Sniff Off

Read: An electronic nose developed for air quality monitoring on Space Shuttle Endeavour can also be used to detect odour differences in normal and cancerous brain cells [which may help neurosurgeons fight brain cancer].

I also read that dogs have the same ability... but I don't think I want JR licking my brain... and sure he'd prefer sniffing the prostate... but really don't won't JR's nose up my butt or even NASA's "eNose" for that matter. Why did they call it the "eNose"? Isn't eWhatever so forever ago? Am I in a mood?

PS: E-mail signatures that say "Cheers" bug me.

PPS: I also read that it is able to sense "one to ten thousand parts per million" which somebody noted was really "1/100" or 1% which doesn't sound nearly as wonderful.
