_pulls_ Wow, can you believe it? I was just wondering what the gas law constant constant was and that fart just told me. He’s brilliant in more ways than one. Thanks Cecil! ---

So many people _claiming_ to know what happened, and yet no true culprit. Which leads me to one inescapable conclusion: _THE FARTER IS SOMEONE IN THIS VERY THREAD!_ Constable, bar the doors! But PLEASE, crack a window. ---

> [@Ponder Stibbons](#): > > I’m guessing it was [Trunk](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=269540). ::bows:: Actually, the other day I was lighting my grill and a little fart slipped out. We live in a row house and I looked around, ready to be embarassed if the neighbors were on their porch. But, what I realized was that I was ashamed, not of the farting, but because it was a little sissy “poof” fart, not a big, manly, lighting-the-grill fart. It was a tofu fart, not a steak fart. I suppose tofu probably makes better farts than steak, but you get my drift. ---

I take it that none of you have experienced a fart from someone who has colitis. Sweet Jesus, those things are killers. You need a hazmat team to make the room habitable again. ---

I have a young friend with cystic fibrosis. His farts are weapons. Deadly. Vile. Unbelievable! [hijack]He’s in surgery today, so while you’re laughing at farts, think of a funny little boy who would be laughing along with you. [/hijack] ---

No, the Eagles said the smell was “[warm](http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Hotel-California-lyrics-Eagles/2B90141C88155E454825686000219FCE),” but nothing about sweet. Now warm, I can understand… heck, sometimes they’re even _hot_. ---

Yes it was warm. Altho’ I believe that the sensation of warmth was caused by physical exertion. Specifically, by my mad scramble to locate a source of fresh air. ---
