Methane (farts) a valuable resource?

[masterspud777]

OK, now that I went off about this in that gas price thread, lemme just say:

What do you guys think about the possibilities of harnessing methane as an alternative fuel for something... possibly gas for cars? I mean, let's face it, we have a few billion bottoms in this country alone (more if you include animals, especially cows which have bad gas all the time). There's gotta be something useful to do with all of that methane...

Let's hear some ideas!

Do I hear national blue-flaming day?????? :lol:

(for those of you who don't know, blue-flaming is where you stick a lighter or a match up to your butt [typically you have a friend help you out with that] and fart and it creates a long flame out of your butt... lot's of fun :))

DISCLAIMER: if any of you tries blue-flaming and burns yourself, don't come crying to me. It is fire...

DOUBLE DISCLAIMER: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BLUE-FLAME A COW!! Wasn't that a Darwin award recently??

I think they actually harness methane from closed land fills

[masterspud777]

They probably do, but my point is that there is a lot of wasted methane out there right now that could be harnessed. To quote Strongbad, "Will you use your powers for good, or for AWESOME!!!!" (I don't know how that's relevant, but it sounded good at first...:))

If anyone gets near my butt trying to collect methane, they will be picking there teeth off of the sidewalk. :evil:

I say we just stick to landfills for now......

I heard about a woman who called into Howard Stern one morning who tried this. Caught her pubic hair on fire.
