Did You Know? #1

The ventilation system in airplanes has air vents containing  charcoal.Because of its porous nature,charcoal is a good absorbent for odours.

No wonder,despite the sealed fuselage,bad odours are not easily noticed (..including farts!)

It is commonplace knowledge that the air pressure drops during flight.Gases in the bowels expand up to 30% more than on the ground,causing more occurrences of flatulence.Airlines have chosen the easier option of the charcoal filters—the other being to tell passengers to wear 'special' charcoal underwear which absorbs the gas as it comes out of the bowels.This has been considered ineffective,as the holes for the legs in the underwear  causes a 'tunnel effect' that tends to channel the gas away and out through the legs.

So next time you're on board,don't be afraid to break that wind.
(Uh..it's best to go to the restroom to fart though.It's polite and conducive.)

That is an undoubted fact.

Bonus: Did you know that the food in airplanes is INTENTIONALLY high on carbs and low in fibre?This is because food high in protein or fibre increase the likelihood of flatulence.

Hmm... Rather it is possible that food has a bad taste because the cockpit is pressurized and affects our sense of smell.
Although my theory is that airlines simply save costs in food preparation to maximize their profits. If they, the airlines, change the distance between the seats for more passengers to enter the aircraft. They can easily minimize the quality of food so that their profits are not reduced.

really man thanks
