Slashdot Mirror

Christianfreak, one of the two people not to submit a new lawsuit today, writes "My boss pointed me to a website describing a new technology that will allow people to add scent to their web pages or email. The site claims they use Java and a better understanding of the human genome to create scents through a device called the "iSmell"." These folks appear to be serious. The mind boggles. Will people start complaining about overuse of the <STINK> tag? All right, a slashdot contest: name some internet experience (including URL if appropriate), and the smell that should accompany it. Funniest entry gets a slashdot t-shirt.

Update: 01/23 10:20 by michael : Okay, I've selected a winner. An honorable mention goes to comment 26, the perfect amount of shock value. But unfortunately, not funny enough to take the shirt. However, the comments following it are extremely funny. :)

But the first comment to make me laugh out loud was this one, with pirated smelz and snifz. Maybe I've just been reading too much about the RIAA and mp3's lately... Congratulations to the user known as Tim Behrendsen.
