Search doesn't work well on this forum (possibly supposed to be that way?), but I'm sure there was a thread on this domain. Anyway, I was going to post this in reply.
-------
An average Fart is 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane & 4% oxygen. Farts can travel at speeds of 10 feet [3m] per second. A person produces about half a litre [1 pint] of Farts a day
Women fart as much as men.
The gas that makes Farts stink is hydrogen sulphide. This gas, which is less than 1% of the make of a Fart, contains sulphur, the smelly component. Foods that cause smelly Farts include beans, cabbage, cheese, eggs, fizzy drinks. Most people pass gas about 14 times a day.
Farts contain the flammable gases hydrogen & methane. The proportions of these gases depend largely on the bacteria that live in the colon which digest food that has not previously been absorbed in the gut. There is some danger associated with igniting flatulence. But students & soldiers don't seem to care.
