this or demand, so that we can be aware of it.
And besides, it was necessary to honestly say: here you have your Nicholas II, you want to worship him and shed tears about him, and we want to laugh, and for us this figure is miserable and anecdotal. Do not rattle your spine, do not tell that, ah, that's how not to offend them a little. In the end, they can withdraw into their little world, and no one has the right to get into this little world, and no one imposes this on them, because after all, the Teacher does not have divisions of submachine gunners who will drive poor Orthodox to the cinema - go or not, that’s their choice.
O. Zhuravleva- But in any case, Medvedev expressed common sense - it's wonderful.
A. Nevzorov- Sound words, and maybe it really makes sense to move to the practice, when films, and books, and articles, and radio programs will be marked with a certain sign like that, well, they are not recommended for the so-called believers.
O. Zhuravleva- Well, yes, “16+”, and “cross minus”.
V. Dymarsky- And the deputies.
A. Nevzorov- Yes, “cross minus”, absolutely right. And then let the filmmakers and radio program hosts suffer losses, maybe they will have a smaller audience, but ...
V. Dymarsky- There is a danger there, because when they put the numbers 16+, then the plus looks like a cross.
O. Zhuravleva- That's it, a disaster.
A. Nevzorov I think we'll come up with...
O. Zhuravleva- And right here.
A. Nevzorov“They are offended by everything again. They are even offended - well, I looked at the mail on Ekho Moskvy, they are even offended by the fact that Gundyaev is called Gundyaev. But in this, pardon me, when I say "Gundyaev", there is not even any challenge in this, I just explain once again that I do not take part in this role play with disguise, and therefore I call him by the surname under which he exists in the state.
O. Zhuravleva- Yes, for some reason Poltavchenko can be called Poltavchenko, but Gundyaev cannot be called Gundyaev. Marvelous.
A. Nevzorov- Yes.
O. Zhuravleva- You can, by the way, about one more person, who is also called by his last name, that same Medvedev. Here is Levada's poll, which showed some terrible rating drops, incredible. Then there was the reaction of the press secretary Timakova, who said that this is understandable, from Levada - this is a political order. Can you imagine who could order Medvedev in such a way for Levada? What kind of forces are so terrible in the country?
V. Dymarsky- Not only, by the way, Levada, and Navalny, right?
A. Nevzorov- And to everyone else.
O. Zhuravleva“Rich people, we need to get to know them. So. And who are these people?
A. Nevzorov- I suspect that they will not come down anyway, but to assume that a figure of such a large caliber in Russian politics can be attacked without Putin's signal is pointless and extremely naive. Another thing is that this may be a false attack, it may be an attempt to just knock off the trail so that, having dragged Medvedev's figure in their toothless dented drooling gums a little, the public would play enough and forget for a while, because the teeth- then the public doesn’t have it anyway, and you can let anyone play without fear that this “anyone” will be bitten. We know that it still remains, shall we say, very, very theoretical.
V. Dymarsky- Alexander Glebovich, by the way, tell me, as a Petersburger with experience, I would say, to us, Petersburgers without experience. Medvedev, he is still younger, did he enter at one time, there, in the 90s, into this Petersburg circle, which almost entirely moved to Moscow?
A. Nevzorov- Well, very much, I would say, like that, half a foot, a quarter of a foot, well, maybe even one thumb, let's say so.
V. Dymarsky- That is, he was not a full member of the cooperative? ..
A. Nevzorov- No, he didn’t play these games at all then, he was mobilized and called up for civil service much later.
V. Dymarsky“Just because of your age?”
A. Nevzorov- Because he really has some real virtues - normal kindness, normal tolerance - he has a lot, and at that moment he looked like a very reliable person. And now, indeed, I feel sorry for him, because of all this terrible host of bloodsuckers, he is the most harmless, the most kind, the most funny and the most humanoid. This is not Mizulina, who once again suddenly, after a long silence, took it and burst out ...
O. Zhuravleva― Porn addicted children.
A. Nevzorov- Yes. About the fact that watching pornography leads to infertility. Well, all right, she would say this on her own, after all, it’s okay, because it’s hard to think with the help of a brace, especially when there is only one brace. But she refers to some scientific research, it is quite possible that she simply confused the Ig Nobel Prize with the Nobel Prize. And some other explanations, but the truth is, she is not supposed to know this either, she, in general, is such a narrow-minded girl with us, but very fond of forbidding everything and talking about everything.
It is clear that there are no interconnections, and maybe you will also be interested, because this is already from the history of pornography. And in the 18th century, this kind of product was in great demand and aroused interest, but then the golden youth of England and France used very badly printed obstetric guides, guides for midwives, where not a damn thing was visible at all.
O. Zhuravleva“Then some obscene postcards appeared.
A. Nevzorov- Yes. But wait. Just imagine for a second what these engravings of the 18th century looked like. And yet, the youth of that time managed to masturbate looking at this horror, and this horror was enough for them to be involved in some first pornographic ...
O. Zhuravleva- Well, by the way, they didn’t die out, which means that it didn’t cause infertility.
A. Nevzorov“If you look at the first images, the first sculptures of mankind, they are absolutely pornographic, these are the so-called Neolithic Venuses.
O. Zhuravleva- Yes Yes.
A. Nevzorov- There is no face, it is not essential.
O. Zhuravleva But there is a figure.
A. Nevzorov- There are gigantic boobs, a very deep vaginal (indecipherable) is drawn, that is, two main principles are drawn, according to which a woman differed from a man. But then, don't forget, she still required extraordinary corpulence, a woman was considered only as a child-bearing machine, and, on an extreme rainy day, food.
