Stuff that’s good to know

From Slashdot:

After three years of research, including examining 503 pieces of fluff from his own belly button, Georg Steinhauser has discovered a type of body hair that traps stray pieces of lint and draws them into the navel. Dr Steinhauser’s observations showed that “small pieces of fluff first form in the hair and then end up in the navel at the end of the day.” Chemical analysis revealed the pieces of fluff were not just made up of cotton from clothing. Wrapped up in the lint were also flecks of dead skin, fat, sweat and dust. Unfortunately, further study has failed to yield a hair or fiber that would give Dr. Steinhauser the last three years of his life back.

Always a bridesmaid, never the busty bride

Here’s a question for you gals out there – ever been asked to be a bridesmaid in your friend’s wedding and been a little daunted by the costs involved? Buying a dress that you will probably never wear again, travel costs to the nuptial site, accomodations, breast augmentation?

Wait…uh…what?

It’s the latest thing: “Becky Lee, 39, a Manhattan photographer, declined when a friend asked her — and five other attendants — to have their breasts enhanced. “We’re all Asian and didn’t have a whole lot of cleavage, and she found a doctor in L.A. who was willing to do four for the price of two,” said Ms. Lee, who wore a push-up bra instead.”

You gotta read this article!

Ewwww…

Since we’re being all honest and vulnerable here, how about this interesting exercise: tell us something about yourself that you aren’t neccesarily embarrassed about, but that someone else might think is weird.

I’ll go first.

When I was a kid, I drank dill pickle juice – right out of the jar. And when the occasion presents itself, I still do.

Now your turn.
