Do farts know where they come from?

A fart is the cry of an imprisoned turd.  I'm not sure if the actual fart knows where it came from, but the turd apparently does, if it's screaming to get out.

Flatulence is the presence of a mixture of gases known as flatus produced by symbiotic bacteria and yeasts living in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals. Flatulence is released under pressure through the anus, often with a characteristic sound and offensive odor. Releasing flatulence is colloquially known as farting.\n\nThe average human releases 0.5 to 1.5 litres (1 to 3 U.S. pints) of flatus in 12 to 25 episodes throughout the day. The primary constituents of flatulence are the non-odorous gases nitrogen (ingested), carbon dioxide (produced by aerobic microbes or ingested), and hydrogen (produced by some microbes and consumed by others), as well as lesser amounts of oxygen (ingested) and methane (produced by anaerobic microbes). Odors result from trace amounts of other components (often sulphur containing, see below).\n\nNitrogen is the primary gas released. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components, are flammable, and so flatulence is susceptible to catching fire. Not all humans produce flatus that contains methane. For example, in one study of the feces of nine adults, only five of the samples contained bacteria capable of producing methane. Similar results are found in samples of gas obtained from within the rectum. The gas released during a flatus event frequently has a foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that are the result of protein breakdown. The incidence of odoriferous compounds in flatus increases from herbivores, such as cattle, to omnivores to carnivorous species, such as cats. Flatulence odor can also occur when there is a number of bacteria and/or feces in the anus while being expelled.\n\nCauses\nIntestinal gas is composed of 90% exogenous sources (air that is ingested through the nose and mouth) and 10% endogenous sources (gas produced within the digestive tract). The exogenous gases are swallowed (aerophagia) when eating or drinking or during times of excessive salivation (as might occur when nauseous or as the result of gastroesophageal reflux disease). The endogenous gases are produced as a by-product of digesting certain types of food. Flatulence producing foods are typically high in polysaccharides (especially oligosaccharides such as inulin) and include beans, milk, onions, sweet potatoes, cheese, cashews, broccoli, cabbage, Jerusalem artichokes, oats, yeast in breads, etc.\n\nIn beans, endogenous gases seem to arise from oligosaccharides, carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion. These pass through the upper intestine largely unchanged, and when they reach the lower intestine, bacteria feed on them, producing copious amounts of flatus (McGee 1984 pp.257–8).\n\nIn the case of those with lactose intolerance, intestinal bacteria feeding on lactose can give rise to excessive gas production when milk or lactose-containing substances have been consumed.\n\nInterest in the causes of flatulence was spurred by high-altitude flight and the space program; the low atmospheric pressure, confined conditions, and stresses peculiar to those endeavours were cause for concern (McGee, 1984 pp.257–8).\n\nDietary\nCertain spices counteract the production of intestinal gas, most notably cumin, caraway and the closely related ajwain, turmeric, asafoetida (hing) and konbu kelp (a Japanese seaweed). Many people report that by reducing intake of most refined carbohydrates (such as rice, pasta, potatoes and bread), the amount of flatulence may decrease significantly. The water-soluble oligosaccharides in beans that contribute to production of intestinal gas can be reduced through a regime of brief boiling followed by a long period of soaking, but at a cost of also leaching out other water-soluble nutrients. Some legumes also stand up to prolonged cooking, which can help break down the oligosaccharides into simple sugars. Fermentation also breaks down o

Your farts will smell minty fresh! You and the yellow poop guy should hook up!

Probably because of the funny noises and the funny faces that soon follow the funny noises.\n\nBut they are never farts you hear ~ they are "barking spiders" ~ didn't your Mom teach you anything.  Sheesh!

Poop stinks as a result of the products of bacterial action. Bacteria produce smelly, sulfur- or nitrogen-rich organic compounds such as indole, skatole, and mercaptans, and the inorganic gas hydrogen sulfide. These are the same compounds that give farts their odor.