V. Dymarsky- This will now be called the initial accumulation of pornographic capital.
A. Nevzorov- Yes, absolutely right. And yet, despite the fact that this pornography has been present since the very first days of human history, no one really died, as Olya rightly noted. But we are all inadequate. Now they killed a Russian soldier in Armenia, I thought that the State Duma would demand without fail that Armenian radio be banned throughout the territory Russian Federation.
That is, everything is senile, and against this background, Medvedev with his slippers and his harmless villas, well, believe me, the least of the evils.
O. Zhuravleva- You just said “villas”, I imagined Medvedev with a pitchfork and in slippers ...
V. Dymarsky- Remembered the magazine "Crocodile".
A. Nevzorov- There clearly sounded two "l".
O. Zhuravleva- Good, yes.
Alexander Nevzorov: Against this background, Medvedev with his slippers and harmless villas is the lesser of two evils Q tweet
V. Dymarsky Do you remember the Crocodile magazine? A crocodile with a pitchfork stood.
A. Nevzorov- Yes. In our country, everything is, to one degree or another, extremely hypocritical, as it was the hypocritical ridiculous storming of the Reichstag. Also there, for example, poor Maksakova was left without a fee, although very ...
V. Dymarsky She left without a husband.
A. Nevzorov- She was left without a fee, because she very convincingly fainted, sobbed, portrayed grief, but this billion-dollar inheritance somehow flew past her.
V. Dymarsky- Yes you!
A. Nevzorov- Yes.
V. Dymarsky How did this get past me?
A. Nevzorov- Although it was probably still her best acting work.
O. Zhuravleva- Stop it! A great human feeling… You somehow deny natural manifestations to a person. Why is that? You even, I suppose, deny Macron that he married his teacher for love.
A. Nevzorov- No, I hope that he was guided by higher and brighter motives, that is, normal self-interest or the expectation of an imminent inheritance. Then all this can be understood, forgiven and explained, it becomes, mind you, so beautiful at once ...
V. Dymarsky- Who are you rooting for? Macron or Marine Le Pen? Or do you not care?
A. Nevzorov“I don’t root for anyone at all. I am well. I don't care which one. Although, of course, LePenche made such picturesque and insane mistakes that only a Frenchwoman could make, who poorly evaluates, let's say, herself and her appearance. This is her pilgrimage to Moscow, falling at the feet of Putin - it's all very beautiful. But I'm afraid that civilized Europe will not appreciate this demarche, and if it does, it will only be strictly negative.
V. Dymarsky- But did the Americans appreciate Trump?
A. Nevzorov- Therefore, I think that this election is most likely - I explain, I'm not sick, I don't care - this Macron will most likely win.
O. Zhuravleva We're taking a news break here. These are "Nevzor environments". Alexander Nevzorov, Vitaly Dymarsky and Olga Zhuravleva will come to you after the news.
NEWS
O. Zhuravleva―9:35 p.m. in Moscow, this is Nevzor Wednesday. From Moscow, Olga Zhuravleva, and from St. Petersburg, as expected, Alexander Nevzorov and Vitaly Dymarsky. Gentlemen, are you with us?
A. Nevzorov- Certainly.
V. Dymarsky- Yes.
O. Zhuravleva- It's good that you answer in chorus, well done. By the way, in pursuit of what Alexander Glebovich said about Marine Le Pen, the European Parliament began the procedure for depriving Mrs. Le Pen of her parliamentary immunity. She is suspected of organizing a scheme to pay salaries to her employees at the expense of EU funds. Listen, it's amazing, no matter who they are, no matter how humanoid or vice versa ugly, in reality the majority turns out to be petty thieves. And these people, by the way, solve the issues of war and peace in different countries...
V. Dymarsky“And these people forbid us to pick our noses…”
O. Zhuravleva- ... they forbid us to pick our noses, watch Matilda or anything else. Terrible politicians.
A. Nevzorov- Look, we have North Koreans again, they threatened Australia this time, right?
O. Zhuravleva- God! I missed everything.
A. Nevzorov“…they will bomb it…”
V. Dymarsky“But New Zealand will be pitied.
A. Nevzorov- Because the Australians brilliantly explained to the North Koreans that the North Koreans, what is called, have a short pepper ...
O. Zhuravleva- And the Earth is round.
A. Nevzorov- But what a magnificent diplomatic form they found in order to formalize and pack this statement into a text. But I think that sooner or later North Korea will unite with the DPR, and Zakharchenko and plump Kim, they will threaten the world together, they love to do it. Zakharchenko will threaten on Tuesdays, Kim Jong-un will threaten on Thursdays, and on Monday they will do it as a duet, because they are both the same...
V. Dymarsky Thursday is fish day.
A. Nevzorov- Yes.
O. Zhuravleva- By the way, our General Staff, Alexander Glebovich, reports that the US missile defense creates an opportunity for a covert nuclear strike against Russia. For a sudden nuclear strike or covert. The wording here is different, but I like it.
A. Nevzorov- We suddenly have winter, stadiums suddenly collapse and subways explode, everything happens suddenly.
V. Dymarsky“The winter is coming to an end for us.
A. Nevzorov“It ended, but then, as you know, it started again.
V. Dymarsky Yes, and it continues.
A. Nevzorov- The main thing for us is not to forget about behavior, because today, today, directly and specifically, we have Artemon's day.
