so BOC8H10 (C6H4C2H6) is a real stinker? I mean I figured it would be an aromatic, but over and above?
Hmm. Who knew.

I should have been an actor, but I wound up here. Here being an all purpose spreadsheet herder and Number Farmer for projects I'm not cleared to know the name of. Nice and abstract, and nothing I wasn't prepared for by 6th grade. Gotta love going through DifEqs in college and wondering 20 years later if you're going to be able to get it back in time to teach your kids Calc 1 in high school.
People tell me I should be an artist, a brewer, a web designer, a radio guy, or, Dog forfend, a teacher. I don't like what I do, but it gives me the money to do what I like.

Regarding smelly engineers, I think I used to smell a bit, but now my two boys spray up the whole house with Axe body spray and other teenage odor covers/girl attractants and the residual vapors keep me smelling like a french whore engineer....before my second-hand deodorizing maybe it was more like a german whore engineer....but an engineer nonetheless.

My sparring partners in Martial arts (for lack of a better term. We didn't do sparring. Three other guys more or less my size. The Rhino Brothers.) were all engineers - Mech, Civil, and Environmental. If creativity is 99% persperation, I pity their coworkers. The didn't get to give it back. I did.
