"UHSEM schmoosem"

Perfume with the scent of Play-Doh is commercially available. What'll they think of next...

Hasbro believes that the smell will transport adults back to their youth. Not a bad assumption, smells can really do that for people.

"It takes three to tango"

Systems deteriorate, that's the law of entropy. Sometimes we can delay this by doing work, putting in energy.

Our dwellings gather dust and many things need to be cleaned. The accumulation of dust and dirt is entropy at home. I wonder if there is a connection between how people deal with entropy at home and entropy in their lives. Are those that always feel the need to clean strongly also those that are uncomfortable with disorder, ambiguity or complexity in their life? Do they need to keep things in their life clear, planned, concrete, tangible?
