It's your last fart. Ever.
Now, as an exercise:
1. What is the gaseous composition of the typical fart?
2. What would the volume be of a 5 gram fart, assuming a person is at
sea-level (noting that PV=nRT)?
REPLY: Atheists are highly religious people too , you know ; in
fact, they have an enormous amount of Faith and far far greater than
what a Christian requires. The type of Faith an atheist has is akin
to a house not needing a Designer/Engineer/Builder --- just all the
raw materials in roughly the same area combined with a whole bunch of
time , strong winds and other natural phenomina which came about for
no good reason, and an exceeding dose of continual luck , ad
infinitum. Its a Faith which i sure lack im afraid which is why i
find atheists so admirable and optimisitic (despite taking virtually
everything for granted and living a defeatist life).
xxein: I don't have that answer, but I can provide you with the
extent of fart propagation.
I was in a single-story building under construction that was roughly
200x40 ft. It had openings for doors and windows not yet installed.
The typical spacing of the windows was about 25 ft.
Three of us were the only ones there at the time. I was roughly 100
ft. away from the others. I can't give you what ethnic food might
have been eaten, but one (I know who) farted.
It was get out or puke.
To this day (some 30 yrs. later) it remains vivid in my memory.
5 grams is nothing compared to that. It must have been a kg.
Your silly claim is untrue, but you knew that, since you have been
corrected on it in the past.

Farts are lighter than air.
So, when you fart, your weight goes up.

All the muscles relax but farts seem rare and other releases of metabolic
residue are also fairly rare. I've picked up quite a few dead bodies and
worked with a couple hundred while in collage and working for a FBS
(Mortician to you and literally, Fucking Body Snatcher , to me.)
Quite.

Doesn't look good for your theory. The answer is 7 Liters. Our lungs
have roughly a 1 L volume, our digestive systems have considerably
less.
How this was done?
Methane GMW=16 g/mole
Standard volume: 22.4 Liters/mole
The lost in mass: 5 g.
I have suspicions about the way the measurment was made.
1) Was the body hooked to an IV when the person died?
Contractions could have forces a small quantity of liquid down
the tubes.
2) Was the change of mass measured immediately at the time of death?
Maybe it was measured a few hours later, allowing dehydration to
occur.
3) Bloating with hydrogen gas or methane gas caused by putrefying.
Buoyancy causes a force that lifts the body up. Again, this would
take a few hours.
4) Gross error.
I don't think the balance was zeroed correctly.
I am so ashamed. I missed that.
Does not matter as the gas would have been compressed before release and may
well have been more dense than air.
I doubt it. To be denser than air, a gauge pressure of at least 13
pounds per square inch would have been neceesary. That's 13 pounds per
square inch more than the surrounding pressure. That would ruptured
the person's organs before he died. And set off a sound everyone in
the hospital would hear.
On the other hand, there is that legend of the banshee's wail. I
wonder....

If there WAS a last fart, it wouldn't change the weight. A balloon
that's filled with air and placed on a scale would weight the same as an
empty one (well, ALMOST exactly. It'd be on the order of micrograms
difference due to the air in the balloon being pressurized slightly and
thus being ever so slightly denser.)
Farts are mostly methane (CH4) which has a different density to a 4:1
nitrogen-oxygen mixture (air), you are comparing apples with glass marbles
mixed with oranges. It will change the weight, although 5 grams sounds
suspicious. I leave it to the chemists to give you a better estimate.
Farts are quantized. They come in discrete (sometimes indiscreet) fart
packets.
Love,
Jenny
Hmmm....
1) is the silent whoosh.
2) blub, blub, blub is a wave function.
3) ppppppp, is a quantized emission.
We need a general theory of fartitivity, possibly a
unified theory of fartitivity that includes the mass
and stress of the ass.
Ken
I'm no chemist, but the values at STP are:
Air - molecular weight = 29; density = 1293g/m^3
Methane - molecular weight = 16.043; density = 717g/m^3
What you make of them is up to you.

As a chemist. I don't currently have any plans on measuring the

question, but feel free to calculate the results based on a density of
air at STP of 1.29 kg/m3 and methane of 0.717 kg/m3

Say Bob, <Bob>,
Ever heard of spontaneous combustion of
a human body?
Suppose you're in a formal occasion like a
best man at a wedding and you feel a fart
coming, well you snug the cheeks so it
doesn't happen. Now I ask, where did the
fart go?
Well I figure there's got to be a theory of
the conservation of farts, i.e. it wasn't
destroyed but it was absorbed, likely into
the body.
So a seriously anal retentive person would
have a large amount of stored farts.
(I think that's why non-smokers fear smokers,
poof, and they might get lit up).

PS: I understand you cannot smoke within 10'
of govmonk workers, for that reason.

