Bad Smells"I once left the world's stinkiest guff in a lift before sending it down to a group of Germans, all bustling to be first in the doors upon its arrival," giggles Boarders. Tell us your stories involving farts, noxious gasses and unpleasant smells.

Dead (partial) ratSpent a couple of years as a lad working in medical research. One of my jobs was to maintain a colony of rats. Not just any old rats, but very expensive ones with a specific genetic defect, useful for experiments. Each one cost more than I earned in a week. They normally had a room to themselves, but as we were short of space some standard white rats were moved in to share temporarily. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of the defect was a weak immune system and my very expensive rats started dropping like flies with something picked up from the lodgers.
Rats are lovely creatures, but regard everything as food, including their dead mates. Every day I had to clear out the remains from the cages, a tail, a pair of back legs (they always seemed to start at the head), guts, sometimes just less rats than previously. I guarantee, once you have smelt dead, half eaten rat, it stays with you for life.

your b3ta name reminds meof a polecat we used to have at an 'animal club' at our school. He used to escape on the odd occasion and his favourite pastime of an evening was dragging rats out of their cages THROUGH THE BARS. Nice. Left the mice, the guinea pigs and chinchillas alone, strangely.

Bad smellsI don't think it could be as bad as the smell of a rat disgorged by a 3.5metre python.
