Right. Because we all know every struggling artist is the next Picasso, Scorsese, Barishnikov, or Mozart.

It's people like you that enable him to make more shitty movies. Those budgets could be spent on some struggling script writer's excellent original idea. He needs to lose money on every movie he makes for this absolute garbage to stop.

at some point you will find your time becomes more precious, that's when you'll hate that kind of drivel, or at least will avoid them like the plague.

Adding fifteen years to the wrong end of your life doesn't count for much either.

Doctor to patient after examination: "If you quit drinking, smoking, illegal drugs, cut the carbs and be careful with sex, you could live to be a hundred years old!"

Oh man; I stopped eating mean almost twenty years ago (I will eat fish.) I still miss bacon. I stopped smoking a month ago. No bacon, no cigs - life isn't as fun.

Does immortality intrigue you but are put off at the thought of drinking all sorts of icky concoctions? Well, friend, I'm here to tell you that guaranteed immortality without chemicals has been available at affordable prices on the internet since 1996.

My idea went a little more like...

"Now a warning?!?"

All the diet and exercise in the world won't stop you getting hit by a bus.

Some believe that the monks who entered this "state" would be called upon in billions of years, when humanity would need them — and their bodies intact.

What's the quote? All the things you have to give up to live longer makes life not worth living.

Sure, you can give up bacon and spare ribs and beer and sliders. But give up enough good food and you're dead inside. Is that really living?

Hallowed be her Death Ray.

My dream? $10 courthouse wedding, with a 3 hour cocktail party starting at 8pm (so kids will already be in bed). Lots of wine and small bites, mingling, maybe dancing. Done.

I did both and neither worked out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These studies are not accurate—first of all they are a self-selected group of highly-involved brides (Knot members), second they should really report out the median cost, not the average. The typical US wedding spend is actually closer to $15K.

It doesn't "cost" anything. The price is up to the couple and their expectations for the wedding.

Bullshit. It only costs that much if YOU let it get out of control! No one puts a gun to your head and makes you get a huge venue or invite a lot of people.