O. Zhuravleva- Which dog is this?
A. Nevzorov- No, Saint Artemon - his only merit and famous deed was that he sneaked into the temple of Artemis and committed an act of primitive rude vandalism there, for which even in the Russian Federation he would still have received at least five, if not 10 years of strict regime .
A. Nevzorov: I think that sooner or later North Korea will unite with the DPR, and Zakharchenko and Kim will threaten peace together Q tweet
V. Dymarsky- Without the right of correspondence.
A. Nevzorov“He smashed all the antique statues he could get his hands on and then set them all on fire. Moreover, one must understand that where we find evidence in some Gibbon that the early Christians destroyed almost all ancient art, there is no exaggeration in this. And even if we, let's say, leave the story of Artemon on the conscience of the authors of the lives - perhaps everything was not so, it's all always fantasy - then we must understand that ancient art was really exterminated with extraordinary passion.
And today's stupid passion of priests to desecrate exhibitions, to ban operas, to encroach on movies - it all comes from there, because there are examples of behavior for them. And this Artemon, who became famous for vicious vandalism against the monuments of ancient art, he is a saint, that is, this is a creature that is a model of behavior ...
V. Dymarsky- And who declared him a saint?
A. Nevzorov He has been canonized by the Christian Church.
V. Dymarsky- The Vatican?
A. Nevzorov- Not.
V. Dymarsky Or Orthodox?
A. Nevzorov- This is a common saint, this is also ...
O. Zhuravleva Is this before 1054?
A. Nevzorov“It’s actually the 4th century.
O. Zhuravleva- Understandably.
A. Nevzorov- But where even these saints are not common, they are still Christian saints, and where we again pay attention to what style of behavior is proposed as normative, let's remember St. herself to such a state that worms started up in her clothes.
O. Zhuravleva“It seems to me that you have already talked about some similar heroine.
A. Nevzorov- No, it was another saint, I was talking then about Simeon the Stylite, who bred worms in the ulcers of his body.
O. Zhuravleva“I think you talk about worms every show.
A. Nevzorov“Wait, we talk about Christian saints all the time. Worms and Christian saints, they all crawl somewhere near each other. And just understand that this Margarita, whom I am talking about, was not some street homeless woman, she was the daughter of King Bela IV, she was the so-called princess. But no one wants to pay attention to the patterns of behavior that Margarita offers. They want to perfume themselves, they are believers, and I think that if Christian saints gathered and sniffed, for example, the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, they would simply anathematize it at that very second only according to one principle, according to the principle of smells, yes ?
But there is a lot of cheerful hypocrisy, because, let's remember, there was also such Saint Macrina, she, in my opinion, was also somewhere these days. Saint Macrina had a boil on her chest, but she said that she would rather die of blood poisoning and gangrene than show her breasts to the doctor.
O. Zhuravleva Well, it's still very popular now.
V. Dymarsky- It has its own logic.
A. Nevzorov“I don’t remember that any young girls now ...
V. Dymarsky- But what chastity.
A. Nevzorov“Well, chastity is relative…”
O. Zhuravleva“And you just don’t look at all believers. In Islamic, for example, traditions, someone there called for the extermination of all male gynecologists, I don’t remember in which country. Well, not in the sense of exterminating, but in the sense of forbidding men to work as gynecologists. All for the same reason, for the reason of chastity.
A. Nevzorov– This was accepted in Europe too, and even those masters of obstetrics who were recognized specialists, such as Ruysch, for example, before he began to make a collection of his monstrous babies, now exhibited in the Kunstkamera, he was a famous gynecologist and obstetrician, but he always made examinations in total darkness.
O. Zhuravleva- Oh my God!
V. Dymarsky- To no-no.
A. Nevzorov- Not to see.
O. Zhuravleva- And you say pornography.
V. Dymarsky And that she didn't see him.
A. Nevzorov- No, well, she's okay, but anyway, the doctor was not allowed to look, he could very approximately ...
V. Dymarsky- All by touch.
A. Nevzorov- By touch, and as I understand it, there was a couple of midwives standing nearby, midwives and mizulins of that time, who beat him on the hands so that he wouldn’t touch something wrong. That is, the European doctors were also very difficult ...
O. Zhuravleva“But the years went by.
A. Nevzorov- Years passed, ideas about decency changed. By the way, I’ll bring you sooner or later, you love all this historical crap, there is such a wonderful book by Caspar d’Orno. Don't know, no?
O. Zhuravleva- Not.
A. Nevzorov: Worms and Christian saints, they all crawl somewhere next to each other
What is flatulence, and why does it produce an unpleasant odor? Flatulence can make anyone blush, but just thinking that this is the most common function of the human body, which leads to an improvement in general condition, can reduce suffering a little. And this can happen not only to an ordinary citizen, but also to the Queen of England. We have collected 10 interesting facts about meteorism.
A fart is air accumulated in the body, which can come out of various openings. This includes the air that was swallowed when eating food. Some gases are caused by bacteria that live in the human intestine. Fart is made up of 4% oxygen, 7% methane, 9% carbon dioxide, 21% hydrogen, and 59% nitrogen. The smell of gas gives sulfur, which is also contained in the fart.
The more sulfur in the consumed products, the brighter the smell will be. Some foods contain higher amounts of sulfur than others. For example, beans, peas, soda, cheeses, and eggs can give a fart such a flavor that paint will peel off the walls.
