Yes this is a real question.

Why do water farts have their own unique smell?

While in the shower, tub, pool, hot tub...

I took chemistry in college but never studied this one.

The hydrogen in the water mixes with the sulfur in the food and voilla.....hydrogen sulfide,sewer gas.

BTW,this is just an uneducated guess. X

As long as it wasn't a water shart you are fine. But then again, how would you be able to tell

I thought something similar but on a molecular level this cant be the answer.

^ Sry . . .WRONG!

Correct answer: Just as water refracts light causing magnifcation, water has a similar effect on odors. A small rather benign "poofer" can become a massive stink bomb quite quickly.

Sitting in an alley in Meridian with a can of Coke and a box of Pop Rocks is NOT a college!

I had diarrhea once on a cave dive in the Philippines. Big ole grouper jumped out of a hole and frightened me momentarily.

I inked him like an octopus.

^ pissing in one isn't. I've been diving in Baja when the water temp was 49 degrees at about 60 feet.

Ahhhh....warmed me right up. X

Kinda off question but how about farting in zero gravity..? other than acting as jet propulsion it would foul the entire space shuttle. I believe astronauts are directed to fart into a vacuum tube..
