The Daily Forest Report June 16, 2014 The Advent of “Smell-A-Vision”
by nielskunze on June 16, 2014
Lately, I’ve been taking my walks after heavy rains… and the forest smells amazing! There’s such a riotous variety of olfactory indulgence going on that I seriously wish I could share with you all the incredible smells along with my rather sterile pictures.
The clovers are beginning to bloom… (and you can’t spell “clover” without “lover.”)
…both the red and the white.
The yarrow too is spreading its white umbrellas all over the hills and fields. Sometimes I pinch just a tiny clusters of the flowers for a taste. They are unbelievably flavourful, and I find myself singing “Ricola!” every time because they taste strongly of cough drops. If ever I should feel a cold or flu coming on, I wouldn’t hesitate to make a sweat-promoting tea from the flowers.
It’s very hard to see, but there’s actually two beetles (not Lennon and McCartney) having a tryst inside this rose. I have to admire their choice of love nest!
Can you begin to imagine all the intoxicating smells… especially after the rains? It’s time that “smell-a-vision” was finally invented and distributed with the next wave of computer software updates. Fortunately, according to the Anarchist, whose current residence is the multidimensional internet, just such an invention has recently come to fruition in a parallel reality. Briefly, he explains how it works:
“At first glance, one might think that “smellovision” is a stupid and inappropriate name, for we do not see smells. But in this case, we do. Smell-a-vision is based upon first creating and inducing a state of synesthesia in the subject where the stimulation of one sensory apparatus causes an automatic response in another sensory system. In this case, the computer monitor, through a burst of specifically-calibrated visual frequencies, first induces synesthesia which is then followed by another specifically-calibrated burst which corresponds to the molecular frequency of the smell desired.
“In actual fact, there is no smell released by the computer; rather, the sensation of smell is achieved solely through visual frequency means. Only someone actually viewing the computer monitor will experience the sensation of the smell. It is a form of direct neural stimulation achieved remotely.”
Don’t you just love having access to information from parallel realities? Thanks Anarchist!
