The age old question...

This is a question that has perplexed people throughout the ages...for as long as there has been fire, men have probably wondered about this, especially once we knew what caused it...
Is a fart flammable????
Will it really ignite if exposed to an open flame? Now, both my dad AND my uncle claim to have lit one off, but I was not there to see it. I, myself, have not mustered up the courage to attempt it. I thought about doing a documented scientific experiment and solving this issue once and for all on film, but I don't think I would want to be the one doing the farting, and I CERTAINLY would not want to be the one holding the match while someone else let one go. LOL
Has anyone had any experience with this? Has anyone tried it? Did it flame up, or did it just blow the flame out like a candle? DO TELL???

that's rather odd...i saw these on youtube, well i believe they work, if fart can actually give a strong burning smell, then possibly yes, rather do it in the toiilet than in disgusting

There is an actual science experiment I saw in a textbook, showing you how to light a plastic bag full of fart. I heard you can get quite a big fire ball if you know what you're doing...