3. People pass gases about 14 times a day
Regardless of gender, a person produces about 0.5 liters of methane every day. Moreover, the concentration of methane in the female and male body with equal food intake is different. In females, methane accumulates more. If a person emits gas continuously for 6-9 years, then this energy will be comparable to the energy of an atomic bomb.
As usual, the smell of methane lingers in the air for about 10 seconds. But, although this speed is not so great, it is quite enough to reach the nostrils.
5. Containment can negatively affect human health
Doctors are constantly arguing about the extent of the harmfulness of holding back gases in the body. Some argue that this is not so scary, while others believe that the intestines can be seriously affected and even hemorrhoids can form from this.6. In some cultures, farts are commonplace.
In most cultures, the emission of gases in public is suppressed by moral norms, but here are some nationalities who consider this a normal phenomenon. There are tribes in India who call this process Yanomami and use it as a greeting. And in China there is even such a position - an official farter.
7 Termite Flatulence Could Cause Global Warming
Termites may have an impact on the onset of global warming. They fart more than any mammal. According to statistics, termites release into the atmosphere from 2 to 22 Tg annually. It is the second largest natural source of methane.8. Human gases are highly flammable.
As already written earlier, when hydrogen and methane interact, the gas becomes combustible. In medical practice, there are cases when gases in the intestines cause an explosion during surgery.
9. If you hold back gases, they will come out in a dream.
If a person contracts the muscles of the fifth point throughout the day, then the gases will still find a way out, but this will only happen in a dream.10. A person farts even after death
The fact that a person emits gas after death has long been proven. This happens for the reason that gases continue to accumulate in the body and are looking for ways out. As a result, the dead can fart and belch up to three hours after death.The data given in the material are the results of scientific research and sociological surveys. The latter, by the way, can be very interesting and even funny, such as.

Salvador Dali was one of the greatest originals of the 20th century. His extravagant antics, as well as no less outrageous paintings, are known even to those who are not interested in fine arts. Dali also excelled in literature ... I bring to the attention of readers an excerpt from Salvador Dali's book "The Diary of a Genius", which is not an autobiography in the strict sense of the word, but is a series of small essays, in this particular case devoted to such a not poetic, but quite vital everyday stuff like PUK.
And so, selected chapters from the essay
THE ART OF THE PUK, or A GUARD FOR THE GUNNER
written by Count Trubachevsky, Doctor of the Bronze Horse,
recommended for people suffering from constipation.
INTRODUCTION
Shame, shame on you, Reader, to fart for a long time, without bothering to ask how this action proceeds and how it should be done! It is generally accepted to believe that there are only large and small farts, but in essence they are all the same; meanwhile, this is a gross mistake. The matter which I present to your attention today, having previously analyzed the subject with all possible thoroughness, has hitherto been passed over in complete silence, and not at all because it was considered that it was all unworthy of attention, there was simply a widespread opinion that this subject was not subject to exact study. and is not consistent with the latest achievements of science. What a profound delusion! The bunch is an art, and therefore, as Lucian, Hermogenes, Quintilian and others have argued, the essence is a very useful thing. So the ability to fart by the way and at the right time is much more important than it is commonly thought.
"A fart held inside
So, it hurts, even yell,
Can break the womb
And cause death.
If on the edge of the grave
Fart on time and cute
Can you save your life
And get healthy."
Finally, as will become clear to the Reader from the further development of this treatise, one can fart, adhering to certain rules and even with a certain taste.
Chapter one
GENERAL DEFINITION OF A FAR AS SUCH
Puk, which the Greeks call the word Porde, the Latins call it chepitus ventris, the Old Saxons call it Partin or Furlin, those who speak a high Germanic dialect call Fartzen, and the English call it Fart, there is a certain composition of winds that are released, sometimes with noise, and sometimes deafly and without any sound accompaniment.
Meanwhile, there are narrow-minded, but very enterprising authors who, contrary to Culpan's dictionary and other dictionaries, stubbornly and arrogantly defend the absurd assertion that the concept of "fart" in the true, that is, in the natural and original sense of the word, is applicable only when it is issued accompanied by some sound; moreover, they are based on a poem by Horace, which by no means gives a complete and comprehensive idea of the bunch as such:
Nam displosa sonat quantum Vesica pepedi. SAT. eight.
(I farted with the kind of noise that only a well-inflated bladder can make.)
But after all, it is clear to everyone that in the mentioned poem Horace used the verb pedere, that is, to fart in the most general, generic sense, and should he not, in this case, making it clear that the word pedere certainly means a certain distinct sound, make a reservation, narrowing the concept and explaining that we are talking here only about the kind of fart that comes out with noise? Significantly different from the philistine ideas about the fart was the dearest philosopher Saint-Evremond: he considered it a kind of sigh and once said to his beloved, in whose presence he happened to swell:
"Seeing your disgrace,
Sadness accumulates in the heart
Sighs constrict the chest.
Is it so strange that one breath
Not daring to break from the mouth,
Has the other found his way?
