Would like to know what kinds of gases are emitted. Is it really methane, or is that a myth? --RjLesch
- A simple experiment with baked beans and a match should convince you that it's methane :) --Robert Merkel

I humbly suggest:
Gas released from the latter end of a consumptive's alimentary canal.
