Not only farts, but just any smells? I've got some nasty ones here that I would really love to send as attachments to a select few of you guys.

Let's see what becomes of this thread.

(Will this make the MacNN front page? I have my fingers crossed. Bowels loose.)

Drats. Hmm. Well, think how fun it would be to bounce those e-mails. Or forward them to your friends.

There was a device a few years back that did this; you could use it for games and whatnot. I don't know whatever happened to it.

No, it was a segement I saw on TechTV years ago. I saw the unit and the people that were developing it, but it turned into (joke coming...) vaporware (rim shot).
