Why do we have 5 fingers on each hand (and 5 toes on each foot) instead of 4 or 6?
What on earth do Tescos do to their doors to make them all alarmed?
Do you think the owners of the Life Centre in Newcastle are genuine when they say "non-paying visitors" are welcome in their cafe?
Fact, our bodies lose heat on the same levels all over our body. Our head is no different than say your arm. Our head/face/neck is just more sensitive to temperature change than other parts of your body, just like your fingers. Another interesting myth buster that I like telling people who complain of this, giving sugar to your children does not make them "over-hyperactive" and cause them to have "problems".
What I've always wondered, why are hornets lives so... crap? Their main role is to kill bees and steal their honey, just to feed their own species before their colony dies, that just steal and kill. It's so empty.
MAybe the guy who saw a bear crack one open and eat a - to him - delicious cream.
What I wonder tho is. Potato plants are very poisonous, only the root tuber (the actual potato) is edible. Who the hell thought, "Well, this plant is poisonous, others died trying to eat it, but what the hell I will just eat the root tuber and see what happens."
Rags
:yuck:
:yes:
Hence 'rag week', 'on the rag'. But if it makes you feel better, in the old days people generally started periods a little later and had babies earlier, so you'd probably not have many periods before you had your first child, and cause contraceptive options were relatively thin on the ground you'd just keep having baby after baby, so not many periods through your adult life either, and there's a good chance you'd die in any of your childbirths, and if you didn't by the time you'd had 14 or 15 babies you'd probably just give in and die anyway.
Good times :thumb:
I'm glad I don't live in the old days
So, why doesn't any shop sell breast milk? Not that I want to try it, just curious.
I do know someone who was born with 6 fingers on one hand.
Because it's almost impossible to manufacture it in in industrial quantities. Just ask any woman who's tried to express breast milk.
You used to have "wet nurses" employed by rich mothers to breastfeed their babies, though.
It's all on a donor basis, though, same as blood or organs. There would be ethical concerns with selling it.
Who would actually buy breast milk though? It's no good in coffee, it's too watery and too sweet.
well to feed your baby I would assume. Benefits for development and health 'n all that.
There's a voice of experience :eek:
lol :thumb:
Ha, I heard that on the radio today while I was at my mum's. All the Radio 4 bods were freaking out. I chuckled.
Would probs make quite nice ice cream, tbh. It's lighter and sweeter than moo milk. Although for reasons already stated I'd want to put the lactating women on a limited diet!
accidentally thrown in the bin instead of yoghurt pots?
used to do that a lot as a kid... and you don't really want to be seen fishing around in bins at school !
