What is the ratio of body length to small intestine length?
THe average length of intestine like the average height of people is variable. In women the average intestine length is considered to be 7.1 meters, in men it is considered 6.9. A survery performed in Australia in 1995 where subjects were measured found the average height of men to be 1.78 meters and of women to be 1.64 meters. If we use these parameters we can give the ratio to be 1.78:6.9 and 1.64::7.1 in men and women respectively. If we were to crudely average the two ratios and round up decimal points it would not be unreasonable to suggest that the ratio of body length the small intestine length in humans in meters is approximately 2:7 or 1.5:6

Why do you fart when you're nervous?
Over the course of the day, everyone swallows air.
A lot of the air, mostly oxygen, is absorbed as it passes through the digestive system.
When you are nervous, your body diverts blood away from the digestive system and passes it to the muscles, ready for the 'fight or flight' mechanism.
When this happens, the digestive system is less active, so absorbs less of the air in your system.
The increased farting is due to the increased volume of oxygen that is not absorbed
How does flamingo digest its food?
They poo it out I am not kidding.
Added by Dr. Misha:
uh, yeah, pooing comes After Digestion, which, technically, is the breaking down of food into nutrients which are capable of being absorbed by the body. Without exception, in all birds digestion starts starts in the crop, an organ in the throat. Since birds have no teeth (again, without exception), they need a way to break down food into particles that are small enough to pass through the alimentary canal. Most birds eat small stones or bits of gravel, which they store in their crop. When food is swallowed, it first enters the crop, where it is mixed with the gravel in order to be broken down, the same way our teeth pulverize food, before travelling through the rest of the GI (gastro-intestinal) system.
