Yahh the article said farted not sharted...

At least there isn't a My Little Pony in the jar.

What? This isn't even remotely true. Standard glass blocks half of UV at best (UVB), and it's the less harmful half.

methane does not have a smell. most hydrocarbons don't. that's why they put smelly stuff (mostly thiols, which are very smelly sulphur compounds) into butane, gasoline, etc.

*Tearing ~~love~~ butt apart

I say that every time I hear this song too hahaha.

You're gonna catch a cold,

From the ice inside your hole.

I remember sitting in the hall during school as a second grader taking to a friend. I said, "I wonder if you farted in a balloon if it would float." A teacher overheard me and scolded me about it, for some reason.

I think its because while its under water it doesn't have a chance to diffuse into a larger volume of air -- normally farts are pretty dilute by the time it makes it to anyone's nose.

My brother used to fart in a tennis ball can and hold me down and make me smell it. I agree, contained farts are awfuler.

That's the same way they did it on Mythbusters.

Thank you for your contributions to science

What about the other odor producing compounds? From wikipedia:

Hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan (also known as methanethiol), dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide are present in flatus.

This guy farts

My dreams have been shattered.

So if I farted into a vaccum sealed bag... I could save it then?

There is a reasonable amount of oxygen in farts? Really?

Mmm myess, I detect a subtle nuttiness mmmhhmhmm exquisite mmmm

Fartspoon > poopknife.

Hey sweetie, would you like anymore fart mousse?

Yeah, they didn't fart in that jar, shart maybe...
