My theory is an antifreeze leak on a huge scale. Antifreeze leaking in a car smells sweet and syrupy. You don't usually notice the leak until you turn on the heat for the first time in the Fall.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Addendum: officemate and I were discussing anthrax that smelled like baking bread. It's a pretty good way to kill people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
and no one knows what it is.
Pancakes from the fifth dimension?

Because books.

In the house where I grew up, when we turned the heat on for the first time, it always smelled like licorice.
The NYC smell thing is very creepy, and I'm not even in NYC.
Thinking about the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is making me giggle, though.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Making the people of New York crave waffles is a very *subtle* form of attack. Not particularly effective, unless you somehow simultaneously interfere with the city's waffle supply.
Man, Al Qaeda must have hired some new interns or something.

Maybe the whole obesity epidemic is an Al Qaeda plot. Destroying America sweetly, one Krispy Kreme at a time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Tom, they're WILEY these terrorists.
They're publishers now?
