To start the ball rolling, What I want to know is:
One for the guys (but may apply to some women I guess. Not naming any names, I hasten to add!! :mfromg: )

Why is it that as you get older, your facial hair grows more vigorously at the time when your head hair gets thinner? :dev:

Is it just another example of everything heading South with advancing years? :D



Another for the guys:
What I want to know is:

Why is it that at the time your gut develops an overhang, your dick shrinks, making it even harder to find?

Put in a full length mirror, didn't you GB. I've noticed those, and a lot more things, after installing full mirrored doors on a closet. Fortunately it's in the hall,,, could you imagine my dismay, had I installed one near or in the bath,, where I might behold what's left of my, once, chiselled physique (it's my buisness how I choose to remember it) without the benefit of clothing?

Perhaps there are things better left unknown.

Capt' Greybus sir,

Depending on what kind of beer you drink, the human body is filled with what are called essential fluids necessary for proper development and maturation. (not masturbation, old bean, those are other fluids)

These fluids, called "life sustaining juices" by those in the industry are what proliferates hair growth, both facial and cranial.
As men maturate gravity rears it's ugly head and yanks said fluids inexorably downward. I'm sure you can imagine what happens next.
From first hand experience you have SEEN what happens next. And judging from photos of you, IT AIN'T PRETTY!

This also happens to women, only to a lesser degree. My mother eventually became a bearded lady carnival freak to help me get through pyrotechnic school. Upon graduation I started making fireworks for children's birthday parties but having "tequila-ed" my way through more than half the classes, I made a mistake, or shall we say I blew it by adding too much of one thing into another and blew a birthday-boy's head off taking with it my thumb and two of my fingers from my left hand. Needless to say, I left town under a cloud of cordite and found employment that didn't require the use of all digits in another part of the state.

As far as gut overhang verses dick shrinkage goes; when men maturate (women mature. men maturate.) the stomach harvests fat cells from where ever it can. Don't ask me why. Do I look like a penile expert to you? Don't answer that, my reach is far and castigation will be harsh! The pecker being the closest doner site, is the first to suffer. Here again photos of you present irrefutable evidence. Of course rich folks can afford fattier foods, there by needing less fat cells for the belly. That's why well to do men are so well endowed. Bet ya never would have guessed that one, eh?

Anyway, as a good anarchist I must continue to spread chaos throughout the land and today is a busy day indeed so adios amigos,

E-dog the peripatetic paraplegic pecker professor :rolleyes: BANG!

Ah, I think the secret is to keep replenishing the stock. They all seem to be OK when they're fresh. You must have heard that the substance that most quickly destroys a woman's libido is wedding cake. It seems it sometimes turns them into shrews as well. It certainly had both effects on my first. :rolleyes:

Now I think I'll just go and dig out my tinfoil beany hat before the electronic waves of outrage turn my brain cells to mush. :D

Hiya Prof.

Thanks for the lucid explanation. As your reach is far, I guess you can still manage to manipulate the object of your primary studies despite the overhang. You are indeed fortunate. As for your castigating habits you could, perhaps, try some emollient concoction to relieve the harshness. I wish you continued success in your studies and associated research into bodily secretions and earwax .

Hi Ed,
No. I just got to wondering what was going on below the overhang these days and toyed with the idea of a mirror on a stick (a full length mirror would have been too depressing), but didn't fancy being caught by the missus while using it. :D So it had to be a manual exploration, so to speak. I'm a little baffled as to where things have gone!

Put it this way. It's a good thing my legs don't work properly any more because I'd probably have to sit down to pee anyway :mfrlol:

What I want to know is:

We've probably all heard of the :mfrlol: woman who sued the manufacturer, for not advising against it, after she killed her dog by "drying" it in her microwave, but is it really necessary that manufacturers should need to apply "idiot" labels to their products?

I just bought a pair of shoes with a label that read, "These shoes are waterproof. Please note: Water may still enter over the tops of these shoes". Who'd'a thunk it? :D

This could get very technical! :mfrlol: Simple answer is that lightning is caused by different electrical forces between the clouds and the earth balancing themselves out. It travels down the line of least resistance which sometimes makes it appear unpredictable. Wet trees are not good things to stand or lay under during a lightning storm as the water makes them excellent electrical conductors.

A previously unknown phenomenon of lightning only became apparent when storms were viewed from space. Often an earth-bound lightning strike is accompanied by a spike of lightning that goes vertically up from the cloud towards space. I don't think anyone has worked out what causes these yet. If you Google Images for "lightning" or "lightning spikes" you may find some pics of them.

Sounds like nothing to worry about. Situation normal. :hug:

Added: In case that sound like a criticism, please let me explain.

What choice does he have? Who could match the Dawg when he promulgates his thought processes in poetry and prose, periodically punctuated with a perfectly placed and pertinent alliteration? I ask you - Is it any wonder he converses with himself?

Perhaps that's one for the ladies, but if it's any help, now that I have to employ a little man to cut my privet, I do have a redundant electric hedge trimmer going spare.
