Somebody sent me one of those circulating e-mails with "facts" you didn't know. One was that if you collected your farts for 9 years and six months, igniting the gas would equal an atomic bomb.
Dubious, I did some research (NASA has details on human flatulence output) and computed that this factoid was correct: but only because the U.S. made sub-kiloton nuclear munitions as small as 0.01 kT or smaller.
