Fart detector solves a problem I've never encountered
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.

Maybe if it could identify the projector of said fart it might me slightly useful. Thereby helping to solve the age old question of "Oh my god, who farted?"

I have a perfectly serviceable fart detector. It is composed of two ears and a nose.

Was this article even necessary? This is Dvice, "Live the future". Fart jokes are so "the past". Have some class, people.
Oh, and wow, your captcha system is bad. Three tries now, and I am far from the first to complain.

This would be useful for me since I cannot smell, so I don't pay attention to when I let one go, and this could help me keep track, especially when family comes over.

Just for context, you might want to look at other projects from this year.
