The problem with farts is that they expand till they fill the known universe.
Perhaps the first experiments by Mr Boyle were on his farts.
The relationship between pressure and volume was first noted by Richard Towneley and Henry Power in the 17th century.[5][6] Robert Boyle confirmed their discovery through experiments and published the results.[7] According to Robert Gunther and other authorities, it was Boyle's assistant, Robert Hooke, who built the experimental apparatus. Boyle's law is based on experiments with air, which he considered to be a fluid of particles at rest in between small invisible springs.
"Yeah, 'air', right, Mr Boyle?"
I suppose it made a change from trying to light them.
