How do we determine what is a good smell from stinky stuff?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd . . . what if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Or have you ever wondered why dogs hear things we can't or why some cats seem to see ghosts?
