...sings of God, cocaine, phone sex, unemployment and, of course, love. Renee's songs may have varied subjects (she wrote or co-wrote every song on the album), but they invariably share one thing: a sharp melodic hook. The listener, once caught, is reeled in quickly.

Mammals and reptiles detect pheromones with a tiny nasal cavity called a vomeronasal organ, or VNO. Anatomists don't think humans have a VNO and aren't sure we would need one to perceive pheromones. Though a few researchers think they've found telltale pits just inside the nostrils, these may do nothing...
