So they can breastfeed ! Actually not such a stupid comment in fact - men's breast tissue can produce milk if exposed to the correct circulating hormones including 'prolactin'. In some instances men with high prolactin levels do develop 'galactorrhoea' (production of breast milk) and can express milk from their breasts.

i've been wondering....why do we have eyebrows?

Dodgy geezer...keep it real

roe...fish eggs?[:p]

We have eyebrows to stop perspiration on our foreheads from dripping into our eyes.

they don't bloody work very well, i want my money back God! [:p]

Perhaps you could just trade yours in for one of those huge "unibrows" some men have that run from ear to ear[

nah, in the sake of vanity i won't.

The answer to this one is to place vaseline in your eyebrows, it stops the sweat from dripping straight through and redirects it around the edges.

Wouldn;t you get shed-loads of zits around the 'eyebrow-line' from all the vaseline ? Plus it would look rather bizarre and is unlikely to attract many women...

you only wear the vaseline during sport when you are likely to sweat profusely, ex scotland goalkeeper used to use this technique. Spots are unlikely if you only do it for a few hours a week.

does this excite you? [:X][

] getting oiled up for sport? LOL!

I've never done it, i never sweat enough! probably more painful is when it rains and the gel/wax in your hair runs and gets in your eyes, YOuCH!

Sounds as attractive as having a root canal and doing taxes. [xx(]

or watching an episode of Brookside, or Neighbours. UUgh. Makes me shudder to think about it !

chris · « **Reply #14 on:** 15/04/2003 22:26:41 »

And Casualty come to that ! At least you can laugh at ER.

Exodus · « **Reply #15 on:** 18/04/2003 12:10:40 »

What makes casualty so funny is that its probably the most coincidental place in the world. Sod searching the internet for long lost realatives, just chop a finger off or get hit by a bus and go to Holby City, chances are one of your relatives will be brought in shortly after having tripped over the finger you chopped off....

God! i could write the script LOL! [

Thats Economics...

chris · « **Reply #16 on:** 18/04/2003 12:32:57 »

No way - your script is DEFINITELY more believable !

And besides, to get into Casualty or Holby city the finger would have to be homosexual and struggling to come to terms with its sexuality whilst doing its utmost to conceal its real feelings from the rest of your body.

Donnah · « **Reply #17 on:** 19/04/2003 17:18:21 »

Would this latent homosexual finger, by any chance, be the middle finger of a middle child who was actually trying to saw off the ring of truth s/he was wearing after misunderstanding their mother holding up her middle finger and shouting "sod off!"[

chris · « **Reply #18 on:** 20/04/2003 23:51:12 »

Yep, could be !

Maybe we should write our own online science soap opera. Quite literally "science fiction" !

Well the reason is, is that men and women start as the same, only women are the "delux model" in that there are extra features on the "base model" that is men .... the base model has nipples, females just have them developped further ...
