Is farting in the OR transmitting germs?
From the BMJ:
“It all started with an enquiry from a nurse,” Dr Karl Kruszelnicki told listeners to his science phone-in show on the Triple J radio station in Brisbane. “She wanted to know whether she was contaminating the operating theatre she worked in by quietly farting in the sterile environment during operations, and I realised that I didn’t know. But I was determined to find out.”

Yes, it’s a 2001 article, but I wasn’t blogging then, so missed it.
Brought to my attention by Glen in West Texas, thanks Glen!
