In 1999, DigiScents developed a computer peripheral device called iSmell, which was designed to emit a smell when a user visited a web site or opened an email. The device contained a cartridge with 128 "primary odors", which could be mixed to replicate natural and man-made odors. DigiScents had indexed thousands of common odors, which could be coded, digitized, and embedded into web pages or email.[4] After $20 million in investment, DigiScents was shut down in 2001 when it was unable to obtain the additional funding it required.[5]

The riff is similar to the opening riff from "Deuce" by Kiss.

Keith Richards wrote "Satisfaction" in his sleep and recorded a rough version of the riff on a Philips cassette player. He had no idea he had written it.[4] He said when he listened to the recording in the morning, there was about two minutes of acoustic guitar before you could hear him drop the pick and "then me snoring for the next forty minutes".[5]

The name is doubly a misnomer not only because both males and females are served as Cornish game hens, meaning that many are not actually hens, nor does the bird have any affiliation to Cornwall.

Company postings throughout 2016 on social media continue to show only a rough model "EP-4" prototype driven at low speed, now for multiple years. Mentions of a need for at least two more prototypes indicate that the road to production is still far off. With limited pictures and videos of an unfinished single-seat vehicle driven at low speeds, and with either audio removed from videos or very loud gyroscope noise, critics are wary to expect that a production model can be built in the next few years, even if funding was secured.

Despite consistent remarks of this project being vaporware, and with no production updates in multiple years, Lit Motors staff continued to insist that production was upcoming. Deposit refunds initially incurred a 15% fee, but Lit is now offering refunds without penalty. By 2017, newsletter content no longer featured physical testing, was starkly silent on production, and doesn't show any indication that Lit expects to have the ability to make a deliverable product. In 2018, Lit ceased email newsletters, social media updates, and let the website remain dormant with spam content for months on end. By the end of the year, a reconfigured website was published, though it still included information from several years ago, and no new progress updates.

As of Spring 2020, Lit Motors has yet to update potential buyers on the status of their project.

As of October 2020, Lit Motors did not send any update on production, maybe this project is gone.

I remember reading about this in 1999. I thought there were a lot more than 128 when Popular Mechanics had an article about it, but that was around the same time that they actually published this cover and the corresponding article, so technical accuracy clearly wasn't their top priority

popular mechanics was always kinda chuddy. never liked it. as a kid i had a subscription to popular science instead.

popular mechanics back page ads were all like "cheap bomb shelter kits" while popular science ones were all "attract women with these pheromones" :madmax:

According to the homestead principle, Nemitz argued that he had the right to claim ownership of any celestial body that he made use of; he claimed he had designated Eros a spacecraft parking facility and wished to charge NASA a parking and storage fee of twenty cents per year for its NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft that is permanently stored there.

In the original version, the ending song has lyrics about how no real miracles exist in the world; people's months and years pass in a gray monotone, and the best that people can do is to pretend that their dreams are real. The English version replaced this song with another song about how awesome flying is (which is the reprise of "Easy to Fly").

Wide-ranging speculation exists about how the pit was formed and what it might contain. According to Joe Nickell, there is no treasure; the pit is a natural phenomenon, probably a sinkhole connected to limestone passages or caverns.[1] Suggestions that the pit is a natural phenomenon (accumulated debris in a sinkhole or geological fault) date to at least 1911.[56][57][58][59] A number of sinkholes and caves, to which the "booby traps" are attributed, exist on the mainland near the island.
