You know how when people are blind, sometimes their other senses are more sensitive to compensate? Now usually, I guess it'd be most reasonable for the hearing to be improved, kinda like Daredevil, but what if instead, you had a super developed sense of smell? To the point where you could smell the ink of individual letters on a page. So you could read a book by smell, haha, well, I think it'd be amusing at least. Also, I think it'd be pretty amusing if they had flavored text too; not necessarily to replace reading by sight, but to augment it. Like, the flavor of the text could reflect the topic/mood of the passage. For instance, a text about war might taste like blood, and a passage about the countryside might taste like grass... and a cookbook? mmmmmboy. Hahaha. Well, I guess flavored text wouldn't be the most sanitary thing in the world, but it'd certainly be interesting. Kinda like scratch-n-sniff books, but you're licking the pages instead. I'd always wondered how they got scratch-n-sniff stickers to work. I thought maybe the scratching provided activation energy for some kind of chemical reaction, or maybe the abrasive scratching action stripped away scented particles. Well, I decided to do some research on it (way to utilize my exam studying time, huh?) and it turns out that my second theory was pretty close. Take a look at HowStuffWorks.com to see the details.
I took the Engineering Dork Quiz (link via Danny) and got a 90.16%... HARDCORE! haha. I do know the answers to get a 100, but I guess I'm not that dorky, haha.
