This one originally went up not too long ago, so here's the infographic version.

Infographic of the world's largest snot bubble
This post was an early one that still seems to get a goof few hits regularly, so here it is, getting the infographic treatment, because I like that kind of thing.

Dead cat infographic - back to the beginning!
Having been happy with last week's infographic about the Hitman's dog, I've made a few more, and here's one, developed from the first ever TYDKYDNTK (my, that is a cumbersome acronym) entry, back in 2008. I've been doing this 5 years! Blimey.

The inventions of Dimitri Dutruv pt.10
After having developed technology for converting sound to smell, Dutruv embarked on a more ambitious offshoot of the project.
Having converted sounds to smell, Dutruv was convinced that language, meaning and, eventually, words, could be converted into specific smells. To this end, while working on several other projects over a 3 year period, he developed a "smell dictionary", a collection of 35,000 words (with 35,000 meanings), encoded as a series of scents, recorded on specially-treated pages.

| This photograph shows an early test version of the smell dictionary (with only 1,500 words), which Dutruv used to test different treatments for stopping different 'smell words' blending into each other. Some pages are still annotated (in conventional pen) with comments such as, "Some spreading between 'goose' and 'gondola'. Distinct impression of a bird-shaped boat, similar to those found in some amusement parks formed. Interesting, but a failure to clearly communicate meaning." Photograph by J Dueck. |

Bepe, infographic-style
This week is kind of an experiment, a way of presenting TYDKYDNTK articles is a more visual, share-friendly format. Feedback is, as always, appreciated. I'm sure you all remember Bepé, from a few weeks ago.
Edit:
Here's an edited version I made based on feedback from the Facebook page, which I've placed above the original:

The final edition of Crank Up That Cheese
Jersey McClair was a presenter on the local Minnesota quiz show Crank Up that Cheese between 1984 and 1999. His final show became notorious after some unexplained comments he made during the live finale of the 1999 season.
McClair announced that the show would return after a commercial break, and then greeted the live audience with a "shocking announcement":
"I was supposed to explain to you that our two contestant, Darryl and Rebeca, are expecting a baby, but I feel that the time has well and truly come, where I have to explain that I am, despite appearances, a lizard man from the year 5000."The signal was then cut, and McClair announed his resignation from the KBBOP channel the next day.
| Darryl Marks and Rebeca Lampley, the contestants on the show, look on confusedly during McClair's statement. After transmission was cut, the couple signed a gagging agreement with the channel, so have not given any statement on what was going on behind the scenes. It is believed they were compensated with cruise tickets.. Photograph by jone.nyborg. |