So, in the very general view a fart can be defined as a kind of gas or wind that has accumulated in the lower abdominal cavity due, according to doctors, to an excess of cooled mucus, which, with weak heating, separates, softens, but does not completely dissolve; in the opinion of peasants and inhabitants, it is the result of the use of certain wind-forming seasonings or products of the same property. You can also define it as compressed air, passing in search of an exit through the internal parts of the body and finally flying out with haste, as soon as an opening opens in front of it, the name of which is forbidden to pronounce the rules of good manners. But here we will speak openly and call a spade a spade: this "something" we are talking about arises from the anus, appearing either accompanied by a slight explosion, or without it; sometimes nature releases him without any effort, but sometimes you have to resort to the help of a certain art, which, relying on the same nature, facilitates its birth, bringing relief, and often even just real pleasure. It was this circumstance that gave rise to the saying:
"To walk healthy,
We need to let the wind out."
But let us return to our definition and try to prove that it fully corresponds to the most healthy rules philosophy, for it includes gender, matter and difference, quia petre consiat genere, materia et differentia:
1. It embraces all causes and all varieties;
2. Although our object is constant in terms of ancestry, it is, beyond any doubt, by no means so due to its remote causes, which are generated by winds, namely mucus, as well as poorly digested food. Let's discuss this in more detail before sticking our nose into all sorts of particulars.
So, we affirm that the puk matter is cooled down and slightly softened.
For just as it never rains in the hottest or coldest regions, since in the first type the excess heat absorbs all vapors and vapors, and in cold countries excessive frost prevents the emission of vapors, it rains mainly in regions with a medium, temperate climate (as the specialist in historical methodology Bodin, as well as Skalizher and Kadan, very correctly noted); the same happens with excess heat, when it not only grinds and softens food, but also dissolves and absorbs all vapors, which cold could never do; that's why no vapors are given off here. Quite the opposite occurs at mild and moderate temperatures. Slight heat does not digest the food completely, but only slightly softens it, as a result of which the gastric and intestinal mucus is able to secrete a large amount of winds, which become more energetic in relation to the wind-forming ability of various food products, which, if they are subjected to fermentation at average temperature, produce particularly thick and swirling vapors. This can be very clearly felt by comparing spring and autumn with summer and winter, and also by examining the art of slow distillation.
Chapter Two
VARIETIES OF FUCK, IN PARTICULAR, THE DIFFERENCE OF FUCK FROM BUCKING, AND A COMPLETE PROOF OF THE DEFINITION OF FUCK
We have already noted above that the fart comes out through the anus. This is where it differs from burping or Spanish burping. These latter, although they consist of the same matter, yet in the stomach choose the way out through the top, either because of the close proximity of this opening, or because of a too hard or full stomach, or because of some other obstacles, preventing them from following the lower path. Belching, according to our definitions, is inextricably linked with a fart, although there are those among them that are more disgusting than any fart: we recall how once, at the court of Louis the Great, a certain ambassador, in the midst of all the splendor and grandeur that this most august monarch presented him with admiring eyes, belched the most in a peasant way, assuring at the same time that in his country belching is an indispensable attribute of that noble degree that reigns in those parts. So do not judge one too unfavorably in favor of the other; whether the winds go up or down, they are all one and the same, and there should not be the slightest doubt about this. Indeed, we read in the second volume of Fourtier's General Dictionary that a vassal in the county of Suffolk was supposed to depict before the king one jump, one burp and one fart on Christmas days.
And yet, it would be unlawful to include belching either in the class of colitis winds, or in the class of grumbling and bloating, which also belong to winds of the same type and, although revealing themselves as a characteristic roar in the intestines, still do not appear immediately, but with somewhat belatedly, reminiscent of a prologue to a comedy or harbingers of a coming storm. Particularly susceptible to this are young maidens and ladies who tightly pull themselves together with corsets in order to emphasize the waist. Their intestines, as Fernel says, are so distended and inflated by the physicians that the winds contained there arrange battles in the abdominal cavity no worse than those that once took place between the winds locked up by Aeolus in the caves of the Aeolian mountains: it is quite possible rely on their strength, setting off on a long sea voyage, or turning the wings of windmills. To finally prove the legitimacy of the definition we have given, it remains only to talk about the ultimate goal of the fart, which sometimes comes down to bodily health, as nature desires it, and sometimes turns into pleasure or even pleasure, which the arts give us; but let us put aside this question for the present and consider it together with the question of consequences and results. See the relevant chapters of the appendix.
Note, however, that we in no way share and even, on the contrary, categorically reject any goals that would be harmful to health or contrary to good taste, such excesses, speaking politely and conscientiously, have no place at all among reasonable and pleasurable goals.
Flatulence affects about 30% of the total population. It is characteristic that with flatulence the discharge of gases occurs 300 times a day, which is 20 times more often than normal. (M. Lewitt).
At the beginning of the third millennium, in an age of unprecedented advances in science and technology, man is still faced with miracles. But now, unlike his predecessors, he increasingly asks the question: why? The answer is science. She persistently dispels the "fog of mystery". More recently, researchers have unraveled the mystery of two more phenomena.
On January 5, 1996, 12-year-old Sasha Chekeres burned alive in a pressure chamber at a treatment session at the barocenter of the St. Petersburg Pediatric Academy. The criminal case on this tragic incident was terminated due to the fact that four months after the tragedy, the remains of a lighter, which the boy allegedly carried with him, were allegedly found at the scene of the incident.
