Hoover Maneuver

I think that if we didn't have noses, we would never know that scents existed. I know that sounds pretty elementary on the surface...and it probably is just a retarded thought, but whatever, I'll follow it. Say that you were the only person to have a nose and the first person to ever smell something. How would you explain that to someone? "Hey, see this thing on the middle of my face? Dude, this thing can detect invisible particles in the air and it let's me know about things that are around me that I can't see. Watch. Go into the kitchen and start cooking something. I'll stay here and then in a few minutes, I'll tell you what it is and yell it around the corner." But what if nobody ever had a nose, like ever? We would still probably be able to use science to figure out that there are microscopic particles in the air and crap, but we would never be able to detect them with our faces or without instruments. Maybe it's just me, but I'm always smelling stuff for some reason. Smelling things that don't need to be smelled. You know, just to be sure. I got a pen today from Hoovers (A D&B Company) and the end of it slides off and there is a USB flash-drive thingey in there. That's the friggen coolest. Thanks Hoovers! Your stupid stuff is way cooler than the other stupid stuff I get from companies. (By the way, it smells like new plastic). Smelling things probably evolved so that we would be able to tell what was good to eat and what wasn't. Funny to think about what it was like before that though (if it did, in fact, evolve for that reason). Animals just sticking everything in their mouth totally indiscriminately and sometimes dying, sometimes not. I wonder how the livers developed the smell gene though. You would think that this evolutionary double-blind experiment would've fizzled out after a while with all hereditary trails eventually winding up eating poison. Life sure was stupid back then.