It is. In college we called them Blue Daggers.\nA fart is methane gas.  Carefull of the 'family jewels'

Funny...\n\nI think the smell you are describing is directly related to a fart..\n\nSeriously..\n\nWhen you eat different things, does it not make your Farts smell differently. \n\nThink. \nWhat does a beer fart smell like??\nHow about when you eat beans?\nWhat does it smell like when your Golden retriever eats beans??? Whoa...\n\nGarbage in, garbage out. \nIt either leaves out the anus or it leaves through your pee pee...\nIt takes with it what your body does not need.\n\nFor the record, Mine Urine smells wierd when I take an antibiotic.\nThat smell is much different than when I take a strong vitimin. \nDid ya notice it changes color too?\n\nI wonder, if small paricles of your urine are floating around in the air when you pee so that you can smell it, Are germs floating around so you can inhale them too?\n\nCould you get sick by smelling MY urine??\n\nWhy would you want to go around smelling urine?\n\nGADS, I think I will pee sitting down for now on and flush 4 times.

yes there is and a human can die from it's own fart. fart is a gas, not oxygen, one man died because he was farting in his sleep and he didn't have any kind of oxygen in his room, he only had fart gas and it killed him. Some people also have combusted from fart.

Because it closer to the begining of the digestive journey.   When a fart comes out - it has had to go through the intestines and it picks up all the stinks that are in there!!  The gases get more noxious if you have a stomache ache too - for some reason it just rots in there and really wreaks everyone out when you pass it.

hahaha rofl well i think the fart/scent particles move with it.  Like a stink trail on a skunk's a** in these cartoons.  So it will smell where you are coming from and where you are going

The Back Seat Fart - This is a fart that occurs only in automobiles. It is identified chiefly by odor. The Back Seat Fart can usually be concealed by traffic noise as it is an eased-out fart and not very loud. But its foul odor will give it away, due to the way air moves around in a car. It is often followed by someone saying, "Who farted in the back seat?" \n\nThe Crowd Fart - The Crowd Fart is distinguished by its very potent odor, strong enough to make quite a few people look around. The trick here is not to identify the fart but the farter. This is almost impossible unless the farter panics, and starts a fit of coughing or starts staring at the ceiling or the sky as though something up there fascinates him. In which case he is the one. Very common. \n\nThe Relief Fart - Sound or odor don't matter on this one. What matters is the tremendous sense of relief that you have finally farted. Some people will even say, "Wow, what a relief." Very common. \n\nThe Skillsaw Fart - A truly awesome fart. It vibrates the farter. Really shakes him up. People back away. It sounds like an electric skillsaw ripping through a piece of half-inch plywood. Very impressive. Not too common. \n\nDO YOU FIND THIS OFFENSIVE??? lol

This is the funniest question I have seen yet.  I am sitting here at my desk at work and crying this is so funny.  \n\nBy the way, my butt says "WHAAT!" when I fart.\n\nMy daughter & I went into a public restroom at a Best Buy one time and I thought we were the only ones in there.  All of a sudden I heard a "Hellloo" fart and I answered back verbally with a "Hellloo".  I heard my daughter giggling and I realized it was not my daughter but the lady next to her.\n\nThe "Gilligan" is the funniest ever.\n\nDon't you just love the answers from the girls who act like they never fart.

easy\n\nchemical process, when we process foods we divide the food with the stomach acids, this creates a chemical efect that relises butane and other gases in your intestine, when you fart, you can truly light up your fart and it will burst..\n\nlol but dont do it with out underwear or you will have bad experiences :(

Heck no, reason being is the dog's farts are much worse than mine! Don't you just love to go to the supermarket and find an empty aisle, let one rip and take off...wait for the little old lady to wheel her cart into that aisle and then come back and make sniffing sounds and give her a dirty look? Oh well, farts are a fascinating subject.

No but sometimes if I laugh too hard and long I start to fart.  The other night I was watching something so funny on YouTube.  I watched it over and over and laughed so much I had to run to the bathroom and crap.  I don't know if I would have had to go anyway or if the excessive laughing brought it on.

Yeah.  Farting count ?
