I have seen the blood squirt out of a person like that.

Dammit Dr. quit making a mess!

Actually its usually quite a thin stream and you don't see it until it hits you, or you see it after it lands on the floor.








Now you know why pigs squeal the way they do.

Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Something I always wanted to know)

Actually knew that one and I think it's cool..I just dig butterflies.

I didn't know that. I like butterflies too. I especially like seeing Monarch butterflies in my garden.


Winx, I like your posts...that I've seen.:wink: At the University of Florida we have a Butterfly Rainforest...I go there often simply to walk through this huge enclosure with tens of thousands of butterflies...they come and rest on you as you walk or sit. Beautiful...like a Zen garden in a way. Here's the link...and if you're ever in Gainesville you should see it. Also, the largest collection in the world of preserved butterflies...more than 3 million! Like your profile! happy

Women and men do not differ in their rates of spontaneous blinking. Generally, between each blink in intervals of 2-10 seconds; actual rates vary by individual averaging around 10 blinks per minute in a laboratory setting. However, when the eyes are focused on an object for an extended period of time, such as when reading, the rate of blinking decreases to about 3-4 times per minute. This is the major reason that eyes dry out and become fatigued when reading.

Eye blinking can be a criterion for diagnosing medical conditions. For example, excessive blinking may help to indicate the onset of Tourette syndrome, strokes or disorders of the nervous system. A reduced rate of blinking is associated with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's patients have a distinct serpentine stare that is very recognizable.

I always thought that was the evil eye.laugh laugh laugh

Yawns are a way of communication. They don't signal that you are tired, but rather you want to do something different now.
