Paying by the word Comments Swedish police are investigating a case of an open can of surstrÃ¶mming was hurled through the bedroom window of a 52-year-old Motala man. The strong-smelling local delicacy has a deserved reputation as a potent biological terror agent, so the offence is a very serious one. Just as serious as the comments:â¦

If it looks like a bubble, smells like a bubble, and tastes like a bubble, it must be a bubble.

SMELLING faeces could soon play a crucial role in detecting the hospital bug Clostridium difficile, scientists said.  The odour from healthy stools and people with infectious diarrhoea differ in their chemical composition.

Looks like I'll get the drive back soon. First I got a call from the Emeryville store, then I got a call from a person in Apple Executive offices (she gave me her name and number, but I'm not going to publish it here). I'll report back when I have more info. PS: The number of idiotic comments has gone way up.

By Rob Crossan  The stench hits me like a house brick to the sinuses. An old woman, cackling malevolently, wades her bare arms deep into the belching cauldron of fat in front of her.

Have you ever visited New York on a hot day and seen that haze that appears to hover at the end the street? Is it diesel exhaust? The Con Ed plant? A Korean barbecue?

When it comes to a man&#39;s body odour, the fragrance -- or stench -- is in the nose of the beholder, according to U.S. researchers who suggest a single gene may determine how people perceive body odour.

from smoke to soap - can be used to predict Alzheimer&#39;s disease, scientists have discovered. The smell test was as effective at diagnosis as a memory test, and better than a brain scan.

Well, I had my second date with Margot last week. It was nice. We attended a seminar on multimodal component interfaces and then went on a romantic stroll around a waste treatment facility. She says the smell of methane calms her nerves. I sure can pick âem, canât I?

You know itâs been a strange week when youâre mulling over cellular plans for your pet. But I seem to be doing just that. Scottsdale, Ariz.-based PetsMobility Networks is developing a phone that clips to your dogâs collar. Fido can hear his masterâs voice and, I suppose, respond in kind. Iâm not entirely convinced this is a good idea. I can just see Apache running up my cell bills with crank calls (âDo you have Alpo in the can?â).

It isn't the smell of a Douglas fir or baking cookies that reminds Renee Zellweger of Christmas; it's the smell of cigars. For Tom Hanks, it's the smell of banana bread. He says he always took the bus to visit his mom on Christmas, and if he was lucky, he'd sit next to an old lady who'd give him banana bread.

Another nugget I thought would be good to share. I came home from my trip to NY and there was a pretty bad stink in the kitchen.  Smelled like garbage. It didn't take long to zero in on the source -- the garbage disposal. I tried pouring all kinds of cleaning stuff down the drain, to no avail, the smell didn't go away. Then I did a search on the Internet, found a variety of suggestions, and felt pretty sure that I'd have to call a plumber because they all seemed to assume skills and/or tools I didn't have. Instead I tried a very simple idea and amazingly it worked. 1. Put a drain stopper in the disposal so no water can flow out through the bottom 2. Fill the sink with hot water mixed with soap and chlorine bleach. The hotter the water the better. 3. With the water running put one hand on the stopper and the other on the switch, as you pull out the stopper, turn on the switch. (Be sure to do it in that order, to keep your hand from getting chopped up!) 4. Let all the water run out of the sink and leave the water running as long as there's suds. 5. Repeat two or three times. Wait a day or two. With any luck the smell will be gone. The reason this works is that junk gets stuck on the walls of the drain, and since it's garbage, it rots and stinks. By immersing it in soapy water, the junk gets dislodged and goes down the drain and out of your life.
