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."

    Actually, (to take a bit of a tangent) I read somewhere that it may one day be possible to detect cancer by smelling someone's breath with an electronic nose.
