I lost my sense of smell. Can I get it back again?

 

Do gay men respond to pheromones from other men, as men do from women and women from men?

 

If smell is so important, how do we smell each other through deodorants and perfume?

 

I'm sure that when I was younger, personal hygiene wasn't such a big thing, especially shaving body hair.

 

When a woman gets pregnant, why do some men suffer false pregnancies?

 

 

It's True - A recent study published in "Evolution and Human Behaviour" found that men who maximise their body space - by spreading their arms and legs in an ape-like fashion - were much more likely to score with the opposite sex. The study found that men who secured female attention made an average of 19 space-maximising moves, compared with only 10 made by their less-lovable counterparts. Taking up space demonstrates a male's status and prowess, which is why ladies apparently like it, whilst shifting politely to let others sit puts women off.

It's True - ambling around the house and the office takes you up to 4 miles a day.

It's True - someone sitting still uses about 60 calories an hour. A brisk walk burns off about 300, and strolling gently around the kitchen whilst you gossip burns off about 150.

It's False - it actually manages a highly fuel-efficient 6 INCHES!

It's True - The new device is on trial at terminal 4 and is intended to help staff to spot hidden weapons (!) or explosives. The filing-cabinet sized scanner produces black and white images of passengers, stripped of their clothes. If the trial is a success the scanner will be introduced at every airport in Britain.

It's False - We think life's hard for humans that are pregnant for 10 months, but for an elephant it's a whopping 22 to 23 months before they give birth.

It's False - Studies have shown that cats can produce over 100 different noises whilst dogs produce only about 10.

It's True - Traptek, a Colarado-based company, have found a way to apply odour-eating activated carbon particles to fabric using a modified photocopier. The carbon absorbs odours from even the whiffiest individuals !

It's True - it's dropped by around 10% over the last 150 years or so - at the current rate of decline it could disappear within 1500-2000 years. But this is not new - our magnetic field has been 'flipping' - reversing north to south - about every 200,000 years. Since the last one happened 800,000 years ago, we're well overdue for it to happen again now !

It's True - The 87 year old Frenchman's irrational fear of being buried alive stems from when he was 20 and his family had a coffin made for him, fearing he had been killed in a road accident. His designer model boasts an alarm that can be heard 500 metres away, food, and a minibar stocked with his favourite tipple - Ouzo !
