Not being able to smell bad things (amines, thiols) is superficially awesome. Sadly, I don't know when brain cells are dying, so I need to keep canaries (undergrads) around.

I'd write up the stories here, but they're just not as fun without flailing hand gestures, ask me in person if you haven't been enlightened yet. (Hint: wafting is good.)

"What the hell is that?"
"Hmm?" "Something some smells damn putrid!"
"Oh oops, right. Smelling."

Godspeed.
