This week is a little more chill, with some discussion on the broad topic of fear. This was sparked from some conversations we have had this last week as we prepare to travel to Rome. We have some more product reviews as well, and some TIL/Shower Thoughts were shared.

TIL:

TIL that in 1999, multinational cigarette company Philip Morris attempted to convince the Czech Republic that smoking was highly beneficial to the country\'s economy, as more people would die earlier, hence allowing the government to save millions on health-care, pension and public-housing.

TIL that Johnny Cash\\u2019s guitar player died in 1968. Cash found himself at a show where the temporary replacement, Carl Perkins, couldn\\u2019t make it. An audience member asked Cash if he could fill in for the night, and he said yes. Bob Wootton then became Cash\\u2019s guitar player for the next 29 years

TIL that Jimmy Carter is the longest-lived president, the longest-retired president, the first president to live forty years after their inauguration, and the first to reach the age of 95.

Shower Thoughts:

Every mammal that lives in the water has a layer of fat. This is to prevent theleaching of body heat into the water, because water really sucks down body heat. Therefore, if mermaids did exist, they\'d be fat.

Children with imaginary friends are creative, adults with imaginary friends are schizophrenic.

It is impossible to touch any reflection that isn\'t your own.

We advise young people to not accept food from strangers, but we advise them to giveaway food instead of money to strangers.

Peeing is a live stream.

All of those high school drama "be true to yourself movies" are always about a nerd trying to be popular and realising it\'s not for them. There was never a movie about a popular kid trying to become a nerd and realising they need to be true to themselves

February 13th is most likely the day when the most hair goes down people\'s drains.

Maybe superheroes wear capes to hide the zipper on the back of their onesie.

Lightsabers actually make really good peacekeeping weapons since it allows jedi to disarm opponents through amputation without having to worry about the victim dying of blood loss since the wounds are immediately cauterize.

pizza places deserve some credit for never making plastic packages

We invented plastic that basically lasts forever and decided to use it for single use disposable things.
