There seem to be a lot of people here asking questions that show a gross misunderstanding of the concepts involved. I think someone's trolling. There's only so many times you can repeat that 0.99... is 1 because that's how real numbers work before every idiot grasps it, going beyond it is just trolling, pure and simple. Please keep this in mind when replying to correct the n-th poster who seemingly is either eight years old or didn't read any of the precending comments.

The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts.
One may wonder why fart gas travels downward toward the anus when gas has a lower density than liquids and solids, and should therefore travel upwards.
The intestine squeezes its contents toward the anus in a series of contractions, a process called peristalsis. The process is stimulated by eating, which is why we often need to poop and fart right after a meal. Peristalsis creates a zone of high pressure, forcing all intestinal contents, gas included, to move towards a region of lower pressure, which is toward the anus. Gas is more mobile than other components, and small bubbles coalesce to from larger bubbles en route to the exit. When peristalsis is not active, gas bubbles may begin to percolate upwards again, but they won't get very far due to the complicated and convoluted shape of the intestine. Furthermore, the anus is neither up nor down when a person is lying down.

I can make my own farts by swallowing air.
How do you explain that?

I know lighting farts has probably been mentioned to you before, and you might just dismiss this comment, but serious, lighting your farts fucking rocks.

My friend was able to do that. He did it all day once, then he got really nasty diarreah (sp?).