You've never met Absorba the Farta ?
Thank you.
As an analyst. I don't currently have any plans on discovering why you
are responding to me or why you hallucinate I have a question.
You mean a 20' fart philled baloon would lift me off the
ground?
Don't you remember the prison escape movie where they did that? (Dry
cleaning bags & kitchen stove gas.)
In any case, the 5 grams is probably just urine that dried before they did
the second weighing. It comes out quite warm. Almost all of it. And the
other stuff too.
Yes, you're right in that I wasn't allowing for the difference in
density. Methane is around 700g/m^3 or about .7g/liter. Air is about
1.2g/liter. An average fart is probably around the 1-2 liter range. So
the difference would be in the area of around .5-1g difference in
weight. You'd need about 14 liters (or around 3.75 gallons) of farting
to be in the area of 5g difference in weight.
I doubt if much peer research has been done in the area of average
"fart volumes", although I do remember as a kid passing gas underwater
and watching the bubbles.

The term 'human bean' comes to mind :-)
Anaerobic bacteria do not die when the symbiotic host animal does, they go
on digesting the eaten food in the gut and then the meat that is the gut,
producing the phenomenon we refer to as "rotting". Corpses become bloated
with gas and stink. Bacteria that are challenged by antibiotics such as
penicillin
and antibodies in the bloodstream are free to reproduce when the heart stops
and proceed to eat the deceased animal.When that happens in the living
animal
we call it "ill". Even now you are being eaten alive on the inside as
biochemical
war is waged between the invaders and defenders.
MRSA, the so-called "superbug", is methicillin resistant staphylococcus
aureus,
and that is regular staphylococcus aureus which has evolved a resistance to
methicillin used to treat it.
"Staphylococcus aureus is a species of bacterium commonly found on the skin
and/or in the noses of healthy people. Although it is usually harmless at
these sites, it may occasionally get into the body (eg through breaks in the
skin such as abrasions, cuts, wounds, surgical incisions or indwelling
catheters) and cause infections. These infections may be mild (eg pimples or
boils) or serious (eg infection of the bloodstream, bones or joints)."

The vital lung capacity (the difference between breathing fully in and
fully out) of the average male is around 4.7 liters. Taking a deep
breath causes a very noticeable change in the shape of the chest and
abdomen. I don't think anyone's farts are of such a volume as to make
that huge of a difference (otherwise people's pants would be falling
down left and right...er, wait a sec...*looking at the typical teen
male*...scratch that hypothesis<g>)
Ask that question to mikey painter. He's an expert on the partial pressure of
air, or farts for that matter.

Quite some time ago I pointed out that almost any high school physics
student or any (in the old days) Scuba diver would know one of the myriad
reasons a flood did not happen.
If the flood covered the tallest mountain of 15 cubits or even only covered
hill about 300 feet tall, the partial pressure of O2 would have killed all
humans and most other animals, even if they didn't start a little fire.
Apparently Earl the engineer had never heard of Dalton's law of partial
pressures and/or could not do the simple calculations required.
He trots it out now and again much more often then he brings out his
"scientific "reason why the human body is proof of design (that one was a
lie of commission, while his other was a lie of omission.)

Heeheeheeheeheehee.
The interesting matter elaborated in that Polish discussion, is the
repetition of the same experiment on animals. The point is that we
have thousands of veterinary clinics in the world, almost all of which
have accurate scales, and almost all of which "put to sleep" hundreds
of various old animals (e.g. dogs, cats, etc.). Thus, for veterinary
doctors do NOT constitute any difficulty to place an animal which they
are just "putting to sleep" on a scale and then watch what happens
with the weight of this animal at the moment of death. To prevent the
"escaping gases" explanation, it is possible to place an animal into a
plastic bag. This should provide a range of answers which we do NOT
know from the original research on this subject completed in the
Duncan Hospital in 1909. For example it should provide the answer why
the loss of weight at the moment of death is NOT proportional do the
bodily weight (e.g. perhaps it is proportional to the intelligence of
a given dying creature, or to the number of reincarnations that this
creature went through).
The "theory of everything" called the Concept of Dipolar Gravity (see
the totaliztic web page named "dipolar_gravity.htm") states that every
animal have a soul. Thus, the weighting of animals at the moment of
death should provide the same data as the weighting of people. The
findings of the Concept of Dip[olar Grawvity are also confirmed by
experimental research completed on the "death flash" - which also is
emited by every animal and even by every insect.
It would be interesting to see what would yield the experiments on the
weight loss at the moment of death completed on animals. Is there any
veterinary doctor amongst the readers?

No, the "theory of everything" is called the Concept of Unlimited Stupidity
and it states that no matter what stupid shit one reads on the Internet,
there is always shit that is almost infinitely stupider.
Take your posts, for example. They're as batshit stupid as they can be, but
odds are that tomorrow there will be another idiot posting even more stupid
crap, even though right now that hardly seems possible.
