Olfactorithmetic 

The ability to glance at a document and announce "This number smells wrong". It is not necessarily correlated with the ability to show workings as to why it's wrong. Those who have cultivated olfactorithmetic abilities may need to ask a colleague to calculate, but often the numbers their noses identify turn out to stink."
THE BBC, Mike Moore observes, isn’t universally blessed with the ability to detect numbers that smell wrong, or olfactorithmetic.

physics porn 

Particle physics fantasies based on maths/philosophy with only the most tenuous possible link to reality- multiverses, boltzmann brains and so on
Does any of this bear any relation to reality? Or is Big Physics guilty of some serious sexing-up, drifting away from the realm of hard data and into the softer universe of physics porn?
