a hit of asbestos, and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde

the thing I want to know is, has ryan ross ever smelled formaldehyde? also, does he know that asbestos is odorless? and when would he have smelled formaldehyde? he doesn't seem like the sort to take advanced bio where you do dissections and things.

If he doesn't know, thank God he has a girlfriend he can ask the tough questions. Like, "Botox or collagen?"

...sorry, I'm mean.

Actually, it's odd, this is the second place today I've encountered the whole formaldehyde-odor debate.

Well, the song doesn't explicitly say that there's a smell of formaldehye and aspestos, so it could just, like, be there in the comnposition of the walls. And I am definately no advanced bio student, but I smelled formaldehyde in high school (preserved pig heart, yuck). At my high school, at least, you had to dissect a frog in regular bio (I went to the library and colored in a frog-dissection packet, instead).
