Sulfane
As you probably already know, one of the more dominant chemicals in farts is hydrogen sulfide (H2S, also known as sulfane).
Some facts
| – |
Sulfane is a very poisonous gas. It’s rotten egg smell is noticeable at 0.02 ppm but it also anaesthetizes the olfactory senses; the intensity of the smell is therefore dangerously unreliable to its concentration. |
| – |
Concentrations of 5 ppm cause irritations, 10 ppm gives you headhaches and 100 ppm leads to immediate paralysis and eventually death. |
| – |
H2S solutions oxydise spontaneously. |
Polysulfane
Besides sulfane, hydrogen and sulphur can produce other combinations, so-called polysulfanes: H2Sn (where n = 2-8).
Polysulfanes are reactive liquids with density, viscosity, colour intensity and boiling point increasing with the number of sulphur bonds (the n in H2Sn), where odor is decreasing.
Intelligence and age
Intelligence is mostly expressed as a sigma number (σ1 (or S1), σ2 (or S2), σ3, etc.) representing the standard deviation cut-off in the – assumed to be normally distributed – general popultation.
Furthermore, it can be hypothesised that intelligence and age are somewhat correlated (‘the older the wiser’, you know…), so why not combine the two into a single ‘age to sigma’-indicator..?
‘Age to sigma’..? H2S..!
Enter, the Brain Fart Index…
Some indications
| – |
Brain farts of high H and low S are gaseous, cause irritation at low concentrations and give headaches at slightly higher ones, and its solutions vanish spontaniously when exposed to the air. Basically, they stink… |
| – |
Brain farts are more dense and colourfull, and less volatile and odorous at increasing S-levels. |