AT last years similar fires in single-seat medical pressure chambers also occurred in other cities: Minsk, Rostov-on-Don, Barnaul, Yekaterinburg, Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk. In some cases, nothing is known about the causes of fires and such pressure chambers, since investigative experiments were not carried out. What was the cause of the fires?
lurking danger
In Russia, 99% of medical institutions are equipped with single-seat medical pressure chambers, which are unsafe to operate, because the pressure is increased by medical oxygen. Fires in them occur rapidly, like a delayed explosion, with a rapid increase in pressure and temperature (up to 1400 ° C). In multi-seat pressure chambers, which are filled not with oxygen, but with air, the probability of a fire is lower. And even if this happened, some victims managed to escape (albeit with burns to the body and poisoning by combustion products).
There are many causes of fire in pressure chambers: flammable objects (lighters, matches, transistors, etc.); static electricity; clothing that accumulates an electric charge (nylon, nylon, etc.); even repeatedly washed cotton fabric can self-ignite; cosmetics; some intercoms.
In "deaf" cases of fires in a pressure chamber filled with oxygen, intestinal gases, abundantly expelled from patients, may be to blame. This version was put forward by an employee of the Military Medical Academy, Candidate of Medical Sciences Vladimir Ivanovich Tyurin.
Explosive mixtures inside a person
What could be on fire, you ask? Not only burn, but also explode! American flatologists (doctors who study the formation of intestinal gases in various parts of the intestine, their composition, volume and frequency of release) determined that these gases contain approximately 60% nitrogen, 5% oxygen, 15% carbon dioxide and 20% hydrogen. And hydrogen sulfide, methane, carbon monoxide, mercaptan “roam” inside us. All this either burns well or explodes when combined in certain proportions with oxygen.
The researchers even found out in which parts of the intestine which gases are formed. To do this, 11 volunteers were injected with three probes (into the stomach through the mouth and into the intestines through the anus) for 14 days. Well, they got tired, I guess. But now much is known.
It turns out that when digesting an average lunch, almost 15 liters of gases are formed! True, only a few percent of them come out with a fart, and the rest penetrates through the walls of the intestine into the blood and is excreted through the lungs.
Normally, the amount of intestinal gases is small - 0.9-1.0 liters. With flatulence (bloating), this volume increases to 5-10 liters, and due to combustible and explosive gases - hydrogen and methane. There are even cases of inflammation and explosions of intestinal gases during operations and complex medical procedures.
It is possible that an explosive mixture is also formed under the patient's blanket in the pressure chamber.
As you know, oxygen barotherapy is prescribed to sick people. Many serious diseases are treated with this non-specific method: gas gangrene, extensive burns, sepsis, heart and vascular diseases, psoriasis, periodontal disease, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and much more.
Thus, patients in the pressure chamber emit combustible gases not only from the intestines, but also when breathing.
"Fresh breath"
Since the time of Hippocrates, physicians have been able to identify diseases by the smell of exhaled air. In diabetic patients, the exhalation “smells” of acetone, with severe liver damage, a fishy odor comes out, with kidney failure, urine “pulls” out of the mouth, and with a lung abscess, a putrid stench is emitted.
For the first time, breath analysis was carried out in 1784 by Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (who discovered the role of oxygen in combustion) and the French mathematician Pierre Laplace. They did this on a guinea pig and found that the animal breathes in oxygen and breathes out carbon dioxide. Other volatile components of exhaled air have only been discovered since the middle of the 19th century.
In 1971, 250 volatile organic compounds were known in exhaled air, and at present, about 400 of them have been isolated, including combustible ones - methane and hydrogen.
Dangerous fun
Some people use the burning properties of intestinal gases for entertainment. This is often shown in youth comedies. Someone Michael Lewitt set fire to his exhaust gases with a burning splinter. Sometimes the length of the flame at the same time reached 25 cm or more.
And a few years ago, the Irish newspaper The Irish Times, in an article entitled "Gone with the Wind," spoke about the serious consequences of such entertainment. One of the farmers of Offaly County decided to play a joke and released gases on a lit match to trace their trajectory while in the barn. And he did not calculate: the trajectory turned out to be so great that the fire under the pressure of intestinal gases (which can break out at a speed of 0.1 to 1.1 m / s) reached a haystack. And in a few minutes everything burned down.
It’s better to “harmlessly” have fun, following the example of rock and roll star Rod Stewart. Together with his wife - supermodel Rachel Hunter - he indulges in his favorite pastime and even competes with her, arguing for big money, in who will release the loudest "burst of charges". The biggest nuisance for outsiders in this case is spoiled air.
"Heavenly voice"
But is the release of gases in the pressure chamber really so dangerous, the reader may doubt?
According to foreign and domestic researchers, about 30% of the total population suffers from flatulence, while gases pass almost 300 times a day (20 times more often than normal). It is estimated that during flatulence people let out gases 12-13 times per hour, and the volume of each "charge" is 40 ml or more.
Often flatulence occurs after surgery. To reduce it, patients are sometimes placed in a single treatment pressure chamber. At high blood pressure the patient's stomach falls, intestinal motility is restored, and intestinal gases begin to move away. Surgeons call this "heavenly voice." This “voice” is especially strong when the pressure in the pressure chamber decreases. This is where spontaneous combustion of the released methane, hydrogen sulfide or explosive gas can occur.
The potential for a fire or explosion in the pressure chamber due to the accumulation of intestinal gases has been substantiated by experts. However, not everyone considers this reason convincing. In the event of a pressure chamber fire at the Pediatric Academy of St. Petersburg, the commission that examined this incident did not consider it necessary to mention intestinal gases among the probable causes of the tragedy.
