Slog - Comments on For Your Inner Beavis http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/for_your_inner_beavis This is juvenile. It's dumb. In fact, you probably shouldn't watch it, because, if you do, you'll see a fart in infrared. Can this be real? Jen Graves says it goes overboard with the “second puff.” Thanks, tipper NaFun....

Lighter = warmer (the guy's arm is white, his fingertips are darker), so the fart should be a white puff, rather than a black puff.

It's the green effect.

The video is monochrome, so either dark or light represent heat. Since the guy is white, you assume white represents greater heat. In which case, his fart is colder than the surrounding air?

In black & white, heat is represented as light tones or white, and cold is represented in dark tones or black. A good healthy fart should be the same temperature as your internal organs, 98.6 degrees. If this were real, the gas of the fart should be the same color as the person, since they are the same temperature. The fart should also be whiter than the surrounding air (which is presumably somewhere around 70 degrees, or roughly 30 degrees colder), not darker.

The only way this video is right is if the guy is magically issuing ice-cold farts.

He portrays a "ghost hunter" with a crew. All but him believe they've witnessed paranormal activity (in fact his fart) and they play back all types of recordings from infrared to sound - with the volume WAY up - and talk about the unusual smell.

He finally snaps and tells them what they really witnessed.
