That last bit just doesnt seem quite right, you know? Besides, lots of dieticians recommend lots of small meals throughout the day anyhow.

Depends completely on the cause. People with a very active gastrocolic reflex will notice more borborygmus after eating. JFW | T@lk 04:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, should someone add a cultural reference to Borborygmos the Magic: the Gathering character? --71.125.9.240 17:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing Snapple Real Facts reference; cannot be confirmed

I've removed the following:

;Trivia 
The definition is listed as Snapple 'Real Fact' #364.

The reason is that, in answer to a request for a list of their Real Facts, BrandsPeopleLove.com consumer relations declined to provide any corroboration. I wrote Your real facts are listed on Wikipedia, but cannot be verified because you don't offer a comprehensive list on your site. Please provide a list, or the "real facts" will need to be removed from Wikipedia. Thanks! Here's the reply I got.

That "plus multiple websites on true facts" statement worries me. This makes Snapple a third party reference, and facts cannot be confirmed from "multiple web sites" as a verified, reliable source. David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 18:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
