How Can They Tell If A Fish Has Gone Bad? Come To Think Of It, How Can ANYBODY Tell?

Due to a genetic quirk, some people are immune to the smell of fish. When you smell, um, fish, they smell caramel, potato, or rose. It's very rare but especially prevalent in Iceland. It's like a weird superpower, this article notes, which might lead you to think about other weird superpowers, like, I don't know, tasting chocolate when eating liver, or hearing anything else when everyone else is hearing... oh, insert your own least favorite band here. It's too cheap a shot for me. (New York Times)
