• I\'m curious to know exactly why some people have such stinky breath, though I don\'t want to conduct any research.
  
  My best guess is that food particles are trapped by the cilia (hairs lining the throat) and thus decompose in one\'s throat, emitting a stench.  I wonder if really hairy people have more stinky cilia than less hairy folks.
  
  I know there are some biology people in Breakfast land that can provide an answer.

• i actually have some interesting info for you zurflu. doctors can diagnose people with something called "Throat Cheese." its technical, really. some people have small holes in the lining of their esophagus which store food. this food then rots, while collecting other bacteria from whatever (esp. bad if youre a smoker) and causes a straight up stank breath.
  
  learned about this recently when this girl told me about someone she works with that said, "so my boyfriend said i have bad breath.... no, like really bad breath, like i should see a doctor.... so i saw a doctor who sent me to a mouth and throat specialist, and he diagnosed me with \'throat cheese.\'"
  
  pretty sick, huh?
