    Of course you can detect lies using BO.


    Let's say you come upon a fragrant individual. Ask him if he used deodorant that day. If he says yes, he's lying.

    @junyo: A bit of movie trivia, if you freeze frame the second Jurassic Park movie while the T.Rex is tearing up what is alleged to be San Diego but which is actually downtown Burbank, you will see a movie poster for "King Lear" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.


    Now THAT would smell.

    Well, I thought I would add this as I am a repository of useless knowledge.


    The Stasi(East German Secret Police) had a library consisting of sterile sealed glass jars with scent pads/samples which were collected from people. They were hoping to develop the ability to judge who may have done something by their unique aroma. I forget the exact figures, but after the wall fell, they found something like an entire floor of these jars with peoples names on the labels.


    If anyone knows more facts, or I got something wrong, please correct.

    @Buckaroo_GitEmSteveDave: There was a book that came out about a year or so ago called "Punching In" where a guy infiltrated UPS, Apple Retail, the Gap and some other stores, getting front-line jobs under false pretenses, and then wrote about it. It's not like shipping a box with cameras stuck onto it, but you kind of get an idea of what the behind-the-scenes is like at brown.

    The only carrier I've ever had more problems with than UPS (Pronounced OOP btw...) is DHL. Nothing like repeatedly receiving packages that looked like they had been shipped via International Trebuchet service. OOPS just has problems w/ "We're sorry, but we had plane problems and your overnight package won't be there for 4 days."

    Strange to hear so many people having complaints. At the company I work we've been using DHL for a few years now and "never" had a problem. We ship out a few hundred boxes each month and it's very rare that we have a problem. 99.5% of the time it's delivered to our customers the next day. The few times we've had problems where a customer has called us up to ask where their stuff is it's generally already being sorted out by DHL by the time we get in contact with them.

    More than likely business accounts are being treated different from people using it for occasionally shipping items. i.e. less money being moved so don't care as much

    @linuxidiot: For a good while DHL was licensing their name out to local delivery companies. So the quality of the service would vary a lot depending on the quality of the service with the franchise.
