"As sparkling wine production increased in the early 18th century, cellar workers had to wear a heavy iron mask to prevent injury from spontaneously bursting bottles. The disturbance caused by one bottle exploding could cause a chain reaction, with it being routine for cellars to lose 20–90% of their bottles this way. The mysterious circumstance surrounding the then unknown process of fermentation and carbonic gas caused some critics to call the sparkling creations 'The Devil's Wine'."

The thing that kinda sucks about shaving my legs is that it's such a pain to continue it above my knees. Back of the knee and the start of the top of my thighs, those areas are alright, but the rest of the hair just doesn't seem to shave easily. Longer, thinner, and just not stiff enough to shave properly.

The nice thing about road biking is that I've got an easier explanation for shaving my legs than outing myself as an enby. Plus the proven reduction in aerodynamic drag, for what that's worth.
