9 surprising facts about farts.

I was disappointed that they did not address something I've always noticed, that underwater farts seem to smell more than open air farts.  Anyone else ever notice that?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I am so "relieved" to know that me, and my dogs have a healthy, complex ecosystem living in our intestines. :dance:

Brings up another question. Should one fart when in the fairway, or on the green? It might relate to better approach shots, or better putting. Personally I could use some help in the putting department. :roll:

Slow day in Colorado eh? :-D

I have personally witnessed #6 along with the rest of my High School Track team.  We called BS, Dave D. proved us wrong!  It was the strangest thing I saw in High School.

Wouldn't know, I've never smelled anything underwater :-P

I think it has something to do with scent-producing molecules or particles attach themselves to the moisture and thus travel better, but I couldn't actually explain the science behind it. I know that a dog's nose is wet because it helps them smell better and a refrigerator smells a heck of a lot worse when it's warm than when it's cold.

Aaahhh.. So that's been my problem all these years. It was around 15-20 years ago when I saw it.

"collected with the aid of 'gas-tight Mylar pantaloons.' "  - dear lord, thats gotta be an awful job.

anyways, i too have noticed that the fart released from beneath the water surface seems to be more potent.

Perhaps because in air the gas dissipates as soon as it is released whereas under water gas stays "concentrated" until it surfaces. Hence it would be more potent.

Perhaps it's the hydrogen in the water, and there is some mixing going on. :whistle:

Makes sense. It gets released much closer to your face.

I have actually done #6. It was back in the 80s when torn/frayed jeans were the rage. It didn't end well.
