Mercaptans make the smell. Methane is odorless.

[Congressman Billybob]

I thought methane was a biologic product. I read somewhere that indications of methane in Earth's atmosphere's signature would tell any aliens who visited, thousands or millions of years ago, that there was life on Earth. And the source of that would be termite flatulence, since they were one of the earliest widely prevalent life forms.

Did I miss remember all that?

"Methane is odorless."

Not entirely.

I guess smell depends on what kind of methane you're talking about and who or what's producing it.

Mercaptans make the smell?!! You people who always blame it all on the male. I wasn't born yesterday. Mermaids can make methane, too.
