Some years ago, Alan Alda used to make a TV program for PBS (I think), it was sort of scientific in nature, and one week they did a program on chemistry. It would seem that chemistry is basically how you and someone else smells. Yes really. They did an experiment with dirty laundry, and all of the people involved could pick out their partners dirty undershirts, but the wrong undershirt was repulsive to them.

If you have ever danced with someone who is not "yours" you will know exactly what this means.

Anyway, it all came down to the basic animal instinct - fortunately we don't have to go around smelling people's rear ends to know if we were meant to be together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
