    I heard something about this the other day. Is it true? Supposedly the web site works in conjunction with the computer somehow so that you can smell what they want you to...That is freaking weird. Should we invest?????? Clutch, I want to smell that Larry Obrien Trophy.

    That is an old practical joke that made the email rounds a few years ago. There was a web page that was a "scratch-n-sniff" image of a lemon. The joke was to put a dab of Lemon pledge on your screen before you sprang the joke on someone.

    Actually the technology does exist, but you have to have a decoder on your end to interpret the signal and try to reproduce the digital scent.

    Being able to create websites that smell would give a whole new dimension to p*rn sites.

    I saw something on this a few weeks ago. They also plan to incorporate it into DVD movies for the home theater experience.

    Something tells me this, at least for now, falls into the category of more trouble than it's worth.

    I can think of a few websites you can visit, right now, that stink. [​IMG]

    a scratch-n-sniff movie was already done 20 years ago... did anyone see "Polyester"?

    It takes a lot of brains to enjoy satire, humor and wit- but none to be offended by them.

    I don't need a website to help me smell; I smell enough as it is.
