Joseph Pujol (June 1, 1857 – August 8, 1945), better known by his stage name Le Pétomane (, French pronunciation: [ləpetɔman]), was a French flatulist (professional fartist) and entertainer. He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to seemingly fart at will. His stage name combines the French verb péter, "to fart" with the -mane, "-maniac" suffix, which translates to "fartomaniac". Read more on Wikipedia
