- Four20, on 12/25/2007, -2/+20I could see the cops getting their hands on this. . .this is a sad day for potheads. . .
- Poltron, on 12/25/2007, -2/+19So now instead of guessing who farted in the train, now I can see the residues on their pants... nice.
- mikezerobot, on 12/25/2007, -0/+16Finally we can determine if he who smelled it, delt it.
- DeskFlyer, on 12/25/2007, -1/+17Visibility in Trenton would be down to zero.
- wonderchemist, on 12/25/2007, -1/+16This could be confusing, if someone says "He looks like *****", do they mean he looks like it or smells like it?
- Abominous, on 12/25/2007, -0/+10I want pictures of stink!
This article would have been so cool with pics! - Markpdotcom, on 12/25/2007, -1/+10Welcome to my block list, weird spammer guy!

- brentinkc, on 12/25/2007, -2/+7What about the bloodhounds, dude?
Nobody ever thinks about the bloodhounds. - jkarhu24, on 12/25/2007, -0/+5Pics or it didn't happen.
- chonuts, on 12/25/2007, -1/+6I wouldn't worry just yet. I'm pretty sure it's still cheaper and easier for the street cops to stick with the K-9 units. Actually, continue worrying. Those K-9's are pretty damn good at what they do.
- rsh28630, on 12/25/2007, -0/+3Can't take credit for noticing this phenomenon, but as a species, we have a VERY limited vocabulary for describing olfactory stimulus when compared to our other senses. What's fascinating is how often we attempt to explain fragrance with words originating from one of our alternative organs. I always though "smells like orange" was amusing since the fruit has such a distinctive odor and yet it's the color which predominates the verbal representation.
- jads, on 12/25/2007, -0/+3Not until it's renamed to Urectum to stop that silly joke once and for all...
- gbomb323, on 12/25/2007, -1/+4See smells? Been there. Done that. It's called LSD.

- ChileanGoD, on 12/25/2007, -0/+1"New method enables scientists to see smells"... They only attached the optic nerves to the nostrils, genius!
- KingGorilla, on 12/30/2007, -0/+1That has nothing to do with seeing smells
- pyromonkey, on 12/25/2007, -1/+2Nothing new, I can already see farts when it's cold outside.
- KingGorilla, on 12/30/2007, -0/+1Genius

- Smuikas, on 12/26/2007, -0/+1Or, if you're lucky (results are mixed and tend to be highly dependent upon physiology), about 18mg of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenethylamine.
- jubilee123, on 12/25/2007, -0/+1it's so cool, you've got to see this!
sorryz n0 pix0rz - umbriago, on 12/25/2007, -3/+4We'll get a case of beans and test it out in the cafeteria!
- bunt82, on 12/25/2007, -0/+1You could create visual masterpieces by farting.
- hobophobe, on 12/25/2007, -0/+1What, I suppose you could say, "smells like citrus," but in fact an orange has a particular smell different from a lemon or lime or even grapefruit.
More to the point, Online Etymology Dictionary says the word 'orange' originated as reference to the fruit, and is not documented as referring to the color until 1542. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=orange
But certainly, our language has a visual (and auditory) bias simply because sight is more primary to us (light does travel faster than odor, as does sound). - glinsvad, on 12/25/2007, -0/+1That reminded me of the penny arcade comic:
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/01/14 - alex4u2nv, on 12/25/2007, -2/+2Really? This isn't news. Potheads have already been able to see smell in many different colors =)
- robotosaurus, on 12/25/2007, -3/+3Only scientists will be able to see smells?
- comexpert01, on 12/25/2007, -0/+0Well Done! but Scientists need something more to explain about this...
- inactive, on 12/25/2007, -1/+1They will probably taze him until he is dead, and wishing he had been shot though
- inactive, on 12/26/2007, -0/+0What a great way to find out where the local Taco Bells are located. Nothing quite like the smells from a group of "diners" a few minutes after "making a run for the bathroom" at the local Taco Bell! Eau de toilette anyone?
- AlexFinn, on 12/25/2007, -3/+2they wont shoot you, just taze you.. you know what they are like
- MadScientist440, on 12/25/2007, -1/+0Synaesthesia FTW!
- PorkTornado1102, on 12/25/2007, -6/+4I didn't RTFA, but my guess is 4 hits of quality acid.
