How Average High School Boys Smell
It was our unofficial science project in sixth grade. Everyday, our bus route would drop off the highschoolers first and then we middleschoolers, and pick us up before the highschoolers again in the afternoon. This gave us the perfect opportunity to stick our 11-year-old noses into the isle and smell all the teenage guys passing by as they walked past us twice daily. If I'm to be quite honest, I don't find it surprising in the least that we would pick such a project. Just notice how interesting our data turned out, and I doubt you'd disagree.

It was amazing. I have all the numbers for "cologne" and "nothing" and "other" still, too- it could be properly statistical. XD
