Scientists Advise Airplane Passengers to Fart After Takeoff

So you're on an airplane, midair, plane is packed and even after the TSA groped you all the sudden you have a bomb on board. You can feel it within you getting bigger and wanting to unleash, a huge fart, should you dare unleash it in the plane?

On Friday February 15, 2013 gastroenterologists from Britain and Denmark published 'Flatulence On Airplanes: Just Let It Go,' d in the New Zealand Medical Journal. If you're ever in doubt to hold it in or let one slip, medical research has the answer. The researchers fund it's healthier to let one rip than hold it in.

When the pressure in the plane changes so does the pressure in the bowels of your body. Of course you have to consider the proximity to others, but remember there are oxygen masks for everyone. Just make sure you don't let anything more than a fart out, that is a whole other scenario.
