AeroS does NOT smell like a rotten fish because:

The human body sweats to regulate body temperature, in doing so it excretes sodium, which has a salty smell and taste. In general most animals are not attracted to the smell of salt (save for horses and deer which is the purpose of salt licks, however, it is important to note that in most states it is illegal to use salt licks for hunting purposes).

If in the act of sweating there was a pungent odor of fish that came along with it; it could be presumed that AeroS would be continually followed by a gang of cats (or kittens, you never know, they can be vicious creatures). Many scientific studies have been undertaken to prove the strong correlation between the smell of fish and the 'stalking' reaction invoked in cats. Millions of dollars have been spent as this knowledge has been considered of the utmost importance to PETA activists everywhere. Time and time again, the same scenario has been witnessed: smell like fish, cats follow.

The reasoning is clear: Cats have an insane sense of smell, it is the strongest of their senses, and is estimated to be more than 100 times stronger than humans. Due to this information it could easily be argued that the odor not necessarily even be 'pungent,' just present. Because of their superior sense of smell that would be all that is required in order for the cats to smell him and follow him around hoping that he was going to be the source of their next meal.

However, AeroS has never made any mention of a gaggle of cats following him around. No other member has said anything about this type of peculiar incident either. Based on this reasoning it can be presumed that AeroS does not smell like fish, not even remotely.

Haha, well played. That is my eventual goal, but Clause will only let me have one cat and one dog.

;-)

WAIT! Isn't there normally a family/close relation clause (no pun intended) on these contests? Calamity has an advantage!

[calamity77]

Yeah, I asked him about that, he said if it was close that he would ask someone else to do the final judging. Also, he was kind of disappointed that no one had responded yet, so I told him that I would do it on my 'weekend' (which is monday and tuesday). So, as he is asleep and I am awake, I decided to do one of them now.

[kae]

haha. My question is, who went into AeroS' place to take that picture of the cats... were they wearing a biohazard suit!?

and I was just joking Cal!

[Clausewitz]

Exalt to Calamity for throwing down the gaunlet!

In less than 48 hours, my 175 sms isle will start to overflow. Hence final judging will take place at that time, so I can send off the shipment.

And the prize goes to Calamity.

Maybe next time somebody will challenge her 35k gold on the way - ETA 30 hours.
