Truly the human body is a complex and amazing system. To get you a feel for it, here's a list of some amazing facts about our human body.
A cough releases an explosive charge of air that moves at speeds up to 60 mph.
A fetus acquires fingerprints at the age of three months.
A fingernail or toenail takes about 6 months to grow from base to tip.
A healthy individual releases 3.5 oz. of gas in a single flatulent emission, or about 17 oz. in a day.
A human being loses an average of 40 to 100 strands of hair a day.
A person will die from total lack of sleep sooner than from starvation. Death will occur about 10 days without sleep, while starvation takes a few weeks.
A sneeze can exceed the speed of 100 mph.
According to German researchers, the risk of heart attack is higher on Monday than any other day of the week.
According to the Kinsey Institute, the biggest erect penis on record measures 13 inches. The smallest tops off at 1 3/4 inches.
After spending hours working at a computer display, look at a blank piece of white paper. It will probably appear pink.

Be aware of the two players who split the jackpot in the Irish Lottery, both having picked their numbers using the dates of birth, ordination and death of the same priest!

no numbers are in the outside columns. It is as though players had run their pencils down the middle of the ticket, dodging a little from side to side, thinking they were choosing at random. They were not - as their disappointing jackpot prize proved.

//////////////////APAW=High-flyer
Meaning
High-flyers, sometimes spelled high-fliers, are people who have achieved notable success, especially those who have become successful more quickly than is normal. The term is also used to describe speculative stock that has reached a high price in a short time.
Origin
We might expect this term to have originated in the world of aviation. In a way that's correct. The phrase does in fact predate the invention of planes/balloons by some hundreds of years, but there is an avian connection - if we recall that the word aviation derives from the Latin name for birds - avis. The first known citation of it in print is in Richard Harvey's diatribe Plaine Perceuall the peace-maker of England, 1590:
"Men haue great desire to be compted [regarded as] high fliers and deepe swimmers."
When looking for the origin of the term we need to take account of its change in meaning over time. When coined in the 16th century it wasn't used admiringly to refer to someone who had achieved success, but critically about someone who unwisely aspired to achievements beyond their talents. We still retain a version of the phrase with that meaning - high-flown, which we reserve for critical judgments of people who are extravagantly ambitious and bombastic. These are of course exactly the character faults that were ascribed to Icarus, the figure of Greek mythology who ignored his father's warnings not to use his homemade wax and feather wings to fly too close to the Sun, resulting in the inevitable crash to Earth. It is clear that, until the late 17th century at least, high-flyers were directly equated with Icarus. For example, William Chilcot's Practical treatise concerning evil thoughts, 1698:
"These highflyers, when they are in their altitudes, suddenly their waxen wings melt, and down they fall headlong."

New Study Explains How Pot Kills Cancer Cellsby Steve Kubby, Sierra TimesNovember 10th, 2003
A new study published in Nature Reviews-Cancer provides an historic and detailed explanation about how THC and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer, but preserve normal cells. The study by Manuel Guzmán of Madrid Spain found that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals. They do so by modulating key cell-signalling pathways, thereby inducing direct growth arrest and death of tumor cells, as well as by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that supply the tumor.

