    I mean that’s… Science.

    I certainly never paid attention to it. And I’m not sure it makes a lot of sense. But it’s knowledge I have now.

    Was this not known? I’ve known that my fingers wrinkle the same in water every time since I was 5.

      Unfortunately, just because most people know something, doesn’t mean shit unless some guys in lab coats get grant money to test it a bunch of times.

        They don’t necessarily need to be paid, they just need to corroborate the evidence and be established in their fields.

        Will that happen?

        … no, but it could.

    I never thought about it. That’s interesting research. Can’t imagine what use it is to know that, but we are often surprised by that sort of thing.
