Subj: Could a fart that causes butthair to scuff together generate enough of
an electrostatic charge to create an electrical shock?

a) a fair amount of butthair would be involved.
b) the electrical shock would just have to be enough to register in nerve
endings as a shock... not necessarily enough to blast someone across the
room.

also, are there any energy applications to this phenomenon if it exists?

Cheers!

That could be a "MythBusters" episode
