For example:

  • When Michael Phelps jumps into the pool, he isn’t making a splash; the water is just trying to get out of his way.
  • If you look into the eye of a hurricane you will see Michael Phelps swimming.
  • Michael Phelps doesn’t need to walk on water — he can fly through it.

They don’t teach anything… ever. They are just busy work.

I’m not sure why, but a Google search for “chemicals that smell like cucumbers kinda maybe told me why:

Morrison describes the smell of 2-nonenal as “pungent cucumbers.”

Apparently my chemistry lab notebook has old lady smell.
