Wasn't there a bad Sci-fi film called Re-Animator with some wild-eyed doctor on the cover wielding a gigantic syringe?

... a hammer to undo the dog on a vacuum chamber had better be a very special hammer.
$30 wooden** baseball bat. Problem solved.
** Yes, aluminum would work, but I bet the eddy currents generated when you swing it in a 5T magnetic field would either slow it down immensely or make it too hot to hold.
Yes, I'm kidding.
I'm also curious about your anecdote, was this gentleman aware of his odor? If so, how was he made aware? You mentioned a second opinion from an unbiased source, can you be more specific?
It depends on your definition of 'aware' - had he been told, yes. Could he sense it? I don't think so. I don't think he believes it when told there was a problem because I truly believe he couldn't smell it himself. It would be like trying to convince a pre-19th century person that disease was caused by tiny critters he couldn't see and not bad air that he could clearly smell.
As for the unbiased second opinion, I was suggesting to the OP that he ask someone who's not a friend or family (his words). Perhaps a doctor or nurse at his next checkup, or some other person who has no vested interest in telling him what they think he wants to hear; no one wants to delivery the news that "you stink".
Using soap in general isn't something I feel is needed since a regular rinsing leaves me non smelly.
According to your nose you may be non-smelly. Perhaps you're like a coworker of mine that could not smell BO. He didn't think he needed to wash regularly or use deodorant since he couldn't smell himself. Being an avid runner, he STANK most of the time; I mean he reeked to the point of making people's eyes water.
You really don't want to be 'that guy'. You might want to get a second opinion from an unbiased source (not "friends and family").

A whole one hundred dollars??? How generous!

Give These guys a call - I'm sure they can be available constantly for such an important task.
That's funny, the message I get from "Atlas Shrugged" is that greedy, handout-happy, micromanaging, do-gooder, fix-societies-ills, we know better than you governments that lavish money and influence on those that share their ideology and punish those that actually produce the wealth they redistribute are bad all the way around.
Sounds like "Atlas Shrugged." Why work when your efforts are stolen from you? Use their redistribution scheme against them.
I was like, "No they weren't - the first transistors were bulky as hell!"
... a half way decent viewing site should let you see ~5000 stars
Recent data suggests there are between 5000 and 6000 stars visible to the naked eye in both hemispheres, so any one person could only see at most about 2500-3000 at a time, and some of those would be obscured by haze at the horizon.
Nevertheless, a heck of a lot more than 50.
I thought fear was a choice
No, Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
Who says that? Muad'Dave says that!
Which 'institution' has done more harm to society, 419 scammers or the Catholic Church? I'll let you decide. The kids are the only innocent party, if you ask me.
You watched the new "Cosmos", didn't you?
