Sweet Bliss was so kind to give us the link ... I copied and pasted the following information (see below ) from this site.

Stupid Facts - Fart Facts
Farts are created mostly by E. coli.
On the average a fart is composed of about 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, and 4% oxygen. Less than 1% is what makes them stink.
The temperature of a fart at time of creation is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Farts have been clocked at a speed of 10 feet per second.
A person produces about half a liter of farts a day.
Although they won't admit it, women fart as much as men.
Termites are the largest producers of farts.
Farts are flammable.
The word "fart" comes from the Old English "feortan" (meaning "to break wind").
Excess gas in the intestinal is medically termed "flatulence."

If you could get a tiny, very sensitive tape recorder and stick it inside your walls near wood, it would be unnecessary to pay a termite control company because on the tape recorder you'd hear all the little partying termites farting while they munched your wood.
I wonder how that clock speed at 10' per second was achieved. And yes, I can tell you for an absolute fact, farts are flammable.
