If you ever work with equipment which is cooled by liquid Nitrogen, you will see that if you run a lot of it, then Oxygen starts to liquefy and drip off of the hoses. Nitrogen and Oxygen are not nobel gases of course. But you can try to liquefy the nobel gases. Helium will have the lowest liquefication temperature.
But you could also try them in a discharge lamp, look at the color, and also try to measure the exact spectrum. And the nobel gases won't react with the electrodes like most other gases will.

Young princes fart helium. Queens fart neon.
It's right there in the periodic table! ;)

My wife claims to fart inert gas.

The way to tell is to test it by trying to light it on fire. Nobel gases are inert, no combustion.
You also might try to capture it and test its temperature of liquefaction.

Off topic , but why are dog farts so fucking nasty?

I've seen dogs show signs of visible embarrassment over farting.

Do people show visible signs of embarrassment when you greet them by name?

Probably the most intelligent thread on this board.

gammanu95, have you ever thought about what dogs eat? If a cat shits in the yard little 4got will dig it up and eat it.
Eating cat shit = non-brilliant farts!
