"I know a lot about gas," says Dr. Michael Levitt, the American gastroenterologist who has unravelled much of what is known about human flatulence.

There was once an NPR story about intestinal gas and their expert was a guy named Dr. Colin Leakey. That was a funny moment.

Only certain people have bacteria in the gastric systems that produce methane, Dr. Levitt says. And only methane-producers can perform the time-honoured frat house trick of igniting a blue flame when they hold a match to an escaping fart.

I guarantee you that most people are those "certain people."

Sadly, I'm old enough to remember when talent was designated a Blue Angel, it was a very special thing.

The specialness must lie in those who actually try to do it. Everyone I've known who has tried has been able to ignite.

LOL We had a chessie for a long time. Whoever said you can’t smell when you’re asleep has never had a farting chessie!! I’m talking green and crawling, wake you from a dead sleep nasty.
The chessie is long gone. Now we have a long legged rat terrier. Every time she farts noisily, she turns around and sniffs her butt, looks at us accusingly, and moves to another couch or chair. By the 3rd or 4th time she does this, we’re in tears, laughing at her.

ROFL!! You owe me a new keyboard.

That is HILARIOUS!

But producing less gas might create another problem for women -- and the people around them. Levitt's research suggests women's flatulence is more ... aromatic.

I KNEW it!

Reading about it is not nearly as funny as seeing it! She has the body of a grayhound and is as flexible as a yoga instructor. I’ve seen her do this numerous times, and it gets funnier every time. She gets so upset. Deer meat seems to set her off the worst, so we try not to let her have any.
Sorry about the keyboard!
