If you’re seen “The Lives of Others”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lives_of_Others or “Good Bye Lenin”:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301357/… or if you’ve ever read a history book, you’ll know that the “Stasi”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi (the East German secret police) were into some dirty business. But what is relatively unknown, is that they were also into “olfaction.”:http://www.kirchersociety.org/blog/2007/04/05/smell-jars-of-the-stasi/
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, many astounding revelations came to light about the Stasi, the East German secret police. One of the more bizarre activities the Stasi was found to have engaged in was the collection of Geruchsproben—smell samples—for the benefit of the East German smell hounds. The odors, collected during interrogations using a perforated metal “smell sample chair” or by breaking into people’s homes and stealing their dirty underwear, were stored in small glass jars. Many of the remaining East German smell jars are on display at the Stasi Museum in Berlin.
And you thought Homeland Security was scary.

I was wondering where my soiled Victoria Secret’s panties from last week went…now I know.
I saw “Lives of Others” and how they sampled the chair cushion, but what if it was done on someone’s chair that is lactose intolerant after indulging in an ice cream sundae? Would this be a deal maker or breaker? Hmm…
