A bit off beat but a stumper.

How come when you fart, rip ass, or just let a lil stinker go in the shower it smells like a gallon of Serin nevre gas just came out your ass. This has always puzzled me... :confused:

Eh a bit of a dumb WTf question today but let's see you come up with a better one.

Closed space + high concentration water vapor + convection of air from said water vapor - filteration via clothing = green fumes

You wear clothes in the shower? What are you, a homophobic dorm rat or something?

Which reminds me, Daniel probably obliterated the famous "My Poo Smells Like Gasoline" thread.

bakerboy, you're not a math major, are you? the - sign means to subtract, take away, or remove. At least that what it means where I come from ;)

I must be keeping company with 4th graders too much these days because that actually made me laugh out loud.

On a related (and gross) note, my colleague emailed me this little gem today. You can't make this stuff up folks!!

Science You Can Use

"It all started with an enquiry from a nurse," Dr Karl Kruszelnicki told listeners to his science phone-in show on the Triple J radio station in Brisbane. "She wanted to know whether she was contaminating the operating theatre she worked in by quietly farting in the sterile environment during operations, and I realised that I didn't know. But I was determined to find out."

Dr Kruszelnicki then described the method by which he had established whether human flatus was germ-laden, or merely malodorous. "I contacted Luke Tennent, a microbiologist in Canberra, and together we devised an experiment. He asked a colleague to break wind directly onto two Petri dishes from a distance of five centimetres, first fully clothed, then with his trousers down. Then he observed what happened. Overnight, the second Petri dish sprouted visible lumps of two types of bacteria that are usually only found in the gut and on the skin. But the flatus which had passed through clothing caused no bacteria to sprout, which suggests that clothing acts as a filter.

"Our deduction is that the enteric zone in the second Petri dish was caused by the flatus itself, and the splatter ring around that was caused by the sheer velocity of the fart, which blew skin bacteria from the cheeks and blasted it onto the dish. It seems, therefore, that flatus can cause infection if the emitter is naked, but not if he or she is clothed. But the results of the experiment should not be considered alarming, because neither type of bacterium is harmful. In fact, they're similar to the 'friendly' bacteria found in yoghurt.

"Our final conclusion? Don't fart naked near food. Alright, it's not rocket science. But then again, maybe it is?"

Anyone care to discuss why this was a bad experiment and why the conclusions are wack?

Meanwhile, on the topic of "interesting science" the annual Ig Nobel prizes were awarded last week (see link)

Problems with the "experiment".

1) No Controls (Where's the "no exposure to flatus petri dish?)
2) Insufficient trials (one example for each exposure type is not an experiment - but it indicates an approach to one)

Yeah...I guess you could say their protocols for the experiment really...well, stink. :rolleyes:
