Exploding scent

Published Friday, August 28, 2009

SAO PAULO (AP) — Talk about making a stink. A grenade-shaped bottle left under a busy bridge closed a major thoroughfare and brought police to investigate — only to discover that it contained French cologne. The black bottle of Arsenal cologne by the design house of Gilles Cantuel looked realistic enough for police to halt rush-hour traffic Thursday morning. The result was a three-mile (five-kilometer) traffic jam in South America's biggest city — already known for its congested streets. It wasn't clear if the bottle was left as a practical joke or for more sinister reasons, police investigator Renato Fernandes told the Globo news Web site. Police have made no arrests in the case.

    Speaking of exploding scents, what is up with Valley Creek? When you drive over the bridge, by the Graystone, there is a smell that will curl your toes.

    Any info on that?

    Okay - yesterday the smell was REALLY bad. What's going on with the creek? Is someone dumping something in it? Someone should go check that out... it's terrible. I don't know how the businesses near it can breathe outside. Blah.
