The Missing Link

Siemens says ... you stink
[Reuters]
"Curiously strong" Altoids mints aren't your only defense against curiously bad breath. Cell phones are now roaming into halitosis territory -- and are even calling body odor (BO) on the carpet. Siemens is going on the offensive, working on a chip that sniffs out malodors. The chip goes into a mobile phone -- when it gets a whiff of something foul -- your breath, your body, your surroundings or all the above -- it will alert you. No word yet on how it will alert you -- perhaps a call, a text message or a flurry of gagging sounds. Siemens says the "smell phone" will be handy at detecting potentially dangerous gases and possibly keeping folks who've had too much to drink away from the wheel. That's nice, but you have to think that one day, single guys everywhere will be breathing heavily into their cell phones -- and not for the reasons they used to.
