    Hey, cool! Now whenever I need an extra 15 minutes of time to finish my compiles on those long-haul flights, all I need do is open the tank, hold the laptop to my arse, let one rip, and away we go ...

    Make for a nice conversation starter too!

    "Hey, did I just see you fart at your laptop?"

    "Yeah! Cool, isn't it!"
