    As someone who's been to concerts by both Phish and The Grateful Dead, I can assure you there's no such thing as "a harmless compound created by a reaction between alcohol and acid."

    Fruitarom is an Israeli company. Better have that mystery smell tested independently. Remember the rumors about mossad passing out special chewing gum to the palestinians to induce mass sterility?


    Is this their way of preventing Manhattanites from reproducing?

    New Jersey Governor John Corzine held his own press conference where he announced that "Whoever smelt it, dealt it."

    Just east of Houston, there's a succession of smells as you head out into the swamps and oil refineries:


    First it's burning clutch, second comes burning tires and third, band-aids. Yes, the whole place smells like band-aids.

    If Bloomberg could find a pleasant smell coming out of New Jersey we could have used him when we were looking for WMDs in Iraq.

    Hizzoner is more than welcome to send his stench detectives over to my place on any Sunday morning after one of my weekend-long sausage-and-Stoli benders.

    In the north west Bronx, the Stella D'Oro factory on Broadway at 238th St. makes the whole neighborhood smell like a giant Breakfast Treat. Which is great, except that it makes you constantly crave Breakfast Treats.

    Nice work!


    Now maybe you'd care to explain why the SEC refused to investigate Madoff's corrupt operation despite repeated detailed requests?


    Or how World Trade Center 7 collapsed into its own footprint after a few hours of isolated fires?


    No?


    Well, okay--glad we solved the syrup smell though.
