Scorpion Shards: Star Shards Chronicles Series, Book 1

A few teenagers live bizarre lives. They seem to have special powers that drive them to do "bad" things. There is also some related special strengths. One teenager draws girls to be romantically attracted to him. Another can see many paths and thus use a small event to drastically change somebody's life. There are abilities to reverse entropy, age in reverse and other mixtures of good and bad. The kids try to get together. They have been fighting their powers, however, one eventually "gives in". They later discover that there are demons from an exploding star that possess them. They find they can "scare" them out by threat of death, but still remain with "good powers". It is an interesting take on super powers that can be both good and bad.

Does It Fart?: The Definitive Field Guide to Animal Flatulence

The book does as described. It goes through many different animals to answer the question of whether they fart. Some animals very clearly pass gas. (Most mammals fall into this group.) Some don't. (birds). There are also plenty of maybes. Plenty of small bugs seem to. There are fish which may be considered to pass gas. Some animals reuse it for various purposes. This seems like a good book to have by the toilet for reading while expelling gas.
