Bleach smells like bacon...

How do I know this, you ask? Well, today I had to run out to Menards to get a new filter for my humidifier. When I removed the old one to install the new one, I noticed a coating of yellowish goo in the bottom of the humidifier. Apparently there is some kind of bacteria that likes humidifiers, and that is what the yellow stuff was. Since I already had a sink full of hot soapy water from doing the dishes, I went ahead and washed the base. But the yellow stuff didn't come out quite as well as I'd hoped. So I ran some more hot water into the base, poured in a splash of bleach and let it sit for a few minutes. A quick rinse and reassembly later, the humidifiers was doing its thing. Then I noticed an odd scent in the air, a scent that reminded me of bacon. Sure enough, it was coming from the humidifier. Why that should be is a mystery, but that's how it is. Weird.
