One of the great advantages of age is that you slow down. Normally, this is a bad thing, but not when speaking.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I used to speak at 100 words per minute with gusts up to 125. To people down south who are used to rating hurricanes and tornados, this is category 5 speech.
My mouth used to deliver faster than my brain could produce. The flood produced a lot of “ums” and “errs” in my speech. I found that if I first “buffered” the sentence in my brain and then delivered it, I could reduce these verbal pauses and sound less unintelligible and unintelligent.
One side effect of this buffering is that it also gives me time to fact check what I am about to say and maybe even ponder its effect on those who hear it.

Have you ever had an MRI? It exposes the body living within your skin.
Upload the images to a 3D printer and print out your double.
Just add AI and you can write GoComics comments as smart as mine.

Actually light can pass through the human body. Easily demonstrated by putting the light of a flashlight up against the palm of your hand.

Wet is life. Where there is no moisture, there is no life (as we know it).
“Water’s chemical and physical properties allow it to dissolve more substances than most other liquids. This enables key chemical reactions in cells”
