DEREK 360: "Send me some of that stink"

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It has been done. It has FINALLY been done.


The Japanese have applied their brilliant scientific minds to the creation of a machine that actually "records" smells and then reproduces them. The machine records the odors and turns them into digital models. These models are then read by a seperate machine that uses combinations of 96 chemicals to reproduce the smells in a vapor form.

The scientist in charge, Takamichi Nakamoto, says that the machine is limited right now by it's large size but in the future the technology could be applied to such practical applications as sending a smell from one cell phone to another.

Holy Crap. Send some flower smells to your special lady. Send the rich stink of a nursing home on fire to your biggest enemy. Send the smell of blood to all the vampires hunting you. Send the smell of cut grass to your landscaper friends. Send the rank, disgusting odor of sewage to everybody. Send stinks from coast to coast at the push of a button.

This is exciting.

Here's the story.

Great reporting here Derek. Pretty soon Jade will be able to fart on anyone from anywhere - what a strangely interesting concept.

p.s. - someone just signed an email with ^_^ ... I hate Asia

p.p.s. - Wow ... one HUGE oversight on your part Derek. Let's please give credit where credit is due: this spectacular invention was brought to us by none other than the prestigious Tokyo Institute of Technology. You left a good opportunity on the table.

p.p.p.s. - I seriously have nothing better to do with my life right now. Earlier, I spent the better part of an hour reading Lebowski's "memorable quotes" page in its entirety. I will now plow a spoon into my eye socket.
