Dave was reading an awesome article on Salon.com called "Ask the Pilot" and we were extremely entertained by some of the questions. My favorite one is posted below.

Q: I just got back from vacation, and I'm positive that airplanes make me fart more. I fly a lot, and I can definitely say there's a lot more flatulence going on when I'm airborne. Does this have anything to do with pressurization? I've also realized that with so much ambient noise, you can really rip 'em without being heard. Together, these two things lead me to believe that airplane seats are actually designed for farting. Can you confirm or deny this?
Author's note: There is an air pressure factor at play here. But the topic is gross and I really don't feel like explaining it.
