The apostle Plato / not quite synesthesia

[garran]

Seen, unexpectedly, on one of those mutable church signs:

THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING.
--SOCRATES

...which made me think that a church revering Socrates would be pretty interesting. There's certainly enough scripture.

Does anyone else, on having brought to mind the particular scent of some absent and lovely person, ever find that their natural next impulse is to want to call up that smell in their mp3 program?

I think it's more because it's really hard to shift between smells, because they fade so much more slowly than sound waves or light.