Astronauts burnt out in oxygen
In 1971, a Soviet cosmonaut died on Earth in a fire in a sound chamber filled with pure oxygen (at a pressure of 259 mm Hg). When oxygen burns, the temperature rises very quickly, even lead wires and stainless steel melt.
In 1977, in the United States, three astronauts burned to death in the cabin of a spacecraft, also filled with pure oxygen (at a pressure of 270 mmHg). After that, in order to increase fire safety, the Americans began to use a nitrogen-oxygen mixture (69% nitrogen and 31% oxygen) in spacecraft, and only compressed air in pressure chambers.
And in Italy, because of the danger of fires, they completely abandoned the use of single medical pressure chambers.
But is it dangerous to "shoot with intestinal charges" in space? After all, when a gas jet flows out of the astronaut's anus, a jet thrust is created. With what speed does such a jet allow you to move inside the ship and outside it?
One of the Russian cosmonauts who went into outer space said that this problem is not urgent. The force of the emitted jet is less than the total thrust impulse of one's own breath. Boles serious problem, which even dissertations are devoted to, is the blanket air that each of us breathes.
(Much more problems when working in space are created by the beating of the heart: in zero gravity the body vibrates due to its impacts. This prevents the astronauts from working on ultra-precise optical instruments. You have to fix the body in order to accurately “aim” at the crosspiece of the device.)
It turns out that it is safe to release gases in space, you won’t even hit your head.
By the way, a person “salutes” from the intestines on average 8 times a day, that is, 2900 times a year, and in a lifetime a man releases a line of gases in 209 thousand charges, and a woman - 232 thousand. Plus, it makes a lot of noise!
dangerous occupation
It turns out that the “voice of heaven” (as surgeons call this phenomenon) sometimes has more than serious and tragic consequences. Los Angeles researcher Jim Dawson published an entire book, Who Cut the Cheese, dedicated to the "cultural history of flatulence." Some excerpts from it testify to the acuteness of the problem.
For example, a single "blank shot" cost the lives of 10,000 people in the 1st century AD. Some Roman soldier decided to express his contempt for the Jews and loudly passed gases in the presence of a crowd of thousands. The people rebelled and staged a riot, during which many innocent people died.
"Give me a drink!"
In 1998, at one of the fires in the Vyborgsky district of St. Petersburg, two firefighters admitted that in their practice there were unexplained cases of spontaneous combustion of people. In official reports, only cases of fires and casualties are recorded. Spontaneous combustion of people, if any, is counted as a casualty, without specifying the cause.
The fire tamers refused to give names: the authorities do not like extraneous conversations at the facilities.
About three years ago, Nikolai was on call in a communal apartment in the Vyborg district. Neighbors called firefighters when smoke and a strong smell of burning came out of the drunkard's room. Arriving firefighters broke open the door and saw a completely drunk, burnt man on the floor. His body was in terrible burns, charred in places. Fragments of clothing have been preserved. When they began to lift him up, the peasant woke up and began to ask: “Pour me a drink!” Then he died. What is surprising: apart from him, nothing in the room burned down. Even if he set himself on fire, the furniture would catch fire, but here everything remained intact.
One acquaintance, recently working in the fire department, heard about a similar case from colleagues from the Nevsky district. From time to time, reports appear in the press about people burning from the inside. The reasons for these incidents remain a mystery.
Flashing from within
This dramatic incident occurred on February 19, 1725 in a small Parisian hotel and became the first official evidence of spontaneous human combustion. The wife of the owner, Jacques Millet, suffering from alcoholism, went down to the cellar, taking with her a bottle of wine. The owner fell asleep without waiting for his wife. The smell of burning woke him up. Jacques Millet dressed hastily and rushed into the cellar. There, a terrible picture appeared to his eyes: the remains of an unfortunate woman were smoldering on an armchair.
The court tried to accuse the owner of the hotel of premeditated murder, but one surprising circumstance saved the innocent man from execution: his wife was burned from the inside. The victim's clothes were unscorched! The doctor Le Sha, who was at the hotel that night, managed to prove to the judges that not a single mortal is able to burn a human body without damaging surrounding objects.
Such chilling incidents are far from uncommon in the annals of history. Most often, overweight women addicted to wine became victims of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, even 300 years ago, many believed that this was God's punishment for an unrighteous lifestyle. But sometimes the fire punished innocent people.
American Jack Angell, absolutely sober, went to bed on November 12, 1974 in his camper van. He woke up only four days later and saw with horror that his right hand burned to the ground. Significant areas of the skin on the back were also burned. During the interrogation, the unfortunate man could not say anything intelligible. He managed to remember only "a strange semblance of an explosion in his chest." Neighbors on the campsite, who came to the rescue, were surprised to find that Jack Angel was wearing pajamas intact.
Forensic medical experts were also extremely surprised - the victim's hand was burned from the inside. This was evidenced by the skin preserved in places and the bone, which turned into ashes. For more than two years, experts have been dismantling and reassembling Jack's camper van, trying to find the cause of the mystery in it, but to no avail.
Burning more often
In 1985 in England there were several cases of spontaneous combustion of people. So, on January 28, a young student who descended into the hall of Widnes College in Cheshire suddenly broke out in front of shocked acquaintances and soon died.
Another victim was the elderly widow Mary Carter, who was found dead in the hallway of her flat in Ivor Road, Sparkhill, Birmingham. Although there were matches in the room, they were not found near the corpse. Where the fire came from, they could not understand.
