Half-life is the period of time it takes for a substance undergoing decay to decrease by half, well it’s been 6 hours since I had the Methi Chicken and the odours are actually getting stronger rather than weaker.
Clearly the sweat and perspiration induced by riveting, edge of seat action from the Arsenal – Barcelona game clearly did not help matters, and spraying half a bottle of Lynx only offered a somewhat temporarily relief.
I was so intrigued into the strong smell of Methi that I undertook some research. Basically Methi has a compound known as 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one (aka sotolon) which gives it a distinctive flavour. The human body doesn't metabolise sotolon at all, so it passes through the body unchanged - this makes sweat, urine and the breath smell like ,,,,,yes you’ve guessed it Methi !
Talking about genetically modified foods, why can’t some clever boffin make Methi smell like some expensive cologne.
Hi Asif,
ReplyDeleteI have written two messages on your last two posts and got thrown out at the end on both. Frustration city!
Anyway, mate. Some pointers for the future. The less I hear about your urine the better. That's better you and the doctor. And frankly smelling of urine, drinking disco tea and disco tea dancing suggest that Dubai has corrupted you rather than purified you. It's worrying.
Anyway for your next post, send out pictures of your gaff, your motor, your place of work and your silver plated Land Rover.
Cheers,
Shouma

That should read 'that's between you and your doctor.'
