Crying is good for you

I’m usually more for the funny facts, but sometimes I need to be a bit serious too. After working a lot on some other work (a logo and some cool stuff for my food scientist friend, I might post that later) I finally had time…

Deadly water

But relax, I’m not trying to be a fearmonger, this is not a normal thing. People can and have died from this, but they have had insane amounts of water in a short period of time. It will not be a pleasant experience, so you…
