6How much exactly?

This might surprise you but on an average, a man farts at least 14 to 22 times a day. You might say that’s too much but often you don’t even notice when you are flatulent and pass gas without taking note. Also, remember that there is nothing abnormal about farting more than usual, as it is just a reaction of your body.

7They can light on fire

Do you know farts are flammable? Farts have gases like methane and hydrogen which are highly flammable. If you ever hold a lighter on your rear while farting, you may just light your fart on fire. There are countless jokes about flaming farts, but the fact is based on sound logic.

8Vegetarians fart more

It is a proven fact that people who are on a strict vegetarian diet experience more flatulence and scientists have accounted the green vegetables for it. Beans, specifically, have carbohydrates which are made of molecules too big to be absorbed by the small intestines, which is why they travel to the large intestine still intact. Thus their bacterias get mixed up with the gas and cause you to fart.