A month later, 19-year-old computer operator Paul Hayes had a stomach flare as he strolled leisurely on Stephen Green in London. He managed to get to the hospital, where doctors saved him because the fire burned for about 30 seconds.
In 1988 in England, a 71-year-old woman survived a spontaneous combustion, but her husband was seriously burned while saving his wife from the fire.
In April 1990, a 14-year-old boy from Hunan Province (China) spontaneously flared up several times. Small wisps of flame shot out from round pores on his skin.
On May 29 of the same year in Los Angeles (USA), 26-year-old Angela Hernandez, a patient at a medical center, suddenly ignited on the operating table and died.
Similar cases are known in Russia. One of them occurred in October 1990 on the border of the Saratov and Volgograd regions. Two shepherds accidentally wandered onto a hillside, which, according to local beliefs, must be avoided. Feeling tired, one of them sat down on a stone (according to other sources, sat down due to great need), and the other went to calm the frightened sheep. Returning from the flock, the shepherd found the charred corpse of his partner. No more than five minutes passed.
Before the arrival of doctors and police, the corpse was transferred to a cart. Eyewitnesses testified that his clothes were not damaged by the flames. However, when the body was removed from the cart, its bottom turned out to be charred. The case on the shepherd’s charge of setting his partner on fire was closed due to lack of evidence.
theoretical spark
Are these strange occurrences of living torches amenable to explanation? According to South African professor Jackie van Streip, there may be several hypotheses. The most plausible is the following: our body contains chemical elements (for example, phosphorus), which, when in contact with each other or air, can ignite spontaneously. Probably, under certain conditions, pure phosphorus formed in an unknown way reacts with oxygen and ... explodes.
Another assumption is based on the fact that other substances can also ignite: combustible gases emitted by the body, as well as fats, which are especially abundant in the body of fat people. A theoretical spark capable of igniting a combustible mixture can be formed as a result of the difference in the electrostatic potentials of individual internal organs.
In the 19th century, the hypothesis of spontaneous combustion of drunkards was popular, whose bodies are alcoholized and therefore flare up from any spark, even when smoking.
The above hypotheses still cannot explain why, in most cases, the surrounding objects remain intact, and sometimes even the clothes of the victims.
A number of researchers of this phenomenon express other assumptions. The fire that burns the unfortunate from the inside is caused by ball lightning, microwave radiation, and even ... an atomic fusion reaction in the body.
Which of the hypotheses will be correct?
Recently, British researchers uncovered a mystery that had endured for nearly three centuries. It was found that the cause of the phenomenon is methane. It accumulates in the intestine due to dysfunction of the digestive system. Sometimes it is enough to smoke at the wrong time for the gas accumulated in the cavities of the body to ignite.
The ability of unusual fire to destroy bones is no longer a mystery. The experimenters roasted a fattened pig over low heat for 5 hours. It turned out that the bones of the animal that died in the name of science became black, easily crumbling firebrands.
Fat helped turn them into ashes. It turned out that the fatty layer of mammals significantly increases the destructive power of the flame. This discovery also made it possible to explain the mysterious preservation of the lower body in the victims of spontaneous combustion. As you know, there is practically no fat on the legs.
From the book "Phenomena, secrets, hypotheses" Potapov A.V.
It is not customary to talk about this in society, but we will talk anyway!
Have you ever wondered why we fart? Although, probably, there is no need to think here - this is a natural process that helps our body to get rid of air bubble masses that occur in the intestines due to decay products.
The main role in this is played by beneficial bacteria that are in our gastrointestinal tract. However, sometimes farting (gas formation) is increased. In other words, we want to emit gases everywhere and everywhere - at home, at work, in bed with loved ones ... In this case, we are looking for any ways to get rid of gases. We'll talk about this.
What makes us fart?
To begin with, let's explain that increased gas emission begins when air accumulates in the intestines, expanding it or the stomach and causing some discomfort. This results in both belching from the mouth and farting from the rectum. There are several reasons for increased gas emission, including:
- fast and not too thorough chewing of food;
- if a person eats, experiencing some nervous discomfort;
- binge eating;
- when we eat for the coming dream;
- an allergic reaction to certain foods, for example, potatoes, garlic and mushrooms with eggs.
By the way, farting from pregnant women is the most common occurrence, because the fetus growing in the womb squeezes the rectum. If the reason for the question of how to get rid of gases is only this, then you should not bother, but what if not this? It needs to be identified immediately!
If farting is systematic, then you should visit a doctor. It is he who will advise you on this matter, advise methods and means on how to get rid of gases easily and quickly. By the way, speaking about doctors within the framework of such a delicate topic, it is impossible not to mention the main therapist of our television - Elena Vasilievna Malysheva. Personally, she sees nothing wrong with excessive gas emission. According to her, she herself happily "bulges two liters of air a day" /quote/. And more recently, a respected professor approved of the emission of intestinal gases ... during orgasm! The doctor, of course, knows better. We will not argue here.
- First of all, try to thoroughly chew what you eat, and with your mouth closed. This will prevent air bubbles from traveling down the esophagus into the abdomen and then into the intestines.
- Bifidobacteria know very well how to get rid of gases in the stomach. The fact is that they are able to create a favorable environment in our stomach, perfectly coping with the emerging air masses, preventing their penetration into the intestines.
- Drink as little strong coffee and tea as possible. Do not eat too hot or, conversely, very cold foods, as this also contributes to the swallowing of excess air masses and, as a result, increased gas formation.
