One of our rooms has come down with a case of rotten fish smell. These are the facts as we know them so far:
1. This smell has happened once before, a little less than a month ago.
2. It smells like rotten fish.
3. The smell comes in waves; it is not persistent.
4. It has no known source: We've sniffed around the room: Refrigerators, microwaves, food stuffs, trash cans, electrical equipment, the heater, furnature, etc.
5. Other standard means of finding the source also fail, such as sniffing towards the more powerful odor.
6. It is not coming from the window.
6. It is not coming from either Lester or myself.
7. I repeated the number 6 twice.
That's about it. I would appreciate any theories and solutions to the problem.
...short of cleaning the room.

PLEASE BE ADVISED!!!
Apparently, word is spreading around the internet of the existence of a so-called "phantom fish". Details are sketchy. Here are some excerpts and sources, feel free to check the references:
"Kue have almost been fished out of existence and are called "phantom fish." Farming of this fish was considered hard because fertilized eggs were difficult to obtain since the kue undergoes a sex change from female to male."

"They're EVERY color, bro. A friggin' rainbow gang. The Fish are some bad mothers and they're gonna take you down."
"Within a week, the gangs of the 14th District were on full Fish alert. Nobody was going to take them down, especially not some newcomers with a wimpy name like Fish."

As a primary measure I would recommend investing in one of these.
As a secondary measure I would recommend repeating number 7.
Of course! It's so simple and yet so brilliant!
I'll also be on alert for the phantom fish.