Terry,I'm not sure I consider myself a pantheist either, but for different reasons. I think God exists in the minds of men, and nowhere else, while the Universe is a different thing altogether. "God is all, and all is God," is just a human attempt to expand a concept, but it is still just a concept. However, the Universe is real and powerful (dare I say "omnipotent? "), and therefore much more worthy of reverence than a mere "concept."At any rate, I don't think "God" should be revered when "God" is ugly. I think most of the casinos I have visited in Vegas are FAR from beautiful. It seems so artificial and EMPTY to me. I am a closet Egyptologist, so when I had the chance, I stopped at the Luxor while driving through Vegas. As I walked the halls of that casino, the air was toxic (from smokers) and stale, the carpet was stimulating, but not in a good way, making me feel chaotic and jittery, and there was no depth or meaning in the structure, amusements, or people. It was so EMPTY! The only fulfillment I found there was in three places:(1) I saw the 3D IMAX presentation of "Into The Deep," which is an exploration of the kelp forests off the shores of California. It was an awesome experience, the most memorable part was watching a baby leopard shark hatch from its egg, just two feet in front of my face. 3D IMAX is an awesome way to use technology to present at least part of the experience of nature.(2) I think man's ability to engineer a hotel like the Luxor is amazing. The fact that man can build such awesome and useful structures is beautiful. It is also very sad. What a waste of talent and ability in the service of the meaningless. But I'm not afraid of sorrow. Reverence for the Universe /cannot/ be free of sorrow. Perhaps we become empty when we fill ourselves with too much of either Sorrow or Happiness.(3) I don't gamble (well, I have bought the occasional lottery ticket, maybe five or six in my life), and I find gambling in general to be highly unethical, and not at all "beautiful." When we were leaving and my mother-in-law said, "we can't come to Vegas and not gamble!" She put a quarter in and lost. I said, "Now Pam, you know better than that!" I put a quarter in and hit the spin button, and just as I had hoped (I had a 1 in 3 chance), I got a cherry, and it paid out two quarters. I handed one of them to my mother-in-law and said, "I got your quarter back...now please don't do that again." My wife and her brother thought it was quite funny, me "schooling" their mother about the evils of gambling, by gambling. That whole exchange, made possible by a 1 in 3 chance at the slot machine, was a very fun social exchange, which I find beautiful and meaningful.We got in the car and left Las Vegas... I've been through Las Vegas many times traveling back and forth between California and Utah, but I've only stopped a couple of times. The Star Trek experience was a lot of fun (even if it is kind of cheesy), and as a former dance club owner, I always love to see the creative use of lighting effects (I like the fake sunset in the Caesar's Palace mall area). The beauty I see in Las Vegas is the creativity and create-ability of humans. Much of it is cheap imitation, and most of it is empty of real meaning, so in addition to awe, Las Vegas also evokes sorrow. When visiting Las Vegas (particularly the casinos, not the homes of friends), I frequently feel thrilled, numb, excited, and sad, but I rarely feel joy.So I feel for you. When I think about Las Vegas, I may feel awe for the engineering, and see beauty in human creativity, but it inevitably turns to sorrow because of the emptiness.On the other hand, Lake Mead (another of man's creations) is full of life, vitality, and meaning. The Desert Wildlife Refuge is wonderful, as is the Mojave. And Las Vegas isn't far from Southern Utah, with Zions, Bryce, Canyonlands, the Grand Canyon, etc.Dare I compare Las Vegas to an oasis in the desert, where you may drink, but never quench your thirst?B

/////////////////Why do we have wisdom teeth?
Tucked away at the back of your mouth are the the heavy mashers of the enamel world.
Anthropologists believe that your third set of molars (wisdom teeth), are the evolutionary answer to your ancestor’s early diet of coarse, rough food – like leaves, roots, and the occasional wiry squirrel – which required some major chewing power and resulted those little front teeth being worn down to useless nubbins in no time.
Your current diet with its softer foods and yogurt products (something your distant ancestors would have loved), along with marvels of modern technologies such as forks, knives, and Tom LeLanes new super-quite Juicer have relegated wisdom teeth to the status of just another lowly dental scare tactic. As a result, evolutionary biologists now classify wisdom teeth as vestigial organs, or body parts that have become functionless due to evolution. You know, like your coccyx.
From baby teeth to permanent teeth, tooth development lasts years. While your first molar erupts around the age of six and the second molar pokes it’s head above gum at around the age of 12, wisdom teeth, which begin forming around your tenth birthday usually don’t erupt until you are between the ages of 17 and 25. Because this is the age that you stop putting your body parts inside pencil sharpeners and pulling the ear hair out of feral dogs, the set of third molars has been nicknamed “wisdom teeth.”
Some people never get wisdom teeth, leading to the term ‘non-wisdom teeth people’, but for those who do, they may sprout anywhere from one to four – and, on very rare occasions, more than four. If you’re one of the unfortunates who get these extraneous, or supernumerary, teeth, it can lead to all sorts of problems.
Since human jaws are smaller than they used to be (possibly due to fashion), when wisdom teeth form they often become impacted, or suppressed, by the other teeth around them. (Evidently teeth are imperialist capitalists whose only wish is to subjugate their immediate neighbors.) If the tooth only partially erupts, food gets trapped in the gum tissue surrounding it which creates a perfect little home for bacteria leading to the potential for a serious infection and really bad breath. (Some people have bad breath without this.)
American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons estimates that about 85 percent of wisdom teeth will eventually need to be removed. This dovetails nicely with the fact that Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are the ones who remove them.
The association recommends that patients remove wisdom teeth around 15 to 18 in order to “prevent future problems and to ensure optimal healing” and because no one cares if teenagers can’t talk for a week.
