Did you know you can throw a fart?

This is the interesting fact I learned at work today. Apparently the fart molecules are heavier than regular air molecules. This (apparently) also means than fart molecules travel slower than sound. I’m thinking of designing a tool that can measure the time difference from the sound of the fart until the smell reaches the tool and calculate the distance to the fart origin. This way we always answer the eternal question of “Who Farted?”
