In summary, a conversation about Brussels sprouts and gorillas at a zoo turned into a discussion about the distaste for Brussels sprouts and the humorous aspect of gorilla farts. One person finds it cruel to feed Brussels sprouts to the gorilla, while another expresses a dislike for the vegetable. However, someone else finds the idea amusing and suggests adding cayenne to make it more appealing. The conversation ends with a comparison of other foods that cause gas.

Do zookeepers get their education from an ad on matchbook covers? How else could you explain them thinking that Brussels sprouts are a treat? It deeply offends me that those things are on my planet. They, along with cauliflowers and broccoli, should be eradicated for all time. (Well, keep a few seeds in cryogenic storage in case we ever have to engage in biological warfare with aliens.)

This part of the article is hilarious: "the gorilla farts caused horror among people around them." This makes me curious as to why danger doesn't like brussel spouts... sounds right up his alley if you'd add cayenne.

Woolie, that might very well be the funniest song that I've heard this side of Ween ('Piss Up a Rope', 'Japanese Cowboy', etc.)

There are plenty of things that I do like that make me fart, such as beer and cabbage rolls. Why would I eat something that tastes like it had been filtered through a moose?
