Personally, I'm turned away from colognes, certain deodorants, and perfumes. Then again, having a bloodhound-like nose doesn't help either.
One of the biggest annoyances I had with my workplace(s). I mean, my vision actually almost synchronized with my sense of smell to the point of actually seeing the area of aroma; signaling my consciousness to avoid the area at all costs.
In other news: Red Bull Air Race is on right now. Which reminds me, I wanted to try going through that in Flight Sim X for the past couple days. See how well my flight skills really are.
Then again, my suicidal piloting skills are more from the X-Wing, Ace Combat/Air Force Delta or GTA games. And an offshoot thought from ages back; even with realism set to full, would it be possible to make an F-15 do a 360/180 without tail-spinning, or requiring more proper maneuvers first? I'm talking about a high-speed lateral 360/180 caused by just a minor lift in the trim angle, a little bit of rolling, and lots of yawing, but retaining the trajectory with the engines temporarily shut off, (possibly fire off a missile, or some gun rounds while facing backwards) and then yawing back to facing forward, and continuing flight as if nothing happened.
I remember learning a similar technique in a dream once, and it felt physically possible and probable. I just need to get the feel right to pull it off. But I would have to double check with X-Plane as well to be certain, seeing as their sim operates on a slightly different physics engine that is claimed to be more accurate with airflows and such. It was like, suddenly and swiftly trim upwards by 10-30 degrees, compressing a bunch of air under the wings, as this happens, shut off, or decrease the engine power and spin the ship around like a discus using lateral control (lots of rudder; take advantage of the sudden rush of air, and as much area as possible; use flaps and VTOL engines (if not F-15) if necessary), and improve the odds of semi-stalling by rolling to manipulate the extra airflow, and surf the compressed air-wave that bellows under the wings. Essentially, surf the aircraft in the sky. Now why an F-15 to attempt this? The dream trained me the technique in an F-15, it had a good wing area, F-15s are rather sturdy (there's even a story of one having been landed with only 1 wing intact), and it has plenty of area to manipulate the air with. You can probably try with an F-14, but it might be a little trickier.
I think it would also help to start with a minor downward incline to build up speed, and aim where the air pocket would form to make the trick easier to pull off.
