Weird Flatulence Science

The Newton Blog at RealClearScience reports five things you probably didn't know (and maybe didn't want to know) about farts:

1. There are three main fart smells.
2. The average fart is roughly 100 milliliters in volume and lasts approximately two seconds.
3. There is a way to make your farts (mostly) odorless.
4. Women's farts smell worse.
5. Red meat kicks up a stink.
6. Holding in your farts won't kill you but it won't be comfortable either.

Just imagine, every fart helps destroy the ozone layer.
