Today's Webtip: How big is a fart?

And other important science questions.

Reddit has a lovely little traction of explaining complex things in simple ways. ELI5 or explain it like I'm 5 years old is a simple way to request a clear explanation.

Now another site has turned that idea on its head, by asking actually 5 year olds to come up with questions for scientists.

“Science Question From A Toddler” has finally given us adults a chance to find out answers to questions we probably haven't trusted ourselves to ask for ages. That means we can finally find out how big a fart really is, why we are right handed, and why boys have wieners. Amongst other things.

I hope this is a long lasting series, because I am sure there are still plenty of pressing questions that have to be asked.
