Science question - noise & fog

[Cubist]

When my Mum was young, back in the 50s-ish, she and a friend were driving back from Norfolk to Leicester, in a thick Fenland fog, at night. In those days, the A47 crossed the A1 at a simple crossroads, and the fog was so thick that while her friend drove, my Mum had to get out and listen for traffic on the A1 before they drive across!

Of course, the A1 wasn't quite so busy in those days, but even so....

My mother in law tells the tale where they were returning to York from a night out in Leeds and hit thick fog on the A64. It was an absolute pea-souper, and her husband made her get out and walk in front of the car looking for the verge.

Wasn't it you Arch who once announced on here that

'I'm here in York, but did I just hear Big Ben?'

That must have been one hell of a fog, let me tell you!!

Breaking wind in the bath is a good demonstration of this one!

Okay then, seeing as Reiver's question has been adequately answered (except for the existence of underwater geese), why, when you fart in the bath, does it always smell like boiled cauliflower, even when you haven't eaten cauliflower for weeks?

... why, when you fart in the bath, does it always smell like boiled cauliflower, even when you haven't eaten cauliflower for weeks?

It's the result of the fermentation process triggered by your lycopersical gland filtering out all the tomato skins and saving them up for next time you vomit.

And there was me thinking that aroma/flavour was added at the nipper-offer, a bit like the stripes in signal toothpaste.
