No farting at >30 ft -- Myth?

[ScubaSam]

I'm quite surprised at the number of ladies participating in this thread. It must be suggestive of some guiltiness as well. For once we can't be blamed on doing something when the bubbles are zipping by your neck collar. Lol

Me thinks Kenny is deflecting responsibility...:blinking:

This question does seem to re-appear each year.

You want to be careful with that....

Can you imagine the size of the bubble by the time it reaches the surface! :11:

bet it's green!

bet it's green!

That would probably depend on what you ate last......

 

[Scubadaddy]

That is nasty! lol

Funny thread btw

HA HA HA next time I'll to try to see what it does. Never paid attention to this LOL

My only thought is, as the surrounding ambient pressure becomes greater, the amount of pressure inside your intestines will have to be higher than normal to feel the pressure of "gas" inside you that you need to relieve. Just like if you took a tank pressurized to 3000psi deep enough, no air would come out if you opened it. For example you may need twice as much "gas" to build up at 33 feet than normal before you feel the need to pop the relief valve o-ring

I know from experience that this myth is busted. Took several attempts to make sure the depth was confirmed at below 30'. But it is confirmed.

OK, I have seen the picture of the "warhammer maneuver" before. Can't remember exactly where but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to Google. My question is just, where does the name "warhammer" come from?

It is/was the SB name of the person who first posted it.
