Gas Exchange
When the Slitheen are in their skin suits they fart loudly; they call this the gas exchange. This can also be caused by over-eating. In "The Gift" (Sarah Jane Adventures) Sarah Jane and the gang destroy the food,a plant called Rakweed, which is native to Raxacoricofallapatorius, in the stomachs of the Blathereen, which produced methane gas.

Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or exchange:
“When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars; then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man’s soul under formulas of Profit and Loss; and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
