not working on a lot of sleep here

[gfish]

An odd chain of thoughts occurred to me last night. So, urine can acquire the aromas of things we have recently ingested. But there is no link between your digestive system and bladder -- the kidneys filter the blood directly. Does this mean your blood can smell like coffee or asparagus? I find that a surprisingly creepy idea.

In other scatological news, this morning I narrowly avoided an ambush by a seagull with what I can only describe as torrential diarrhea. It was perched on the edge of the building 7 stories up, feathery little butt hanging over the edge. Far too well aimed to be accidental, at the side entrance which very few people other than myself use. I've been wracking my brain all day, trying to think what I might have done to anger it.

La la la. Go BC-STV!

I agree that blood is probably usually too strong-smelling to clearly notice non-blood smell additives... but that just makes me curious to sniff plasma. Betcha scents would show up more readily there!

Re: semen, the worst additive evar is aspartame. Ugh.

*I* think cigarettes and garlic make aspartame seem pleasant.
