And I wish you at least 45 more years of married bliss! Live the shit out of that dream and kudos to your wife. She must be amazing!
Same here, except I've managed to remain married for 9 years so far. #livingthedream
Are You Consuming Your Coffee Correctly?
Am I consuming my coffee correctly? Well, I don't consume it, so yes, dear, I do it correctly.
Expensive Wine Is For Suckers
Real men don't care about being girly, they're manly because they just are.

It's a manly beverage.
Expensive Wine Is For Suckers
Taste is at least 50% psychology.
I once made a raspberry sorbet. Yes, it tasted very much like raspberry (because it was mostly raspberry) and if you work long enough with fruits, it's characteristic shade of red gives you a good hint what it is.
I like to let people taste stuff I make without telling them what they're eating. And then I ask them what they thought they ate. I gave several people that sorbet and out of 12 people, two or three gave me the correct answer what it was on the first try. Every red fruit you can imagine was mentioned by the others, one guy even told me it could be watermelon.
Another time I made a Cassis Panna Cotta (Cassis is french for black currant, you illiterate crouton). That stuff is purple like rain and Joker suits. We served it in a room that was lighted in blue and violet, like a Dario Argento movie. The Panna Cotta looked brown under the colored light. Some people thought they were eating something with chocolate in it.
In both examples I was dealing with people who made a living with selling and producing food.
That's how trustworthy your brain is when it comes to taste. Sometimes you can't tell raspberries from watermelons. And that's why the wine business is at least 50% bullshit.

As a grammar nazi you should know that this -> " <- is what germans use to paraphrase.
Great, now we're arguing grammar. What have I become.....
..which is getting all to close to 'now we're just arguing'..., over less than semantics, so you 'win', congratulations.
next topic.
EDIT: BTW, when you paraphrase, you use ', not ". :-)

You're right, it's not the fall, it's the landing. Like death, we shouldn't be afraid of being dead but they dying itself.
I ain't afraid of no fall. I got a bouncy castle at my disposal.
...like falling. It's not the fall that gets you, it's the sudden stop at the end. We shouldn't be afraid of falling, we should only be afraid of LANDING!
7 Myths About The Brain You Thought Were True
I don't mind if a certain amount of suspension of disbelief is required to enjoy a movie but when your writing is shitty or your basic premise is too silly that won't help. Some things just make people cringe, some tropes and clichees just become too stupid. Especially if you take yourself too seriously.
I don't have to watch "The Happening" to know it's a ridiculous movie that'll make me roll my eyes 'till I'm dizzy. Or make me laugh hysterically about it.
It's the same here. A really stupid and completely wrong pseudo-fact about brain is exploited to tell a superhero story. If the very first response you get is "Brains don't work this way. Good night!" you have a problem. And that's coming from someone who's perfectly willing to accept that gamma rays make you a green ragemonster.
Can't people watch fictional movies and accept that they're fiction?
Mind you, I suppose there are people out there who believe in The Force, Alien Abudction, and Ayn Rand's philosophies.
