You know, I’m sure it’s an impressive piece of scientific equipment, but I’m not sold on the usefulness of a fart detector. I’m sure the two Cornell computer engineering students who made it are quite bright, and combining a hydrogen sulfide monitor, a thermometer, a microphone and custom software was impressive. But really, do we need help detecting horrible farts? The problem has never been with detecting farts, after all. It’s been with dealing with them once they’ve been detected. But hey, nice work nonetheless, guys.
