Why are small dogs mean?
 Quote:Can kicking a guy in the balls really kill him? If the kick is hard enough to rupture a testicle and an infection occurs, sure. I heard one story (possibly apocryphal) of a bloke who was kicked in the nards so hard the pain made him vomit, and he choked to death. More often than not, though, a kick to the daddy bag will simply make us wish we were dead. Quote:If asemetry is unattractive, then why are cleft chins conventionally attractive? A cleft chin actually adds to the symmetry of the face - it functions as a sort of dividing line. Quote:How did early humans figure out spicy food wasn't poison? They offered some to Oog (you know how Oog is - that nutter'll eat anything) and watched him for a few days. Quote:Why are some people creeped on by twins? I'm going to guess you meant 'creeped out' (if I'm wrong, the following answer makes no sense). Humans are primarily visual learners, and one of the important things we learn early on is facial recognition - this face goes with this person, that face goes with that person. Twins wonk out our programming, we feel uneasy when we can't associate a unique face to a unique person. Boru

Primarily because taste receptors vary slightly according to body chemistry (this also accounts for 'good' and 'bad' smells). There may also be unpleasant mental associations with certain foods. Boru

As compounds in the ink and paper begin to break down, the mimic the volatiles associated with vanilla and almonds. New books (to me) have a rather unpleasant chemical stench. Boru
