in charlie and the chocolate factory (2005) (the best version imo b/c i saw it as a kid and the magic only works around then) a lady said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac and i’ve completely internalized that as true.

i hope it is, it sort of makes sense. people buy chocolates on valentines day

    I used to believe that those defibrillators used by doctors were to restart a heart

      That myth is still pushed by many TV shows to this day, unfortunately. I believe that most public emergency defibrillators work automatically, so that is nice.

      Yup, defibrillators are for arythmia, and work by stopping the heart for a moment to let the heart restart itself and get back into rhythm.

      BF players: yeah, they are good for gunshots, knife stabs, if blown up by mines, run over by a jeep or pulverized by a sabot round. And agains lethal falls.

      “Griff, why in the hell would you give someone CPR for a bullet wound in the head!? That doesn’t make a lick of sense.”
