Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.

Today’s interesting fact has to do with our sense of smell.
Our sense of smell affects us much more than you might think, even odours that are below our perception.
This was shown in a recent study of students living in several dorm rooms.
If the researchers released the sent of lemon oil just under the students perception in their kitchens, the students were far more likely to clean the kitchens than if the sent wasn't there.
