When people taste wine and say they detect notes of stone and apples and rain, fresh clay and hints of oak. Not calling them deluded, good for them, but to me it always tastes like sour grapes and I gag.
If it's a strong wine-homemade grape or cherry-I'll drink the s**t outta that!  :drink:

The attraction of people to TV shows like the Kardashions or the Voice.  :question:


Totally agree. Though I've never watched it, this new show, The Masked Singer, does secretly interest me. Maybe I'll catch it on Hulu sometime and fast forward through to the reveals.

I'm a metal fan but I don't "get" the death or black metal genres either.

Death Metal vocals irritate the crap outta me. I like guys who can sing (or at least shout convincingly). Too many bands sound like they got Cookie Monster on the mic. "WOOOOOOARRRRRRGH!"

Black Metal is a whole 'nother planet. A lotta those dudes shouldn't be walking around loose. In that world, your band isn't "true" till you've desecrated a grave, set fire to a church, murdered at least one of your band mates, and eaten his liver.
:bouncegiggle:  You funny. 

That s**t is true-it was in the news!  :buggedout:

Early Norwegian Black Metal is insane. You had the band Mayhem living up to their name, the whole thing was a mess.
The vocalist "Dead" didn't get along with the guitarist "Euronymous". Dead shot himself and left a note stating that he wasn't from this world and to excuse the bloody mess. Euronymous, being the Satanic idiot that he was, didn't go to the police, instead he went and bought a disposable camera, took photos of Dead's suicide, and wanted to use it for their next album cover. Speaking of Euronymous, he was stabbed by a guy named Varg Vikerson. Varg killed him in "self defense". Varg stated that Euronymous wasn't paying him for his help in Mayhem, and confronted him. There's a documentary about Mayhem and early Norwegian Black Metal called Until The Light Takes Us.
yeah no.

It was a documentary about Norwegian Black Metal scene.

Again, neutrinos, which are said to exist and yet have no mass. Mass is the very definition of existence. Even thoughts have measurable energy manifestations, yet neutrinos exist in a state of non-existence discernible only via effect. Insanity.

Photons exist without mass.  Alsoe the mass of a neutrino is still a debated topic.

Elaborate forms of torture.  It's the easiest thing in the world to cause a man more pain than he can bear.
