Apparently, manufacturing a single roll of TP takes 1.5lb of wood, and 37 gallons of water...just how big a bidet were you planning on using?

The water consumption content was just a polite lead-in to the real problem of an icy "finger of water" probing where it's most unwelcome.
In addition to the extended consequences of the event, it could cause a muscle-memory reflex that seals the orifice at the very approach to such a device.

Apparently, you can get warm water devices, even with integral hot air driers.
Fortunately, our bathroom does not have sufficient space to accommodate such!

I remember reading a scifi story about a guy who realized that the more perforations you put in a piece of paper, the stronger it got, based on the likelihood that it would tear on the perforations - ie: more perfs = stronger, until, by perforating until there was nothing left, he had something that would withstand an atomic bomb.

I actually have a supply of material in the above-mentioned state and would be willing to part with some of it for a nominal (cash!) fee.

Outstanding article, excellent description of workflow, great unit test documentation, but the source seems to be missing.

It was dumped.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Since you asked, here's the original essay on flatuelence first published in the 14th edition of the Merck Manual, 1982[^]:
Flatulence, which can cause great psychosocial distress, is unofficially described according to its salient characteristics:
- The “slider” (crowded elevator type), which is released slowly and noiselessly, sometimes with devastating effect;
- The open sphincter, or “pooh” type, which is said to be of higher temperature and more aromatic;
- The staccato or drumbeat type, pleasantly passed in privacy;
- The “bark” type (described in a personal communication) is characterized by a sharp exclamatory eruption that effectively interrupts (and often concludes) conversation. Aromaticity is not a prominent feature. Rarely, this usually distressing symptom has been turned to advantage, as with a Frenchman referred to as “Le Petomane,” who became affluent as an effluent performer who played tunes with the gas from his rectum on the Moulin Rouge stage.

Our QA Engineer's name is Ravi, as well. I wonder if he has an affinity for poop and fart? I must ask...not.

First name or last name? If last name, my money's on he's from South India. Does he also listen to and play classic rock tunes from the 70s?

First name, and I actually don't know if he is into classic rock like you. Will have to ask him some day.
I think I have mentioned before that you are a talented musician. Now, if you start producing rock music to the key of F(for fart) then my compliments might go away, as I run away.

Buy a Japanese toilet - not only do they supply a spray or a jet for more stubborn agglomerations but they heat it to your preferred temperature. As a side benefit they heat the seat as well.
You do need to check the temperature setting as the previous tenant may have set it to scalding, makes the cold jet of water seem pleasant.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I'd worry that the heat-for-the-seat is courtesy of Fukushima Daiichi Electric - permanently built into the seats materials.
