Petrol

I love the smell of petrol, i heard it is bad for you. is this true? and yes i know its random.

Yeah I have to admit it smells good. I don't know why, I guess its due to it chemical makeup. Of course sniffing petrol is very bad for you. A lot of people do it as someone would sniff glue or paint, and those people are seriously not well anymore and never will be again. Its easy to spot a paint sniffer cuz they usually have silver on their fingers/hands.

oh ok. does anyone know why its so harmful? what chemicals do the damage? and what are the effects of sniffing it too much?

It's dangerous cuz of hydrocarbons and up until a while ago, lead. Go here for more...

You guys like the smell of gasoline? You don't like the smell of whiteboard markers too do you? The stuff smells awful.

Lighter fluid always smelled good to me, and yes gasoline. Jet fuel smells horrible.

That was when I was a kid. Now I know better.

Now I like the smell of women.

Our sense of smell is the most nostalgic, meaning we relate smells with times and places in our lives. When I smell freshly cut grass I think of workin in the yard with my dad when I was a kid. When I smell a roast cooking I think of sunday afternoons as a kid. Its the only sense that is directly wired to the brain.

Yeah I have to say that I prefer the smell of women to petrol
