Burp & Co.

Have you ever wondered what gas is a BURP ?

Hehe,I'm sick with this dumb virus that's causing me to have alot of air that just doesn't wanna come out.So my tummy is overbloated with all this gas that is making me feel so uncomfortable. X_x. So it got me thinking. What is a BURP. Heehee.

Do you think a burp equals a fart ? Just that one comes out from your mouth,while the other comes out from your bottom..ya know. Hahahahha. You think it's the same thing?

What happens when you force a burp to not come out, or force a fart to not come out? Let's say you force a burp, so does it travel down to the bottom to try to escape from the other end of our bodies? And what say if you force it at the bottom too? It travels up again? That's like ...wow, pinball.

Oooh,Okay,answering my question,and also probably yours(now that I asked you and YOU can't answer me =P), Wikipedia says.......

Burping is typically caused by eating or drinking too fast, and thereby swallowing (aerophagia) and subsequently expelling air, in which the expelled gas is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen.

There,now we know.Nitrogen and Oxygen.

Also,while giving you chemisty/biology lessons, I shall culture you (and myself) further, by telling us that........

Fart is an English word which
refers to flatulence. The word "fart"
is generally considered unsuitable in a formal environment by modern English
speakers, and it may be considered vulgar or offensive in
conservative motions. Fart can be used as a noun or a verb.

Ooooh,flatulence or flatus.

As for it's composition,
DID YOU KNOW, your fart may cause a fire. Wow. Imagine.

HEADLINES
School Lab catches fire because many students farted simultaneously while lighting the Bunsen Burner in the Chemistry Lab.

Won't that be interesting?It's because....

Nitrogen is
the primary gas
released. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components,
are flammable, and so flatus is
susceptible to catching fire .

And the reason behind the foul smell is.....

....foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty
acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds
such as hydrogen sulfide
(rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that
are the result of protein breakdown.

Hahahah,okay.That was fun. =D
I feel so much more knowledgeble than those smarty-pants at Chemistry Tuition just now.At least I know a fart= flatulence,and it's composition. And a burp is mainly oxygen and nitrogen. There. Heeheeee.
