Does a fart contain DNA from the farter?

    And if so would it be possible to clone someone if you got hold of one of their farts?

    That's it, I'm cancelling UPC.

    There is not enough internet between me and people like you.

    Cancel away, leaves more space and bandwidth for the important questions...

    Like why is the first fart in the morning always a loud one? Is it due to a pressure buildup overnight or something?

    What you've bottled it and your going to find out for once and for all who it is!!!

    If it does, there's a lot of people with my DNA up their noses.

    Um...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,171 ✭✭✭af_thefragile


    Indeed it does.

    We're talking about gas only, no solids (this time)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭Mairzydoats


    It just contains gases which I don't believe can be analysed (no pun intended) in order to ascertain (again no pun intended) the source.
    However, it has been established that in 99% of cases, he who smelt it, dealt it.

    I commend you good sir for having the courage to ask the questions that everybody wants to ask but don't have the nads for it.

    Well done. You are a hero amoung men.

    In theory a person could be traced by their fart if there was a fart bank or fart profiling.

    But such is the complexity of the idea of fart profiling that it has been thought up of now.

    It was my idea, I came up with it first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,171 ✭✭✭af_thefragile


    Does that mean you leave no trace of urself if you light your farts on fire??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭Mairzydoats


    FYP.

    Thanks for your assistance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭Mairzydoats

    Actually, it would be safer to light your farts if you were genuinely worried about leaving traces of DNA. This could cause any follow through to be compromised and unusable as evidence in criminal cases.
    However, I am not condoning the introduction of a naked flame to the act of flatulence.

    Do you think it's impossible to fart while asleep or something?

    No, but pretty much every morning I let out a loud one within minutes of getting up. Some days it may be the only fart or at least the only noisy fart that I disseminate.

    Hence the question.

    Perhaps the force of the fart might dislodge some epithelial cells although these would be deposited on your trousers/undies. If you were naked and farting......

    Thanks, this is probably the closest to an answer I've gotten. I'll need to read up on epithelial cells though. I'm assuming those are brown specks of poo?

    Fart on a mirror and then write a secret message in the mist, so it only shows up next time somebody breathes on it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭juan.kerr


    As a kid I used to fart into those little film containers and close the lids.

    Unfortunately I never had the patience to leave it for too long.

    Are you saying you fart a lot in your sleep?

    FARTY PANTS!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    I suppose the answer is "yes" if the fart has a lump in it or it's one of those "check cloth" ones.:):):)

    The question must be asked would you be trying to clone yourself or are you trying to catch someone else's farts ? if so , who ?

    FYP. 10% clorox should royally fúck up DNA / RNA.


    Good luck catching the fart buddy.

    If I was trying to clone myself I'd probably use a different source. I would probably be more concerned about someone else cloning me and stealing my identity.

    Fair point, reasonable enough concerns.

    Yeah and they used say the earth was flat too....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 588 ✭✭✭MisterEpicurus


    As fart as I know, I don't think it's possible.

    I've read that farting under water (e.g. in the bath) and catching the resulting 'bubbles' is the best approach.

    are farts wet?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭juan.kerr


    are farts wet?

    I guess it depends on the termperature. I assume farts have a freezing point etc so there is presumably a temperature at which they become a liquid.

    FYI, if it is wet at normal room temprature then it isn't really a fart...
