Ummm, anybody remember the 1984 Tom Selleck film "Runaway" (written & directed by Michael Crichton)? Gene Simmons was having way too much fun with "smart bullets"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCZY9Z6WvSY
The headline's a bit misleading — we're not talking about banning everyone from wearing perfume everywhere. We're talking about inescapable situations, like the workplace, where you don't have the option of walking the other way. Don't airlines have a rule against strong scents for passengers?
@LTH "Why PERFUME??!! Why not CIGARETTES??!!!"
Uhhh, hasn't smoking been banned in the workplace for DECADES?
Reading the article, I was starting to get a little upset, 'cause I kinda liked several bits of the projects mentioned. Then I noticed the ACTUAL title of the article: "The 10 BEST of the Worst Comic to Screen Adaptations," NOT the "10 Worst..."
Hmmmm, nope, I don't see the need for this. Sauce clings just fine to the surface of things, and since they charge you for extra sauce if you use yours up quicker... Ohhhhh, I see the logic now! Never mind.
I'd been reading Cliff Pickover's "Surfing Through Hyperspace", and he was describing how, if a four-dimensional being poked it's "finger" into our world, it would appear as a shapeless, fleshy blob changing in size, similar to how if we poked a finger into Flatland, it would appear as a disc changing in diameter. I kept thinking, "Hmmm, tumors are shapeless fleshy blobs that can change size rapidly..."

Perfect bookend for the Shuttle era!
