Question of Extreme Importance

[Pinchaser...]

Methane makes up about 5% of the air in this room right now.  

[Jared]

did you guys hear about that guy who asphixiated himself with his own methane?

[Anti-Societys Snake]

no....  ;D *Is lisnting*

[TacitBlue]

OK. This guy worked at night, so he had his windows covered with black plastic to block out the sun so he could sleep during the day. As a result, his windows were pretty much air-tight. and he slept with the door closed, and something blocking the bottom so no light would come in. One day, he had 2 or 3 big bowls of chilli before he went to bed. I think you can see where this is going...

[Anti-Societys Snake]

Seems verrry unlikly..... but chili can be a very powerful force of doom too  ;)

yeah, its probably just an urban legend, but I think its possible. Infact, I work with a guy who will probably die like that.

Why is there air?

The correct answer is, according to Bill Cosby, to blow up volley balls.

Just a quick simple little question.




Why is there air?

lol.....what a question...and I always said there were NO stupid questions on the forum...seems I was mistaken....
  Air is there 'cos all the little animals (and big ones too I suppose ) can't stop farting and belching and all that gas (air) can't escape as the gravity of the planet holds it down.....any more scientific questions?.....commoner  ::)
