Transcribed from tape labeled “Smeltett”:
DR. FINE: The very existence of the Smeltett has been a point of contention for millennia, with records of arguments spurred on by the sudden onset of a foul and malicious odor found in the form of rudimentary cave paintings in both Africa and central Asia.
Current research of the Smeltett leads many to believe that it is the female of the species which is responsible for the foul odor, used in an effort to attract the attention of nearby males, which are believed to be responsible for the… sound… also associated with the Smeltett.
Unsurprisingly, all major contributions to research on the Smeltett have been submitted anonymously.
