For those of you that will be farting any how in public please be careful.You may think you are doing people but you dont know you are doing your self.

Well, this is funny on one hand but on the other hand...... It's actually not.

Farts are actually flammable. A typical fart comprises 21% Hydrogen, 59% Nitrogen, 7% methane, about 9% Carbon (IV) Oxide and so on... Even sulfur is found in farts in the form of mercaptans I believe.

The Hydrogen and methane gases in farts give Farts their flammable nature so it's no surprise this happened.

When there's a build-up of flammable gases in the intestines, such can happen even during surgery. This is why we have pre-operative consultations to set all things right so as to avoid anything going wrong. Probably the docs didn't carry out a comprehensive pre-ops check. So sad.



So in summary, farts are indeed flammable and here's a fun fact, if you fart continuously for about 6 years and 9-10months or so, you will produce gas the with the energy equivalence of an Atomic Bomb!!! Looollll #fact

So plsssss... It's natural to fart, in fact, on the average, humans fart like 10-14 times a day... But, Mind your farts....

haba! did she drink kerosene?
