The Weekly World News throws a curveball this week and reports a story actually covered in magazines that have fact checkers and editorial standards. Marines in Afghanistan have been ordered not to fart audibly in the presence of Afghan allies, who find the practice offensive.

Okay, so maybe not.
I don't know if the military can actually create a breed of non-farting soldier. If so, it will rank right up there with the scientific effort it took to turn Steve Rogers into Captain America.
