Olfaction is the sense of smell.
“Hangover Heaven is a special bus continuously traveling Las Vegas Strip. They can cure any type of hangover even the worst ones by a special intravenously anti-hangover hydration solution consisting of vitamins, amino acids, and prescription medications.

The word cigar originated from sikar, the Yucatec Mayan word for smoking, which became cigarro in spanish, probably from the mayan sikar “(to smoke rolled tobacco leaves”- from sik “tobacco”) or from the spanish word cigarra (“grasshoppper”). However the word itself, and variations on it did not come into general use until 1730.
“The face is the feature which best distinguishes a person. There are special regions of the human brain, such as fusiform face area, which when damaged prevent the recognition of the faces of even intimate family members. The pattern of specific organs such as the eyes or part thereof are used in biometric identification to uniquely identify individuals.”

“In 2011 I travelled from Italy to Bucharest, where I spent a few weeks photographing the sewage system of Gare Du Nord (the city’s main train station) and the children who call it home. Under the guidance of a heavily-tattooed 30-year-old man who calls himself “Bruce Lee”, they spend their days begging in the street and sniffing a toxic paint called Aurolac. They meet every afternoon in the sewer, form a circle and begin their ritual. “It makes us forget the hunger and the piercing cold for a few minutes, but then everything gets worse and you want to die. This is why a lot of us end up cutting ourselves with knives and razor blades,” explained Bruce, as he showed me his own scars. Next to him sat Valentina, 27, who complained that the rats and the mice gnawing at her head would not let her sleep at night. Her friend Fiorentina, was 33 years old and two months pregnant. Her deformed hands are the hands of someone who was born and lives underground in conditions of excruciatingly poor hygiene, and who continuously uses drugs. Her son will almost certainly be born with physical deformities, too.In 2012, Europe’s biggest consumer brands are starting to invest in Bucharest, but the subterranean legacy of Ceausescu’s dictatorship continues to live its half life in the sewers. Then there was Costel. At 14 years old, he seemed to be the most pampered of the group, though his face hadn’t escaped the ravaging effects of Aurolac. He told me he liked living in the sewers, which are currently inhabited by an estimated 5,000 people.” - Alessio Paduano
