today's random musings

What is it about being in a shower that dramatically amplifies the pungency of a fart? Because I almost killed myself in the shower this morning. Once I came to, I started thinking about it. Is it the humidity, the heat or a combination of the two? Maybe it is just because it is such an enclosed space. Please, science guys, help me out here. Is there some formula? If that is indeed the case, then I really feel for those of you who live in the more humid areas of our country (and abroad for that matter).

It also gets me thinking in another direction. Maybe I should open a bakery and keep the humidity level in the 90% range. People would probably be ready to kill once they entered the store and smelled the fresh baked bread amplified to infinity.

Anyway, I propose an experiment. If everyone reading this today would kindly eat something tonight that makes you deadly. Beans, cauliflower, crab cakes.... whatever you need. Then in the morning before your shower rip a good one. Take a whiff and remember it. If possible, ask a loved one to also sample your handywork for an objective opinion. Then while in the shower, let another one go and compare. Post here afterwards (once your head clears) and let me know how it goes.

This is simultaneously the best and the worst idea i've ever heard for an experiment.

LMAO! I'd like to see the results of your experiment as I to have had some near death experiences in my morning shower.

It's definitely because it's an enclosed space. see - sticking your head under the covers after you fart.

One of my friends had what he called the "jackson experiment"... his son's name is jackson and he found it interesting how his son could poop in his diaper while eating. he wanted to see if we as adults could do it. our tests failed for the record.

I think its the heat.

When I was young and immature and I was driving my friends around... I would lock the doors and the power windows... crank up the heat in the car and let er rip! It's definately potent.

Good times.

I do this experiment everyday of the week. From all the cheap beer I drink and all the time I spend on the road every vehicle I've ever owned smells like farts. It's a combination of the heat and small space. Small space is self explanatory but I'll give you an example on the heat. Ever notice how a hot fart smells a lot worse? It's because I think there is a direct connection between temp/stink.

Now my wife's theory is that there are magic poot goblins that follow me around and hang to the back of my pants.


Oh at imcndn, I still pull that trick on the wife and kids.

Interesting. I will try the heat trick next time I am in the car with the wife. My favorite is getting up out of my recliner after letting a fart gestate for a few minutes in the cushion only to let it then follow me as I walk past the wife. ;)

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I had to share. Your sense of smell is best when the sinus passages are moist, I think the molecules are picked up better that way. Think about how poor your sense of smell is when the air is dry.

Heat enables higher humidity, and the enclosed space of the shower is the icing on the cake.
