It depends on it's gas composition. If your flatulence is a result of lactose intolerance it's going to be mainly composed of carbon dioxide (CO2) which is not flammable.

If your flatulence is a result of fermenting fiber it will have a higher methane (CH4) composition and will ignite. I wouldn't recommend doing it though. If you rupture your rectum you will bleed to death in a manner of minutes.

Kinda gross question but serious....I know that sometimes your boogers can be black if you burn a lot of candles from the soot, but what would cause them to be black (or have black lines in them) if you haven't been around an open flame?
