Do insects pass flatulence? It's a rather twisted question, but the thought has often entered my mind.
Um . . . this might depend on how you define "flatulence." An insect's digestive system bears little resemblance to our own in its structural details, even if the basic process is the same. Flatulence in humans is largely due to the activity of bacteria in our intestines, releasing methane gas. But there are very few insects whose guts contain methane-producing bacteria. In a practical sense, therefore, the only insects for whom the answer is "yes" would be termites, some wood roaches, and a few wood-boring moth and beetle larvae.

McDonald's is expected to announce today that it will open its first McCafe gourmet coffee shop in the United States on Wednesday - complete with china cups, soft leather couches and even lace curtains - adjacent to a McDonald's restaurant in downtown Chicago.
This could be good! Or... it could be evil.
