I'd like to submit this as "Thread of the Year". It was very informative and there as been no flaming or arguing in the thread.

Uh, when I swallow air, I tend to burp. I do however tend to breathe air quite regularly.

Why do farts make noise?
The sounds are produced by vibrations of the anal opening. Sounds depend on the velocity of expulsion of the gas and the tightness of the sphincter muscles of the anus.

That's actually wrong. The sound comes from the gluteus maximus cheeks flapping together. Next time you fart, hold your ass cheeks apart. Every single time you do it, you'll hear a whoosh of air but no fart noise. It's the cheeks, man, it's the ass cheeks.

Whereas it may be difficult for you to determine your daily flatus volume, you can certainly keep track of your daily numerical fart count. You might try this as a science fair project: Keep a journal of everything you eat and a count of your farts. You might make a note of the potency of their odor as well. See if you can discover a relationship between what you eat, how much you fart, and how much they smell.
Damn! Too bad I didn't read this years ago when I was still in school. I would have had a lot of fun with that science fair project!

We had a lot of garlic today, so I am in for a real treat when I crawl into bed with the (beloved) Hairy Fart Machine :Q ;)

My dad just released about 2-3 "morning thunders" in the other room. No wonder my mom wakes up early every day :D

When I get up to wipe my ass,
I like to pass a little gas;
It clears my hole
And dries the bowl
And shows I got a lotta class.
