PPS -- how is a duvet really any different from a blanket? On my bed, I have a big comforter, flannel sheets, and light blanket (all of which I use to build a little nest everynight. And yes, I turn around three times before I curl up). Is there something special about a duvet that would offer me a fundamentally better sleep experience? And, if so, could I measure this quantitatively?

Erin and other curious parties, Well, if one farts in bed and is covered with a sheet and a blanket, the fart has only one direction in which to escape... through the top of the bed and past one's nostrils. However if one replaces his /her sheet and blanket with a duvet, the bottom of the duvet may be discreetly lifted up with one's foot in the event of a fart allowing said fart to escape without annoyance to the rester. This could be measured qualitatively with a cigarette lighter but may be quite dangerous. Quantitatively, I'm not so sure about ...perhaps with the correct equipment. Tim PS. Nope I don't fart in bed. But this technique can be used to eliminate sleeping partners farts also. PPS. Nope I no longer have any sleeping partners who fart either. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
