Yeah, and I think it also refutes the common idea that you should "take a deep breath" when you're feeling stressed or when you begin to meditate. That doesn't help you actually, as some people think. Rather, the exhalation of a large amount of air through your mouth just de-oxygenizes your cells and your brain at a faster rate which is not good for you. And that happens when you sigh also.

Did you know THAT?

Today I learned that in addition to being a new member here at AF, Fryslân is the name of a province in the northern Netherlands. Google and Wikipedia FTW!

I detect an intriguing anecdote behind that eyebrow...

Curiosity mode engaged.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
