and it's close to 2 mph not 6.8 so I think there's a typo.

Flatologist, something that no careers advisor will see written on the job wish list form from someone.

Nobody sets out to initially, they just kind of fall gas backwards into it.

I've always wondered if the inverse square law applied.

Some people think this is their calling but all of a sudden out of nowhere they find out they are in fact a scatologist.

From another article:
>Anyone within about 4 ft. of the fart will experience the effects within about 5 minutes. In contrast, as shown on the right, someone positioned opposite the fart path (i.e. in front of the farter), they will notice a slight change in air quality that dissipates after about 4 minutes.
>Considering only the trajectory on the left, we therefore arrive at an answer to the original question: The speed of an average fart is about 8 inches per minute. This is about twice as fast as a sloth can walk, but slow enough that one can easily outrun them.
>Of course, in our controlled experiments the farts were trapped in a tube, whereas in a natural setting they would be acted upon by air circulating in the environment. Air flow is therefore likely to be the primary determinant of the spread of farts. Farts are slow on their own, but if you really want to avoid the stink, the best strategy is avoid being downwind.

Scientists that study farts call themselves Scientists. What kind? Mind your own god damn business!

I object, please.
The speed at which a flatulent eruption enters our atmosphere can be slowed down considerably if one uses a Mart Fuffler. You're welcome.

Are people that can throw their farts called fartriloquits?
