The Pants That Catch The Gas

The average person farts twelve to eighteen times a day, emitting about 90 ml of carbon dioxide and methane into the air. What a stink and given the current state of the global climate, it’s not exactly doing the planet much good either. But it gets worse. If you were to fart constantly for 6 years and 9 months (just say), enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. Any minute now your arse could explode.

Well thank the lord for Buck Weimer of Pueblo, Colorado who invented Under-Ease the airtight underwear that filters all those noxious niffs.

The super undies use charcoal filters to remove the bad smelling gases before they can escape, thus saving you, your work colleagues and the planet as a whole from having to cope with a gaseous catastrophe of smelly proportions.
