Not sure of a good place to post this so I'll just post it here.
As slvoid and I were finishing up a few laps in Prospect Park last night, I am pretty sure we may have smelled this:

Did anyone else get a whiff of that?

thats weird. I live in williamsburg and didn't smell anything but I was in the bathtub with my bike so I probably would have missed it anyway.

The best smell in the world is on 3rd Ave / 30th St in Brooklyn, right next to the federal prison. They make one of those "champagne cola" drinks there, and it ALWAYS smells like red gummy bears...

weird, I did not smell anything, but I live so far out (Bensonhurst) that I might as well be in Florida!

Oh, and has anyone else seen a really unusual number of dead pigeons today? I was barely on the streets at all, and I saw three... For those of you who smelled the good smell: I'm sure it was totally unrelated to whatever killed all the dead birds. So don't worry!

Today's Enquirer mentioned that the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man got into the cabbage last night. I don't even want to think about what that would smell like.

If that doesn't sound like a euphemism for something nasty, I don't know what does

Wow freak me out. I live in NYC but went to Edison, NJ last night for a function and on the way back I swore I could smell maple syrup. I thought I was crazy but I guess I was right.

I didn't notice it, but I didn't go out either.
