Perhaps that explains why CTV (Canada's largest privately owned tv network) via the Canadian Press ran this enlightening article a few days ago.

From the Star article:
SLANG WORDS

FARTING FACTS
Blue angels: 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.
Musical toots: In the 1800s Frenchman Joseph Pujol apparently became so adept at controlling his flatulence flow he could sound musical notes. Called "le Petomane" – the fartiste – he was reputedly the highest paid performer in France at his prime.
Colonic explosions: In the early days of colonoscopies, attempts to burn off polyps in the colon ignited explosive hydrogen gas in the colon of several unlucky people, sometimes with tragic results. The colon-cleansing preparations people now take the night before a colonoscopy have solved the problem. Says Levitt: "I've never heard of an explosion in someone who's had a decent prep. But until they used these prep solutions, there was a problem with explosions."

Based on the discussion here, United Airlines has opted to be proactive by making modifications to their newly issued January 2008 safety cards:

Active charcoal filter in the seat - that might be a patentable idea!
The 737 seats do not, hence the lovely fragrance of the cabins.

Well, it depends in what class and/or type of aircraft you are... the other day, I was in C7 (E+) on a 319 and I swear the smell was coming from every direction. No way of telling who dun' it.

This thread is killing me. I'm ROFLMAO!
Too many great comments to reply to a quote.
I just hope new FT'ers don't visit this thread first. I wouldn't want them to think we were all a bunch of potty mouths.
