I've never read G&P, more's the pity, but this sounds like a (USA) grade-school joke called "the fastest raper in Mexico!" Somehow I doubt it was inspired by old François... Scatological humor is admittedly juvenile, however amusing. No doubt Freud had something to say about this. Gadzooks!

Yup, Pantagruel is a peach (and a particularly ripe one, it has to be said). :-)

When I picked it up, the first thing I opened was Book 2, Chapter 7: "How Pantagruel Came to Paris, and the Lovely Library of Saint Victor", followed by a listing of said library's catalogue. A collection of texts like: "Fairy Tales of the Law", "The proper Method of Farting in Company" and "Making Money on Indulgences". Anyone who has never seen a copy of this classic should grab one.
