plasticbag : Words 'can change what we smell' - A rose by any other name might not smell as sweet, UK research suggests. - Yet more evidence, if you ask me, that the entire sense is made up (but more interestingly, it may explain some of the complexities of my lack of sense of smell)

plasticbag : "Quality of Life in Olfactory Dysfunction" - Interesting article about what effects not having a sense of smell has on your state of mind. I get the impression that it's mostly the people who lose their sense of smell who complain about it most. Wimps.

plasticbag : The power of smell and the smell of power - women apparently find 'dominant' men more attractive only if they're already in a relationship and are in the most fertile part of their cycle - It must be so weird for you people trapped into animal patterns by your primal sense of smell.
