10 Facts on Farts

[keeper]

1. Certain Foods Cause Farts to Smell



Specific foods like meat or eggs are known to increase the odor in gas due to the high levels of sulfur that they contain.



2. Farts are Flammable



Farts have the capability of lighting a flame, which will turn the flame blue if you actually try it.



3. The Sound of Farts is Determined By Muscles and Speed



Each fart often has a different sound if it's not let out slowly, which is mainly due to muscles and the speed at which it's released.



4. You'll Release 17 Quadrillion Farts in Your Lifetime



The average person releases gas 14 times per day, which equates to 17 quadrillion farts in a lifetime.



5. You'll Fart After You Die



Deceased individuals are even known to fart up to three hours after their death from gas that continues to escape the digestive tract



6. 99 Percent of Gas is Odorless



Although passing gas creates a bad smell, only one percent of the gas is what causes the odor due to sulfur in the body.



7. Women Fart Just as Much as Men



Men may be prone to rip several farts throughout the day, but women are just as gassy and release the same amount as the opposite gender.



8. Too Much Farting Can Be Due to a Lactose Intolerance



If you seem to fart multiple times each hour, it may be due to a lactose intolerance due to an inability to digest dairy and certain nutrients.



9. A Liter of Gas is Passed in Two Days



Gas is continuously being released from the body with an average of a liter passed every two days.



10. Gas Travels at 10 Feet Per Second



There's a reason why you may smell a funky odor in the room even if someone is sitting on the other side. Gas travels at 10 feet per second for a smell that makes its presence known.

Dont Fart Around in my thread

Haha, you forgot the fun side of farts...you can gas people in a full elevator or on a bus. Not to mention hot boxing someone by either running into their room/office, farting, closing the door on them or hot box your mate under the covers. I like to hug hubby or one of my kids and fart but keep hugging them making them smell it for as long as possible hehehe.

Holy crap!  My old male kitty just let one of the nastiest heavy farts I've never imagined that could possibly come from such  a small hole. He sleeps on a kitty pillow to the right of my head every night. So when he lets one rip it's sure to enter both nose And my mouth. Wth? How did he learn how to hotbox me?

If you've ever wasted time watching Jackass, you wouldn't ask. To say they employ juvenile humor is giving them too much credit, imo.
