Petrichor, that fresh aroma you can smell after the rain, is caused by a little molecule called geosmin. The name literally means "earth smell." It's produced by soil bacteria and gives an earthy flavour to beets.
Humans are extremely sensitive to this scent – much, much more sensitive than sharks are to blood. Some think we evolved that way to find fresh drinking water after droughts.
Here's my pitch for Lara Croft - give her a rival tomb raider named Tom Braider.
Every time she's dangling precariously from a ledge or hiding from velociraptors, he comes barging in like the Kool-Aid Man, yelling "I'm Tom Braider the Tomb Raider! Consider this tomb raided!"
Whoever owns Tomb Raider, send me a message & we can negotiate a price for this genius idea. Obviously the bidding starts at 5 figures.
I was too lazy to grab a glass this morning, so I tried to wash down a Tylenol by scooping water from the tap into my mouth

In the end I had to get a glass of water to wash the taste of Tylenol out of my mouth
He says Aquaman has no nipples.
So I looked up a bunch of Aquaman pictures online, & it turns out that my kid is wrong - Aquaman has nipples, they've just been shoved down to the bottom of his pecs because Jason Momoa is all pumped up all the time.
But I did notice that in some pictures, his nipple are covered by his tattoos, & in some, they're not. So that's a continuity error of its own, unless Atlantean tattoos are mobile.
