Yes, and for descriptions of various attempts ("successful" and otherwise) to prove this point, check out darwin.com!

If u want to make a big fire with your fart, do not go to latrine for 5-6 days. In this way, your stool will rot inside and produce dense methane gas in huge amounts.... then light a match-stick near your anus and fart. You must get a huge fire. CAUTION: This may burn.

hmm... yes, there is a possibility. there is methane in fart gas.
BUT, i think that one has to fart really strong and prolong, to get a good fire. i'm pretty sure the level of methane in a normal fart is low, hence you won't get much of a spark.
there is quite a number of short clips on the internet, showing of people who tried to do that experiment. from what i saw, they were not staging it. but yeah, it is quite small. seems to be difficult to get a big one.
but i suggest you don't do it directly, you might burn your pants and skin (yeah, some of them had their pants burnt in their attempt).

Yea. Same idea from the movie "Nutty Professor II: Klumps" some scene that he (character by Eddie Murphy) gained weight n farted/gased out the whole towns and 1 of guys outside tried to light his cigarette but boooom (exploded). hahaha. But, I thou it was goofy.

There are videos on youtube even showing someone lighting a cigarette with the fire.

Yes.
A fart contains gases that can ignite.

I've done it before, just a word of advice, keep your undies on. Otherwise you'll be in a world of hurt.

I think someone got his butt seriously burn for trying to do this. I think he was mention in one of those Darwin Award books.
And didn't someone from Jackass try this?

I think if you swallow gas, its possible for your fart to explode.
