and do any cells in the nose have the ability to taste?

Yeah, but every time I try to use my tongue to smell, people get offended. ; )

Just kidding.

But it still remains a mystery that why did those ancient people squeeze the sausage juice into a cup.

It’s a lovely, sunny and hot bank holiday weekend here and the annual food and drink festival took place. I have to admit to getting stuck into bratwurst from one one of the stalls. Well, it’d have been rude not to. Luckily it wasn’t made in 3000bc. I think. I’ll let you know later.

But why would a sloth have to hold its breath for forty minutes?

Fun fact: all smells are comprised of particles floating in the air. Think of that the next time you “taste” an awful odor!

Yes, and those cells smell especially bad in the morning.

I am amazed someone took the time to figure out putting ground meat into the intestines. Don’t get me wrong, I love sausage – just can’t get a visual of someone doing that and saying “this is good”.

Snauseges came along after the bible was written. So they’re much more important. ~ Fido

Sloths: is there anything they can’t do? Besides sprinting.

Always wondered about the mysterious absence of sausages in the scriptures…although I think there was frankincense…

Why, pray tell, would a sloth want or need to hold their breath for 40 minutes? I hadn’t heard of diving sloths lately.

Heck, that’s nothing – my armpit has the ability to smell.

Eat some fish and onions and – Boy! Do they smell…

Would someone please tell the archaeologists that what the people in those ancient paintings are grabbing aren’t sausages…

Why aren’t people with bad breath saying “YUCK!” all the time?

Having snotted salt water, I will tell you that the nose can taste salt.

Ewwwww

Re the sloths’ reason for holding their breath: From “travelandleisure.com”: Sloths are ridiculously good swimmers. Sloths can swim three times faster than they can walk on land. And because of their ability to slow their heart rates to one-third its normal rate, they can also hold their breath for a whopping 40 minutes under water. Oct 20 2018

so mouthwash is to your smelly tongue what roll-on is to your stinky pits…?

The Bible was written? I thought it was chiseled, inspired by HIM! He who gave the sausage also… (because everything comes from him, right?)
