Italian researchers have figured out that a simple breath test can accurately detect at least some forms of colon cancer 75% of the time. Now I don't know how expensive this would be--I'm sure the capital investment could be high--but as the son of someone who died from this disease, I'd be willing to make a trip to Rochester (or hey, even Italy) to help them figure out what the rate of false positives would be.
And I have to admit that I wondered whether the test could be even more effective if you fed the tool with flatulence. (and would a good bowl of chili the day before throw it off?)

"Blow into this tube" does have a better sound to it than "Bend over".
Italy might be preferable...
