Interesting And Funny Facts About Farts. by MAYOWAAK: 10:03am On Oct 01, 2013
Farts are caused by trapped air, which can come from many sources. Some of it is air that we have swallowed while chewing or drinking and some gas is produced by chemical reactions in our intestines or bacteria living in our guts.

A typical fart is composed of about 59 percent nitrogen, 21 percent hydrogen, 9 percent carbon dioxide, 7 percent methane and 4 percent oxygen. Only about one percent of a fart contains hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans, which contain sulfur, and the sulfur is what makes farts stink.

#Why farts make sound ?

Farts make a sound when they escape due to the vibrations of the rectum. The loudness may vary depending on how much pressure is behind the gas, as well as the tightness of the sphincter muscles .

#Why Do Farts Smell Bad?

Hydrogen sulfide is compound in farts that made them stink. The more sulfur-rich your diet is, the more terrible your farts will smell. Some foods contain more sulfur than others, like beans, cabbage, cheese and eggs can cause gas that will blow your nose.

#average person fart About 14 Times Per Day.

The average person produces about half a liter of farts every single day. In a study has proven that when men and women eat the exact same food, woman tend to have even more concentrated gas than men. If a person were to fart continuously for 6 years and 9 months, they would produce gas with the equivalent energy of an atomic bomb.

#Farts Have Been Clocked At A Speed Of 7 mph.

Though farts come out with varying velocities, we don’t typically smell them for about 10-15 seconds after letting them rip. This is because it takes that long for the odor to reach your nostrils.

#Farts Are Flammable

the methane and hydrogen in bacteria-produced farts make your gas highly flammable. This is why some people think it’s a funy trick to hold a lighter up to their bums and then produces a big burst of flame, but it is very dangerous.

#If You Hold Them In, They’ll Just Come Out When You Sleep.

Even if you clenched your butt and held them in all day, the gas will escape once you relax. What’s more relaxing than sleep?

#People Even Fart After Death.

Gasses will continue to escape from a body after death of person , this is due to the contracting and expanding of the muscles, which do not necessarily shut down immediately after death.

Reminds me of one day while I was chillin in the bank on one of the long seats provided for customers. Suddenly, I felt the seat rumble against my butt and it dawned on me that one of the 3 adults beside me just dropped air! My point: if you wanna fart on a shared seat, stand up! wink
