Why do silent farts smell worse than loud ones???
I actually have a theory about this one:
1. Farts stink due to the presence of methane produced by the intestines breaking down organic matter.
2. Methane is quite flammable.
3. A loud fart is projected with more vigor and velocity than a silent one, therefore:
4. It's obvious to me that the velocity attained by a forceful "loud" fart creates enough friction to "burn off" some or all of the methane, thus reducing the odor-causing component of the fart.
Any science experts care to comment?
