James Taranto found this little gem. To quote James:

"Biologists have linked a mysterious, underwater farting sound to bubbles coming out of a herring's anus," reports New Scientist magazine, which helpfully provides a WAV-format file of the fishy flatulence. The scientists say, however, that "the sounds are probably not caused by digestive gases because the number of sounds does not change when the fish are fed."

The fish make the sound only when it's dark, leading scientists to hypothesize that they use it to communicate their location. Our theory is that they're just embarrassed. We have an image of a bunch of herring packed sardine-like onto an elevator and everyone's thinking, Who farted?
