Oh man, I just tried what you suggested but I gashed my arm and now I've got a big evil looking scab. I'm being interviewed on TV in like half an hour about this whole thing, I need to get rid of this scab, any suggestions?

No, if I understood him correctly, you will see no more Karmillo's posts in this topic (unless someone tattoos "Karmillo" on his/her forearm).
And, as a matter of fact, nor will you see mine. I must say, I loved the idea (Thanks, Phantom!) and by all means, keep it going, guys (though I believe the thread has run its course and anybody making yet another pea soup joke will bring its ultimate demise), but I am outta here.

That's a great idea Phantom! Smell synthesizers are indeed the future. And, oh yeah, Pee Soup!

I can see the market in smell synthesisers but I think you should check around before manufacturing them because I'm sure that some German avant-garde/progressive rock band might've already got the idea.

Karmillo, are you reading this?
I guess I understand the need to keep our production plans secret. Just drop me a PM then. P.S. WTF is wrong with those birds?!

Gah, why can't I edit that post!
I'm never going to live that typographical error down. Please, for the last time, I meant "Pea Soup", not "Pee Soup"!!! -

Um... Jaz... I think you meant "Pea Soup". If the other stuff is green then you may want to consult your doctor.

I know your looney Jaz, but seriously: peeing in your soup. Isn´t that going too far!
Guess what! We´ve had birds doing formations in our garden all day. I never realized they had such intelligence to actually spell out Die Cats Die! correctly. That was more than I ever had expected. Then they just flew away in an incoherent way.

Talk about disgusting foods, we had really jucky Pee soup in school today. It was all green, and I didn't want to eat it.
However, I agree that Tibsie should demonstrate to us the courtship dance of peacocks. With the feathers! *runs and hides* -

Smell synthesizers?
On a side note, birds are more intelligent than we give them credit for. I don't know about peacocks, but it is well-documented that number of American turkeys booking international flights doubles in the week preceding Thanksgiving day, to take just one example. I'm sure someone around here has a similar story to tell.

I am not giving a demonstration of that.
Your smell synthesizers might actually prove useful there, though. The courtship dance may well involve the release of pheromones, making a demonstration of their courtship dance - something that you might persuade someone else to do - more realistic. |

No, it's actually a lot more complicated than the average human dance. They also do lots of actions with their upper bodies bobbing up and down and displaying their rear ends.
I believe Rob is an expert on the subject. Go on Rob, show us how it's done.

Interesting, do you think it could be humanly possible to do something like that? I'd really like to try some new (weird) dancing moves on some girl I know.

Speaking of illusionists, there's this tibetian monk that can swing his arms so fast that he moves up from the ground like a minature helicopter.

Well of course, that sort of trick shouldn't be attempted unless you have trained staff with a bucket of sawdust, some trifle and a needle and thread standing by.
Much more sensible is David Copperfield's new act where he performs the peacock mating dance despite the fact that human anatomy isn't really suited to the movements. Anyone heard of any other amazing human feats involving supposedly impossible actions?

Are you kidding? Children find trifle DISGUSTING. Yesterday I was sitting in a restaurant, and I've witnessed a little girl feeding her sawdust doll with it when her parents weren't looking.
