Seriously, in the history of the world, someone, somewhere, must have been killed over an inappropriate fart. Be it for farting in front of a King, or in the air space of a gun-slinger, it must have happened at least once.

YES, In WW2 the Air Force estimated that around 1000 to 2000 airman were killed due to flatulence. The reason is that B-17 bombers were not pressurized, so when bomber crews operated at 20,000 feet, the gas would expand and rupture their intestines.

Am...present it if you like but you might sound like a rambling conspiracy theorist with somewhat anti semitic propaganda on the side. but there are plenty people who agree with you. Not being mean and sorry for the rude answers you got from some people, I used to think a lot about this sort of stuff and there are even some conspiracy theories I agree with! But if you read up on this stuff you will see there are agendas from all sides. And its pretty much fact now that governments want a form of NWO, they have explicitly mentioned it. But the whole jews rule the world thing...you'll have to get some evidence to support that. Apparently its ok when white european imperialists rule the world but when Jews are in charge of something it is a big conspiracy. One of the big contradictions of our time. And one that hitler capitalised on. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors, and there are definately things we little people don't know about, influences and big business and financing corporations do have a lot of power, but just so you know that your 'brain fart' isn't so unique.

Don't know for sure about farts being the cause of a killing but it reminds me of the story that John Wesley Hardin once killed a man for snoring. I don't doubt flatulence has been the source of some insult at some time requiring the death of the perpetrator.

Reyes Olivares was charged with murder in Las Vegas, Nev., despite his defense in October that his construction-foreman-victim was a sorcerer who put a spell on him with his flatulence. [Las Vegas Review-Journal, 10-18-05]

You've answered your own question, and I agree with you.
One of the Tales of the Arabian Nights runs something like this. I read it 59 years ago, so my memory is vague. An Arab, whom I'll call Abu Hassan, was a court celebration when he had the misfortune to fart. In his humiliation he fled the town and was gone for twenty years. When he returned, he was conversing with a townsman and mentioned leaving in the year 992. "Ah, yes," said the townsman, "that was the year that Abu Hassan farted."
"Alas," said Abu Hassan, "my misfortune has become a date."

In addition to Anobium's answer, there is also a story highlighting Elizabeth I's sense of humour.
The Earl of Oxford accidentally let out a fart while bowing to the Queen. He was so ashamed that he left the country for seven years. When he judged it safe to return, he presented himself to Elizabeth again - whereupon, her eyes dancing, she said, "My lord, I had forgot the fart!"
I've not heard of any executions, though, but wouldn't be surprised if Vlad Tepes had had someone impaled for it. (Or anything else appropriate.)

there seem to be so many sadistic, psychotic people in the world ( past and present) that it sems likely that some poor beggar has been killed over a careless fart. probablky they were going to be killed anyway ( eg. in a concentration camp, where any whim of some people could have meant death), so they were possibly getting 'mercy' really. what a sad thought eh?

I don't know if anyone has been murdered, but there may have been suicides. I was on an airplane once and someone farted. I was ready to jump out of the plane.

I could defiantly see Caligua executing a courtier, eunuch, hell anyone for farting in his presence. I mean the guy made his horse a Senator, slept with his sister and thought he was God( that's the short list). Yeah, I'm sure he probably did, and there were probably other mad monarchs who did as well.

I once killed a man with a fart. Well, maybe killed is too strong a word, but it did make him good and crazy.

One general who became pharoah of Egypt did that to show hs defiance of the present administration. Many heads rolled after that flaulence taht began a war. Roman Emperor Claudius made a law that it was OK to do such things at state banquets that might last hours when one of his pals nearly died from holding in his gas all evening.
