Ever Smell T-Rex's Breath?

Posted by simoniker on from the sniff-sniff-boom dept.

Jim Hawkins writes "Well, in case you never have the chance of getting up close and personal with a T.Rex, Dale Air, a company who 'nose' its smells, has recreated Tyrannosaurus Rex's breath for London's Natural History Museum. Seems people made a stink about the rotting flesh smell that would exist on T-Rex's breath - guess someone forgot to tell him to brush his teeth."

    The firm is testing an aroma dispenser which plugs into a computer and is controlled from the keyboard.

    "Say you've got help desk staff who are getting tense and frustrated -- they can press a button to get an aroma to help calm them down," Knight said.

    A case mod with a built-in bong would work much better.
