PLUMBING THE DEPTHS OF MY SCIENCE HOLE:

From deep within the science hole located in my basement, I have managed to produce a device of such invent-aciousness as to boggle and astound the minds of mere mortals.


My Science Hole

Behold the Nostrilator™! Look on my works, Ye Mighty, and despair!

The Nostrilator™

This ingenious device is capable of detecting and identifying the odor of any individual, and in the interests of science I have harnessed its mighty powers in the pursuit of the answer to that age-old question: what do celebrities smell like?

Methodology:
Harnessing the power of the Information Superhighway, and the mighty Nostrilator™, I undertook a systematic examination of the famous and the infamous. After capturing the unique odor signatures of my target subjects, I crunched the numbers using the prodigious might of my Ebcron Von Briggstratten 3000 ™.


Ebcron Von Briggstratten 3000 ™

The statistical analysis was mind-boggling, let me tell you! But, after many sleepless weeks slaving over the z scores of complex statistical algorithms devised by Nazi-era scientists, I was finally able to compile this brief list of celebrities and their unique odor profiles.

Results:


Veal Piccatta


Mainly burnt hair, but also a hint of cinnamon


Lemon Yogurt


Peanuts


Watermelon Jolly Ranchers


Pigeons and Old Spice


Snuggle fabric softener and smoked turkey cold-cuts


Pickle relish and dashboard vinyl


Cocaine and hookers
