The Sightings TV program tonight had a piece on training dogs to detect
cancer. It was said that dogs can hear, smell and see (?) far better than
humans, which is, of course, not exactly earthrattling news.

I got to wondering about turning the argument around. Why can't humans hear
and smell as well as dogs. Does anyone know?

I can see where a dog's nose appears to have more surface contact with air.
OK, that helps explain their odor-snifting prowess.

Some dogs even have their ears completely covered like a cocker spaniel. But
I haven't heard of any dogs barking their complaints about built-in ear
muffs. I see no particularly reason why humans can't hear as well as dogs.
How does the hearing abilities of apes and chimps compare with humans?

By the way, the program also had a progress report on Pierre Sinclair's
project to build David Hamel's anti-gravity craft. I had heard the original
Hamel report at the 1996 New Energy conference in Denver where also I
briefly met Jerry. They showed Pierre's CAD drawing of a cross-section of
the flying saucer. They also showed a model flying saucer that seems to be
less than 10 feet in diameter partly built.
