If you hopped in an NHRA Top Fuel Dragster untrained you would have very high chances of death right off the bat.
Those G's are crazy, if you're not trained properly to handle them you could black out almost instantly. Drag racing regular cars like Mustangs etc. is a joke compared to this.

You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line and pass the dragster at an honest 200 MPH. The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment. The dragster launches and starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums and within 3 seconds the dragster catches and passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it - from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 MPH and not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1,320 foot long race!
That's acceleration!

This is actually much more interesting
Farts are created mostly by E. coli.
On the average a fart is composed of about 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, and 4% oxygen. Less than 1% is what makes them stink.
The temperature of a fart at time of creation is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Farts have been clocked at a speed of 10 feet per second.
A person produces about half a liter of farts a day.
Although they won't admit it, women fart as much as men.
Termites are the largest producers of farts.
Farts are flammable.
The word "fart" comes from the Old English "feortan" (meaning "to break wind").
Excess gas in the intestinal is medically termed "flatulence."
