    Scientists in China just discovered the main villain of the next Jurassic World film.

    Also, the thing about the nose is interesting. While most people don’t think about it, our sensitivity to so many distinct chemicals is why it’s so hard to describe smell outside of comparison to other smells. Not to mention, there are many animals with much, much more sensitive senses of smell.

    I’ll take that bet! My nose can’t smell one smell, let alone a trillion.

    That may be true about the human nose, but the human nose’s ability to detect smells is almost nothing compared to a bloodhound’s nose.

    What good is the ability to detect that many smells if you cannot separate them?

    6000 miles of pushing something not seeing where you are going, plus that must have been hell on windy days!

    Earl probably could have gotten the same mileage pushing a politician. Plenty of air there.

    All those smells available, but I still like the smells from a newly opened jar of peanut butter or can of coffee. Obviously a lot of possible smells are wasted on me.

    An opposable thumb. Whodda thunk it.

    Why would anyone listen to a guy pushing a giant inflatable globe?? But people “listen” to viral memes they get from social media… so, it’s probably just me…

    About 2 years ago, researchers said there may be a connection between loss of smell and risk of developing Alzheimer’s.

    Who was that masked man? Did the dog smell something and fell over?

    Most of the trillion could be found in my barracks when I was in the army.

    Most creatures have a sense of smell that’s significantly superiors to that of humans.

    Since you challenged me – regarding a trillion smells – I don’t believe it. (Do you KNOW how many a trillion is??) You couldn’t even count to a trillion in a lifetime.

    “Jurassic-Era” is incorrect. The Jurassic PERIOD is the middle period of the Mesozoic Era the “Age of Dinosaurs.” The Jurassic lasted 55 million years.
