    I think there isn’t a single Superman movie that does the Superman disguise well. It’s not just the glasses it’s the whole demeanor and his whole personality that is wildly different. I’ve yet to see it done right

    ‘The CIA doesn’t use Media as a cover’.  Isn’t that exactly what the CIA would say when they don’t want to admit they use something as a cover?  Also, what did they do during the American Embassy siege in Tehran?  They used Media as a cover.

    “Consciously changing voice… we had no success on that”

Your daily coffee might be doing more than waking you up.

A new study published in Nature Communications found that regular coffee consumption may positively affect the link between digestion, mood, and cognition. Researchers also found no major change in physiological stress markers like cortisol linked to coffee consumption, suggesting coffee may not actually increase the body’s stress response under normal conditions.
