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."

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:
