Sean is an Irish name. Irish used to be spelled with many umlauts, accents, and other annotations that didn’t exist on English typewriters. So the Irish intellectuals got together and overhauled their language so that all their vowel sounds could be written with combinations of 5 vowels, leading to a lot of strange rules like “ea” being pronounced like “ah”. And there are many many more confusing words in Irish.

The only people who you will ever know eat organic gluten-free food are the ones who tell you about it. Therefore it seems like everyone who eats organic gluten-free food tells everyone about it.

I like her because she championed individuality and freedom. I dislike her because she lacked empathy. If I could sum up her philosphy in one sentence it would be, “do whatever benefits yourself, and don’t care about how it effects others, because if everyone lives like that, it will benefit everyone in the long run.” I have mixed feelings about her because sometimes that philosophy works, and sometimes it doesn’t.

Those are developed areas. The more access a family has to food and medicine, the less children they have because it’s more likely they will all survive to adulthood, plus families no longer need children as insurance for old age. The more developed third world countries become, the more the birth rate will decline.

“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.” -Audrey Hepburn

One of the guys who helped assassinate Archduke Ferdinand took expired cyanide and lived, so less poisonous I guess.

Possibly what you are looking for is “Proustian moment.” Proust wrote a story about drinking herbal tea and eating madeleines, which triggered a memory from far back in his childhood. Smelling something, seeing something, or tasting some that brings back a forgotten memory is a Proustian moment. Or perhaps this is a different sensation.
