Dr. Pamela Dalton was contracted by the government to create a non-lethal stink bomb for them.

From an article over on Mental Floss,

Dalton surveyed the vilest odors from around the globe (fish oil factories, old toilet brushes, etc., ad nauseum—literally) and identified the key elements. Specifically, she focused on two kings of the stench world—rotting corpses and human waste—and recreated them in her lab.

I wonder if they added any durian into the mix?

It was the size of a grapefruit. Now its the size of an orange. Unfortunately, no great story to go with this. I didn’t rescue a kitten from a tree. I didn’t kick anyone’s ass. I straight up tripped. Sheesh.

… don’t wait for the good woman. She doesn’t exist. There are women who can make you feel more with their bodies and their souls but these are the exact women who will turn the knife into you right in front of the crowd. Of course, I expect this, but the knife still cuts. The female loves to play man against man, and if she is in a position to do it there is not one who will not resist. The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal. and torture and damnation. Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.
