Do you smell in color?

Last night I had one of those dreams that was such a relief to wake up from. What's funny is that I keep having these moments of "oh no!" and then I remember oh yeah, it was just a dream.
Okay, enough build up, here's the dream:
I was visiting a friend who lives out of town and I was meeting new people. Everything was going great. So, I moved there. And I'm hanging out with some of my new friends and one of them says, "Oh Shad, I'm sorry, but you do not smell good today."
I said, "Oh no! Is it bad?"
Another new 'friend' pipes in, "Yeah, it's worse than usual."
"Than usual?"
"Yeah, I'd say it's probably... twice," he looks to the others in askance "as bad?"
They all shrug and nod.
I apologize again and leave.
And then I woke up...

It must be found.
Maybe the movie The 5th Element, wasn't so far fetched. Well, okay, the movie itself probably was but I just read an interesting article about an inkjet printer that makes human skin. Just put in the DNA sample and presto. They say some day bones and organs may be possible too.
I'm thinking (hoping?) this technology could give mail-order bride a whole new meaning.

Now that I look at this, I guess it's kind of strange that my "crazy dream" is about me smelling bad, and my look at what's going on in the real world is about using a printer to make a new person.

That's brilliant! I bet it'd be pretty useful to Hollywood special effects guys too. "Wow, how'd they make it look like they're really burning human flesh!?" "Dude, that IS human flesh."
