Hey Shades, you win, but in reply to Tallyman....
There's an old story of a stupid farmer that did such thing with a stable full of cows.... and one can guess the ending, I guess. No? Well, the amount of methane (other gasses) a cow releases when she farts is way more than humans do. Conclusion; the whole farm went up in flames tragically.
Um, disliking calling people losers but a true loser he was. (killing cows and all)
As a young teenager I was very much into chemistry and set up a laboratory at my fathers farm. Experimenting making methane - I put a mixture of cow dung and water in a large sealed plastic container. A couple of weeks later the container was bulging BIG. I did the obvious stupid thing of opening the container while holding a lit match next to it - I wanted to verify the escaping gas would burn and hence was methane. It was. The gas escaped faster than anticipated BOOM. I was covered in sh*t!
The first of many chemistry experiments that resulted in varying degrees of BOOM!
