Fart ty Business

Someone farted in our office right after lunch break!!
I was on the brink of being stink to death!!!!!! As I look around, holding my breath, I notice it seems that the rest of my colleagues appear nonchalant..
I couldn't really tell who is the culprit..

Suddenly, the phrase being “stink to death” makes me wonder whether will we really be “stink to death by farts”? hmmm...

Lets see :
Fart
A Fart is created when the food enters the intestine, microbes and bacteria feed on the food. If the food can't be digested by the microbes, it is released as gas into the intestine. Swallowed air also contributes to this gas. The main gases of a fart are carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, some oxygen and a lot of methane. Carbon dioxide enters the intestine from swallowed air or from the blood. Carbon dioxide creates the bubbles while farting in a bathtub or pool. Nitrogen just adds more pressure and comes from swallowed air as well. Hydrogen is very flammable and light. The light weight causes the fart to float. Methane is another flammable gas that burns with a blue flame.

So why do the Fart stink so much!!
That’s because some of the microbes create sulfurous gasses such as Indole, Skatole, Hydrogen sulfide, Dimethyl Sulfide, Methyl Mercaptan and Methanethiol. Hydrogen Sulfide gives the legendary rotten eggs smell. Indole and Skatole give the other legendary poop smell. Dimethyl Sulfide gives a steamed vegetable type smell. Methyl Mercaptan gives a more musky smell. Different people have different quantities and mixtures of these gasses causing out smell.

Thus, in a nutshell, Fart basically will not kill a person by stinking them to kingdom come.

Hmmm, this part is interesting, do you know Man fart an average of 14 times a day releasing as little as one cup to one half gallon! Omigosh!! That’s horrible right! No wonder they are call 臭男人 (aka smelly man), for centuries.. hahah.. Quick all the gals out there, please show this article to the guys around us and tell them to stop silently “poisoning” us.. ;p
Just for info, Women fart an average of 7 times per day.

p/s : I've found this funny website that has names for all kinds of farts

the fart that i smelled could be under the category :
The S.B.D. Fart - S.B.D. stands for Silent But Deadly. This is no doubt one
of the most common farts that exists. No problem of identification with this one.
