No offense but if you're going to answer, please do so with serious
responses. It doesn't take a rocket-scientist to figure out that
you're purposely goofing around.

Then omit number one. The rest are reasonable explanations, plus the
possibility that you may have one of the many forms of anosmia.
Usually it is just age, but sometimes changes in the sense of smell
are the first symptoms of a brain tumor.

Have a nice day.

The only disease I am diagnosed with is Asperger's syndrome. I got a
brain scan 5 months ago, no anomalies -- such as tumors. In addition,
I am only 23, so you can take 'age' off the list. I've also taken
smell tests in my organic chemistry lab. I've takes organic chemistry
as a course in my college. Long list of chemicals I've gone through.
Still no answer to the stench of ripe fruits. In addition, none of the
chemicals I sniffed even remotely smell like ripe fruit.

My guess is the stink of ripe fruits is a result of a mixture of
different organic substances, excluding the following:

1. putricine

2. ethylene [sweet smell]

3. butyric acid [or any acid/acidic substance for that matter]

4. ethanol [sweet smell resembling most alcoholic beverages]

4. chemicals resulting from fungus

5. chemicals resulting from decomposition

Okay, there's your answer. It is also true that food companies go to
some lengths to prevent these processes, so don't rule out the brain
tumor hypothesis either.

Ever since I was born, I've perceived the smell of ripe fruits to be
bad. Nothing has changed in terms of that. If I ever had a brain
tumor, the signs would show, and there would be other neurological
symptoms as well -- such as paralysis, involuntary movements, impaired
vision/hearing, visual/auditory hallucinations, impaired balance,
dizziness, vertigo, memory loss, false memories, distortion of
existing memories, loss of awareness, decreased level of
consciousness, alteration in sense of time, dissociative states,
tinnitus, etc.

I noted he said he had Asperger's syndrome.

It is a severe personality disorder that explains why he won't listen to
any of the answers that he's been given.

The cure for it is a severe beating.

To Those Who Ca

I would like to give you some information about my disability. The
reason I am posting this message is to help avoid any potential
misunderstandings [though it's probably too late].

I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). AS is a
neurological condition that causes significant impairment in social
interactions. People with AS see the world differently and this can
often bring them in conflict with conventional ways of thinking. They
have difficulty in reading body language, and interpreting subtle
cues. In my situation, I have significant difficulty with natural
conversation, reading social cues, and maintaining eye contact. This
can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding about my intent or my
behavior. For example, I may not always know what to say in social
situations, so I may look away or may not say anything. I also may not
always respond quickly when asked direct questions, but if given time
I am able express my ideas.

However, it's important to note that Asperger's does not affect the
sense of smell.

On Usenet, the text-equivalent of my disability is probably noticed. I
do apologize profusely, for any inconvenience it causes.

Thank you very much in advance for your understanding, cooperation,
and assistance.


Best Regards,

Radium

These all sound about right. However, ripe fruit smells nice. It's the
over-ripe fruit that starts to smell bad.

Possibly. However, AFAIK, the stink of OVER-ripe fruits is *also* a
result of a mixture of different organic substances, ^^excluding^^ the
aforementioned 5 categories of chemicals.

Ever smelled a papaya? EEWWWWWWWW! Stinky!

No, but it definitely could have something to do with your inability
to accept the sincere answers that have been given you in this thread.

Fruit smells bad only to you. It doesn't smell bad to the rest of us.

Sour fruits don't smell bad. In fact, they smell delicious.

IMHO, there is nothing more appetizing than the fresh, delicious,
heavenly, bright, warm, cool, elastic, vibrating, buzzing, tingly,
rejuvenating, refreshing aroma of sour, organic, natural, pesticide-
free, red-&-green peaches right from the tree.

Compare the above paradise to the stench of yellow, squishy, sugary,
juiceless, starch-like, over-ripe peaches. EWWWWW! Stinky stinky
stinky.

Then just don't eat them for pity sakes!

I don't see what your issue is!

Everybody has individual tastes. Just go with what works for you.

Knowing the "chemical composition" is not going to change anything.

Have them up your meds.

Please.

I want to know the chemical composition so I can use those malodorous
compounds for olfactory-sadomasochistic purposes and to play pranks on
my enemies by making them stink badly like yellow, squishy, sugary,
juiceless, starch-like, over-ripe mangoes, that way no one will go
near them.

Quick Quick. The party is soon!

Point taken. ;-)

I just need to kf the thread.

And that poster....

That way I won't be prodded into wasting my time.
I've dealt with AS people on other lists before, and they really are
never worth debating because it's like they just don't hear you or
something.

Hence my comment about needing a severe beating.

Please forgive me but there are some people I just have no patience for.

One of which, as I understand, is social cluelessness causes AS people
to often insult people or **** people off, unintentionally.

However, it's important to note that Asperger's does not affect the
sense of smell.

Actually, it may. AS people often have one or more senses overly
sensitive so something minor irritates them. Often it's something like
tags on clothes, they have to cut them off.
