In a book called "Venus on the Halfshell" by Kilgore Trout, There is a dog-like alien race, that in order for the Earth's ambassadors to deal with them needed to train their sense of smell. Training was available up to a Doctorate in "Anumology". The embassies were paying big bucks for all that education until they found out that there were people in the population who enjoyed such work.

Fun true story. I had eaten a beef and black bean burrito from Baja Fresh for lunch. The day after, I had cooked off a giant cloud of gas, and was getting up to escape the scene of the crime. One of my co-workers came in and commented that the beef stew smelled wonderful! :rofl: I didn't have the heart to tell him. Then I had to sit in that effluvium and talk to him.  ::)

Is that Hitchens's razor?

Not in this case. If you look at Recusant's post it's the synthesis of atheism in the American environment. A cycle of refinement that make atheists appear outspoken which means that only outspoken atheists bother to get involved in debate and around it goes.

There is a product called Lume that claims that if you rub it on your privates and butt crack, at the end of the day your stink level will be 0 on a scale of 0 to 10, but if you don't it will be 5 on that scale. The worst job in the world would be the person who had to measure that stink level.

True - wasting time on my back porch. No one else could have possibly beaten my record.

TNP has personally experienced climate change.

Lorena Hitchens thinks they might have religious significance.

12 gods of Greece, maybe.
Roman's adopted Greek gods and changed their names.
