...while its often skirts the edges of silliness, it's surprising how consistently listenable it is, especially "Porpoise Song," the failed single from "Head," and Nesmith's contributions. It also features a live cut, "Circle Sky," which lays to rest any doubts about their viability in concert. Nesmith's nasal vocals nothwithstanding, his efforts are about the only redeeming feature of the final disc, a somewhat grimmer prospect that includes late-'60s meanderings, some truly naff Davy Jones treacle, and more of Mickey Dolenz' inane flights of fancy than any sentient being should be forced to endure - along with some...
PRENASAL DRIP INVENTOR: MURRAY GROSSAN, M.D. Kids are always sticking stuff up their nose, so they might as well try something good for 'em, right? The Grossan Nasal Irrigator, a (yikes) pulsating nasal douche, attaches to a WaterPik to clean the area where a common cold becomes a raging flu. Yes, a few people have complained of discomfort, but nasal irrigation is a staple of traditional Indian medicine, and it does improve ciliary function and keep sinus tissue moist...
BREATHING UNEASY Those nasal strips athletes wear to boost their performance may not be up to snuff. The theory is that the strips, which hold open nasal passages, allow more oxygen to get to hard-working muscles. Not so, according to a small study. The results, disputed by strip manufacturers, show that nasal devices are no better than a placebo in changing oxygen uptake or improving endurance...
...check-in counters, colored-in poster boards explaining that the desolate region of Logan airport roping them in was not under construction, but was for those lucky few who had splurged on North American. Thanking God that they had made it to Cancun alive, they were confronted by the nasal sounds of Larry, a self-proclaimed World Class God who had been "fuckin partying on spring break for the past seven years." Impressive. "Fuckin' A," Larry yelled, "I know you guys are down here for two reasons and two reasons only - to have sex and to get fucked...
Like our proboscises, e-noses are only as good as their sensors, and all of them operate on principles remarkably similar to those of a real nose. Humans detect odors with up to 650 types of receptors found on cells high up in the nasal passages, somewhere between our eyebrows. How the nose works is still something of a mystery, but it is believed that each receptor responds to a subtle characteristic of a molecule that carries odor--its peculiar shape, say, or degree of oiliness--rather than to the molecule itself. Working together, the receptors can generate unique "smell...
