Do Ants fart?

[Josh]

Heard this on the radio, do ants fart?

 

[omerta]

i know birds cant, i dont know about ants tho, ud think with all the plants they eat they wud.

 

[Konrow]

dunno. i kinda doubt it. i don't even know if they crap but they probably do. anyway i'd say they probably don't but thats jsut a guess really. seem too small to fart.

Like termites..yes. Termites are the #1 producer of Methane gas in the world. They produce most of it because of what they eat.

Ants are the same way, but they produce very little. It's probably 1000 termites to 1 human for everyday methane production. So 9 billion humans and 40 trillion termites :O

 

[George]

methane is flamable (fire fart anyone?)
skatolium (?) is the smell
and some other
did that on biology

 

[SlayR.]

Yeah, I heard this on the radio too. The next day they had a supposed actual recording of it.

Anything that eats produces gas.

Apparently vegaterianism stops you farting. Hitler was supposed to have been really flatulent because of all the meat he ate and his dietritions used to prescribe veggy meals to him.

 

[Deva]

i find that eating vegetables make me fart something crazy
ants farting ftw xD, wonder if they smell?

Thats ofcourse bullcrap, its more likely the other way around. After all, the two things most likely to give you gass are beans and unions, and last I checked, those weren't meat. In fact, most species that produce methane, such as ants or cows for instance, are herbivores. One may further deduct that veggies stink, and this tends to be true in more then one way in my humble opinion

As for ants, dunno, more important question: who the f*ck cares? :icon6:

*shrugs* just read it in my QI book

 

[Josh]

OK they proved they do, these guys setup an experiment and waited 2 and 1/2 hours to hear it fart .

lmfao. they probably used a pretty good mic to hear a fart that small

 

[Yodo]

Well my guess is they dont fart but really dunno but maybe everythink can fart haha :biggrinth

 

[danse]

do they crap also ?

 

[Yodo]

Nice question do ants crap :rofl: maybe but we cant see it.

 

[Josh]

It was proved on the radio .

 

[danse]

It was proved on the radio .

They crap in the radio ? That's new measure of being rude.

Now you can feel free to fart public since ants are farting too and they do crap in radio.

 

[gReGiTh]

Ants can and do fart/diarreah out of their mouths. End of story.

^ thats wrong, maybe for their size they produce a lot, but fact is cows produce the most Methane gas in the world, hence it being in the news so much as being worse for the environment than cars. 40 trillion? someone get out their guess calculator?

The process of producing methane is a reaction between the food produced and the actual processing of it in our stomaches some foods react differently with stomach acids and the like. In theory all things that eat, produce gas as a bye product.

When one hears a fart and all in the room blame one another...
Now I know who'z been fartin all the time.
