I don't know about you, but to be honest, this is a little bit unsettling to me. In today's society with threats of bioterrorism and all, when you hear something like this, you have to wonder. I just wish they'd find out what the freaking smell is.
Mystery Smell of Syrup Returns to N.Y.

NEW YORK (AP) — Was it the sweet smell of success? For the second time in two months, a mysterious maple syrup aroma wafted over Manhattan on Thursday, and city officials still don't know what caused it.
Callers to the city's 311 help line and the Fire Department reported the pleasant scent around 3:30 p.m. in neighborhoods from midtown to the Upper East and West sides.
"The calls aren't exactly complaints," city Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Ian Michaels said Friday. That's no surprise in a city where a host of less appetizing smells are often on the menu.
Michaels said the odor appeared to be the same one people detected in late October, mostly in lower Manhattan.
The agency sent out its hazardous materials team to take instant readings of the air from neighborhoods where the calls originated, but nothing dangerous was found. Air samples brought in for additional testing were also negative.
"It is once again a mystery. It seems to be gone," Michaels said.

"I believe that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can not baptize cats." - Larry the Cable Guy
A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were both fighting in a war and were captured by the enemy.
"Before we put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"
"Yes," said the Alabaman. "Could you play 'Yeah, Alabama' before you shoot me?"
"Sure," said the enemy. "How about you, Tennessean?"
"Could you shoot me before you play 'Yeah, Alabama?'"
