Things I want to know

I hope this will answer your question.

This is like experts exchange on farts

That's interesting. I was referring to pink eye

Do farts have lumps in them?

Don't be silly. Thats a shart.

I've just entertained myself by typing 'do farts' into google and seeing what the top suggested searches are. Am giggling like a schoolboy now.

So who's a silent farter and who's loud and proud?

In my experience blokes generally fart audibly whereas women can seemingly fart silently at will.

Obviously as blokes fart a lot women can usually blame the foul and throat gaspingly putrid stench they have silently let waft out on the poor cheekslap emitting bloke!

" Why are stinky farts generally warmer and quieter than regular farts?
(Question submitted by many, many people!)

Most fart gas comes from swallowed air and consists largely of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the oxygen having been absorbed by the time it reaches the anal opening. These gases are odorless, although they often pick up other (and more odiferous) components on the way through the bowel. They emerge from the anus in fairly large bubbles at body temperature. A person can often achieve a good sound with these voluminous farts, but they are commonly (but not always!) mundane with respect to odor, and don't feel particularly warm.
Another major source of fart gas is bacterial action. Bacterial fermentation and digestion processes produce heat as a byproduct as well as various pungent gases. The resulting bubbles of gas tend to be small, hot, and concentrated with stinky bacterial metabolic products. These emerge as the notorious, warm, SBD (Silent-But-Deadly), often in amounts too small to produce a good sound, but excelling in stench. "

So....

If the back doors were open on a large artic, on a very sensitive weigh bridge and I threw a radio controlled glider in - would it register as increased weight before it hit the 'cab' partition at the back?


Bing!

My answer is, in theory a tiny tiny bit because while it is not a closed system, the air would compress slightly as it is elastic, so the glider going in would not instantly displace air back out.

This thread is excellent.

[MaryPoppins]

This thread is excellent.

Not the complicated science stuff though, right? The stuff that sounds like they're talking about farts, but they're not. I don't think.

MP, just think 'glider' as a fart euphemism and you're fine.
