`NOSE OF NASA' TO JUDGE STINKY SNEAKER CONTEST

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Wireless Flash) -- A expert who works for NASA has been enlisted as the judge of a stinky sneaker contest. NASA's "Master Sniffer," George Aldrich, spends his days smelling all sorts of space stuff to decide whether odors generated by the material would be offensive to astronauts. But later this month Aldrich will judge the annual Odor Eaters International Rotten Sneaker Contest. "The Nose of NASA" says smelly sneakers can stink so bad that they'll "knock your head back" and he doubts he'll be able to stomach it if there's too many reeking shoes. The winner of the contest will receive a year's supply of Odor Eaters and their stinking shoes will be enshrined in the Odor Eaters Hall of Fumes.
