But it is rarely discussed. Due to its perceived implication and real world model support for theories of evolution it received alot of backlash when it was first disclosed, and astronauts have indicated that they are directed by media not to discuss it in interviews unless it is already brought up, which it never is.

Recycling one glass jar saves enough energy to watch T.V. for 3 hours!

When you die your hair still grows for a couple of months.

You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching TV

Charlie Brown's father was a barber.

The elephant is the only animal with 4 knees.

There is no word that rhymes with “month.”

Baby rabbits are called… kittens.

When you die your hair still grows for a couple of months.

A similar process occurs for hair. Each hair sits within a follicle that drives its growth. At the base of the follicle is the hair matrix, a group of cells that divide to produce the new cells that make hair strands longer. These cells divide very rapidly, but only when supplied with energy. This comes from the burning of glucose, which requires the presence of oxygen. Once the heart stops pumping oxygen round the body in the blood, the energy supply dries up, and so does the cell division that drives hair growth.

So why do myths persist about stubble growing on dead men’s chins and fingernails lengthening? While such observations are false, they do have a biological basis. It is not that the fingernails are growing, but that the skin around them retracts as it becomes dehydrated, making them appear longer. When preparing a body, funeral directors will sometimes moisturise the fingertips to counteract this.

Do your hair and fingernails grow after death?

In a history mood this evening.

Queen Boadicea husband was leading a revolt against the Roman Empire at the time but was killed and the soliders at the time raped their two daughters who were around 12 years old at the time in front of the queen.

Like a real Queen after recovering she led a army of 200 thousand and killed 80 thousand Romans for revenge.

The Romans toughest battles were against Queen Candace in Ethiopia and Sudan. They barely won but when they did they skated because the soldiers never fought a war like that before.

:ohhh:

Know any links for the war with the Candace?
