A question has been lingering in my head for a while, and I hope you all, the enlightened members of this forum, can help me solve it.
Imagine you are standing on a scale that can measure infintissimal changes in weight, exact to the nanogram level. As you are standing on this scale, you let rip a fat filthy fart. My question is, what does the scale say, does your weight go up, or does it go down? Because there are two different forces at play here that counteract each other:
A) Methane is lighter than air, so if the methan is still inside your body, it should lift you up and thus make you lighter on the scale.
B) Even though Methane is lighter than air, it is still comprised of millions of molecules that weigh something, and once you do fart, these molecules are released from your body and are not replaced by anything (except if you are one of the chosen few who can suck in air with your anus). So your weight should go down by the total weight of the methane molecules you released into the air.
What really hapens in this tricky situation? Does just one or the other force win-out or is the result a combination of the two?

a) farts are not 100% methane, and lighter than air gases.
b) farts aren't 100% gaseous, small amounts of liquid are also expelled (aerosol), and sometimes minute amounts of fecal matter as well.
A+b would inform one that one infact does lose both weight and mass when one farts.
Though WTF this has to do with any aspect of psytrance I have yet to work out. Perhaps that should be the discussion.
Q: How are farts and psytrance similar?
A: They both get old and stale real quick!
On your answer to a) Yes, of course methane is lighter than air, thus if you havre it inside your body, it would make you lighter on the scale. It counteracts the effects from b)
On your answer to b) Of course you are right that most of the time something other than just gases escpape your anus, especially if you have had indian food or fried sausages, but for the purpose of this theoretical questions lets assume that just gases are released.
We are still left with the conundrm that a) would imply less weight on the scale, and b) would imply more weight on the scale!
Anyways, what does this have to do with psytrance you ask. First of all listening to Darkpsy just really makes me fart, and then there is this:

Hahaha, this deep question is not a result of smoking weed, I was actually sitting in a business meeting with a bunch of executives when my mind started wandering and got stuck on this important issue, hahaha... Check out my album: http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/gay-satanic-hippie-tiefenrausch
