Identification of gases responsible for the odour of human flatus and evaluation of a device purported to reduce this odour
Looks like the charcoal-filter pantaloons definitely worked:Flatus was quantitatively collected via rectal tube from 16 healthy subjects who ingested pinto beans and lactulose to enhance flatus output. The concentrations of sulphur-containing gases in each passage were correlated with odour intensity assessed by two judges. Odour intensity was also determined after treatment of flatus samples with zinc acetate, which binds sulphydryl compounds (hydrogen sulphide and methanethiol), or activated charcoal. Utilising gas-tight Mylar pantaloons, the ability of a charcoal lined cushion to adsorb sulphur-containing gases instilled at the anus of eight subjects was assessed.

When you are a research assistant assigned to be one of the "judges" in an experiment like this, do you start to reassess your career choices or forge ahead in the name of science?Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View PostComment

One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

Yeah hers is a little on the "artsy" side. I really like Obama's portrait, though."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment

I agree it isn't an exact likeness, but if you wanted it to look identical to her why not just take a photograph and hang it on the wall? It's the artists' impression of her, during her (likely) many hours of sitting for the artist. It's flattering in my opinion.Originally posted by falafel View PostComment

I understand artistic impressions, but she should at least be recognizable. Its a very nice portrait. To me, it just looks like a portrait of some other person.Originally posted by tooblue View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Agreed. I didn’t know who it was until I saw Obama’s portrait and then made the connection.Originally posted by falafel View Post

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment
