h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

They say that you can scream as loud as you want in space, because no one can hear you.

But! does a fart (common) phart (posh) still smell ?

I believe the answer lies in the question.

Fartus commonus would of course be quite stinky,
while the posher phart is always beyond comment
and incapable of causing offense of any kind.

As Major Thom clearly demonstrated, one simply finds
reason to step outside when such occasions arise.

Isn't there a greenish-yellowish galactic cloud somewhere out there (can't remember its name) that's slowly expanding instead of contracting?

In an aeon or two we might find the answer.

s'not a good thing to look forward to

Such images are most distressing.
Reminds me of my LSD days when I actually believed
I was living in God's bowel. This conflicted badly
with my underlying atheistic standards and I had
to abandon that line of thinking - but all these recent
improvements in computer-aided astral photo-imaging
are drawing me back to certain (and uncertain) but
very unpleasant conclusions.

the reason you can't hear in outer space is because of the vacuum.
Farting into a vacuum could be fatal unless you wore a pressure suit.
In that case only the person in that suit could smell it.

you've spoilt the essence now

so adds (superman could have smelt it)

serve'em right too

sill you could let off a loud stinker or a sneaky SBD in the space craft and there is nowhere really to run

*simpost*

>> Farting into a vacuum could be fatal <<

Yay, for verily the Nighthoover is a vengeful god
and he smiteth the fatuous who gorify the whole.

let it be said that

there is nothing more smitey
than a nighthoover almighty
