1. Be thankful for your foul body odor. According to anthropologist Louis Leakey, it might be responsible for early man's survival. Leakey's theory claims that most predators avoided feasting on humans because our body odor was "too repugnant."
2. Not only did the ancient Egyptians give us pyramids and flush toilets, they also pioneered the field of deodorants. Egyptians were the first to popularize the idea of applying scents to armpits, usually using cinnamon and other spices that wouldn't turn rancid in the heat.
3. The Roman poet Ovid preferred a more proactive solution. In Book III of the Art of Love, he cautions women against carrying goats under their arms.

You know, the theory of evolution, "survival of the fittest" and all. Well, I've wondered how that worked in humans because we have so many DUmmies amongst us. I thought it might have been in the past like it is today, the smart conservative types looking out for and protecting the unproductive DUmmie types.
Well, now I have the answer. It's a scientific fact, Leaky says so, some of us just stink more than others.
