This morning I got a little freaked out that there was a slight gas smell in the apartment. Then I noticed that it was stronger near the window. Asked Bob to open the window and take a sniff. He reported, "Oh my god, it smells like if you had a friend made of gas, and you invited him over and he cut one." Another sniff out the window. "It's like the whole city farted at once!"

Gas-like odor permeates Manhattan.

I think what I need is one of those light alarm thingies

I need the rest of the world to conform to my sleep cycle.

So, apparently the fact that I've been smelling gas and feeling nauseous is not related to my being pregnant. Eep!

"It's like the whole city farted at once!"

No one light a match!

Jeez, y'all and your mysterious smells. I think the syrup one was less alarming.

Me & the office mate are talking about it. He couldn't smell it in Brooklyn so we figured New Jersey farted. Or else their sulfur flavoring plant exploded.

Or else their sulfur flavoring plant exploded.

Maybe some unspeakable demon came up from Hell and then forgot to close the Hellmouth....

Authorities were investigating the source of a mysterious gas-like odor Monday that stretched across a large part of Manhattan, including Rockefeller Center.

"Fuck Manhattan! How's 45 Rock?!"

Across the Hudson River, Jersey City, New Jersey, mayor's spokeswoman Maria Pignataro said officials there were told the odor was due to a gas leak in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, just north of Greenwich Village.

...sorry.

Yeah, I couldn't smell it until about 14th St this morning (coming from Brooklyn on the F), and then it got REALLY strong at 34th and 42nd.

Apparently they've evacuated Macy's and Saks, but not Grand Central. WTF? Shoppers need more protection than commuters, I guess.

I'm deeply amused that an entire city smells like gas and that it's all the fault of bon bon's neighborhood!

I think the syrup one was less alarming.

I can imagine so. Plus syrup would just be hungrymaking.
