Is the spoiler warning really neccessary?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.97.177 (talkcontribs) 02:40, February 9, 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.111.145 (talkcontribs) 08:38, March 3, 2006 (UTC)

Trivia removal

In this edit, I removed the entire trivia section. I did so because none of the items said much more than that this book was mentioned in such and such an example of US popular culture. -- Hoary (talk) 12:15, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another trivia removal

This edit, altering one unsourced trivial claim to another (less amusing and thus less credible) unsourced trivial claim, reminded me that all of this is, well, unsourced and trivial, even when aggrandized as "parodies" rather than the dread "references in popular culture".

Therefore, in the next edit, I removed the whole lot.

If sourced, credible, interesting information about non-trivial parodies can be added, go ahead and add it. -- Hoary (talk) 05:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox confusions

The infobox conflates the original book (when it claims it was published in 1977) and at least one specific US edition of the English translation (when it gives the ISBN). It names the book that this book was "followed by" but doesn't indicate what "follow" means in this context. And most amazingly it gives the book as a reference for the number of pages in the book.

I can't fix this myself as I don't know how it should be fixed. Also, I'd be inclined simply to remove the infobox, which I don't see has helpful even if made consistent. -- Hoary (talk) 08:33, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about that. I'm whittling away the inconsistencies...don't worry, I'll get them. Thanks for the comments...I'll use them when I fix this. BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 16:51, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think it needs any more clarification now? Any suggestions? Thanks! BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 05:21, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's much better now. Good. However, how is that other book "next"? -- Hoary (talk) 05:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's a chronological sequal per se, but the article (The Gas We Pass) says that this one was the prequal. I think it has to do with the ordering of the My Body Science series. Do you think it should be kept? I really have no opinion one way or the other. BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 06:15, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Prequel in which sense? Particularly as this book is pretty much storyless. (Also, I don't rush to believe anything that I read at Wikipedia.....) -- Hoary (talk) 06:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's gonna go now. *Goodbye, little so-called sequal! Be free!* BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 06:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Good good. -- Hoary (talk) 07:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency

Of a different kind. . . .

However, the text inconsistently states that because "[a]ll living things eat", "[e]veryone [p]oops"

I'm lost. Where's the inconsistency? -- Hoary (talk) 05:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Removing that :) BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 06:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think he meant incontinence -- anonymous jokester. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.246.67 (talk) 09:41, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

On the title image of the book is pictured an apple. This is misinformation since apples do not "poop".85.210.79.231 (talk) 06:43, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did read an amazon.com review at which point someone brought up that fact. However, I haven't been able to find any credible sources about a 'controversy' surrounding this. Do you have some? BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 20:48, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The book never states that apples poop. Apples cause poop and are therefore relevant to the illustration. Or perhaps the illustrator extremely dislikes apples and thinks that they taste like poop. Why must it be a "controversy"? -- 67.42.107.14 (talk) 21:16, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
