Don't worry about how impotent you are, even if you're not really impotent you will always be impotent to some one.

DID YOU KNOW......?

Navels win the race

Scientists have found the reason why some athletes dominate on the running track and others in the swimming pool:

It's in their belly buttons.

According to a new study what's important is not whether an athlete has an innie or an outie but where his or her navel is in relation to the rest of the body.

The navel is the centre of gravity of the body, and given two runners or swimmers of the same height, one black and one white, "What matters is not total height but the position of the belly button, or centre of gravity,"

Duke University professor Andre Bejan, the lead author of the study, said. "It so happens that in the architecture of the human body of West African-origin runners, the centre of gravity is significantly higher than in runners of European origin," which puts them at an advantage in sprints on the track.

Yeah, go check it out, you may be unbalaced,,,,,,,,hahaha

Are you sure you want it...she's been the face of TLL for years. Believe me.

Rather than asking you guys... I checked Wickapedia about ear wax.. Just what you always wanted to know.

Earwax, also known by the medical term cerumen, is a yellowish waxy substance secreted in the ear canal of humans and many other mammals. It protects the skin of the human ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some protection from bacteria, fungi, insects and water.[1] Excess or impacted cerumen can press against the eardrum and/or occlude the external auditory canal and impair hearing.

Cerumen is produced in the outer third of the cartilaginous portion of the human ear canal. It is a mixture of viscous secretions from sebaceous glands and less-viscous ones from modified apocrine sweat glands.[2] The primary components of earwax are shed layers of skin, with 60% of the earwax consisting of keratin, 12–20% saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acids, alcohols, squalene and 6–9% cholesterol.[3]

Fear, stress and anxiety result in increased production of earwax from the ceruminous glands.[4][5]

There are two distinct genetically determined types of earwax: the wet type, which is dominant, and the dry type, which is recessive. East Asians and Native Americans are more likely to have the dry type of cerumen (grey and flaky), whereas Caucasians and Africans are more likely to have the wet type (honey-brown to dark-brown and moist).[6] Cerumen type has been used by anthropologists to track human migratory patterns, such as those of the Inuit.[7] The consistency of wet type earwax is due to the higher concentration of lipid and pigment granules (50% lipid) in the substance than the dry type (30% lipid).[3]

The difference in cerumen type has been tracked to a single base change (a single nucleotide polymorphism) in a gene known as "ATP-binding cassette C11 gene."[8] In addition to affecting cerumen type, this mutation also reduces sweat production. The researchers conjecture that the reduction in sweat was beneficial to the ancestors of East Asians and Native Americans who are thought to have lived in cold climates.[9]

Very interesting. Considering that earwax is 60% keratin, and having lipids and other things all found in the expensive shampoos and hair conditioners......guess what new home remedy invention I will try to devise next? ;)

But since everyone has earwax and could thus make their own, I can't see me being the hair-product magnate of the future. :(

They used to say you could tell if a man was afraid by looking into his eyes.

After that, seems a better way is to turn him on his side and peer into his ear.........................

I asked because a pair of the genus Herpestes ran across the road when I was driving into town today.

I thought they may be squirrels, but decided they were mong.... :unsure:
