The high school near my house recently started smelling like sperm.  Two possible reasons spring to mind:



There are these trees surrounding the parking lot -- big carob trees, Ceratonia siliqua -- and in the Fall their fruit drops and starts to rot.  One popular description of the resulting smell is "human ejaculant."





The students are back on campus.



I'm not sure which theory disturbs me more.
