        Once the fart leaves your body and glows, is it really you that’s glowing? We need some philosophers in here.

          Yes, I know, it bothered me as I decided to even answer, that’s why I also added the ‘long’ bit (as to imply a continuous flame) to blur the inaccuracy … but what can I say, the mental image of humans just going about their business with a constant flame out their ass just won.

          Still, you are completely correct.

            I just wanted some philosophical discussion about whether a fart is still you once it is expelled.

              Perhaps if the initial combustion is happening deep enough within ones asshole then the light that escapes though the flesh (and not the gaping hole directly) can be considered as bioluminescence?

              Or does it need to originate from within the cells?
