So I'm a little bored tonight. I turned on the television. The Matrix Reloaded is on, and while that's good for the highway scene, that's about all it's good for. There's stand-up on comedy central, but the guy is only marginally funny and I'm not really digging his voice. I even went so far to watch some of the Friends episode that's on channel 13. The gang is on what I interpret to be a cruise, but it could be some kind of tropical vacation. Monica's hair is stupid looking, and she punched a guy (off screen). I have to say, though, that the funniest thing that's been on the television while I've been watching tonight was a commercial. I turned the channel and there it was, a tube of some kind of lotion against a white backdrop, with an announcer saying "...with elastin to smoothe wrinkles before they form."
Elastin? I put this question to you. Did a scientist isolate "elastin" in a lab somewhere, or did a marketing guy make it up because he needed something for the voiceover guy to say when the bar graph graphic was displayed? I propose that it was the latter.
