Sets....

…. Whilst self-educating myself on the patio this afternoon, I happened upon a wonderful little tidbit of useless information and I feel like sharing….. ready?.... ok… fish have two sets of nostrils….. that’s right, boys and girls….. two sets of nostrils!!….. one set is forward-facing to suck in water…and the second set is rearward-facing and, you guessed it, that’s where the water that the fish just ‘breathed’ gets evacuated….. marvelous stuff, to be sure, but here’s the bit that I found most entertaining……

… since human beings evolved from fishies, we also have two sets of nostrils!... we’ve got the set that everyone knows about, of course…. but then there are another set (the rearward-facing ones) that attach back to the rear of our necks….. pretty groovy, no?..... and if – for some reason – that second set of nostrils don’t attach correctly then we’re left with a cleft palate!....

… so there, my mission here is done…. Y’all are now armed with one helluva fine piece of information about your own bodies that I bet you didn’t even know…. so go forth and bask in the knowledge of your new nostrils….. get to know them.......

.... I’m off to swizzle myself a gin & tonic…. Teaching definitely takes a lot out of me….

I'm thinking the reason our second set of nostrils is vestigial is so that alcohol doesn't burn them...

For bullshit I need more than Gin Tonic WTFO. Any good junior frogman can give a better, at the very least more engaging lesson than that. Shit I feel good.

My life's been basically bland recently. I can't be bothered with anything recently. Pretty much nothing seems important. I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning.

Lâinteret du forum est precisement de susciter un debat parmi les citoyens pour que le budget et les choix quâil sous-tend soient places au c?ur du debat public. Un budget, ce sont des choix. Des choix supposent des priorites.
