Basically, one person asks a question about general life and the next person answers it. the person that answers it asks another, and it keeps going and going.

RULES:
You must answer a question, and then ask a seperate question on a new line.
If you answer a question at the same time as someone else answering the same question, and the person who answered the question at the same time as you is above you, you must answer his/her question and reinstate yours.

don't rat them out, it's dog. just use it as blackmail for a while. If anyone was to rat 'em out it would be your gf, her bro might hate you forever :p

Q) how much will the yen go up by april?
 
a.) No, wait until he is old enough to have his own GF, then chop his balls off.

Q.) Why do I get a build up of foul, alcohol-smelling earwax when I drink too much wine?

Na mate, he saw me sneak in and told her old man. Not the other way round.

That got me wondering;

So earwax isn't that unusual—it's a compound on a continuum of perfectly normal lipid products produced by cells.

So what, exactly, is in earwax, or cerumen? Here's where it gets ugly. It's a combination of things:

Desquamated keratinocytes. Dead skin cells, in other words, that have peeled off of the epithelia lining the ear canal.
Sebum. This is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands that are scattered over most of your body. If you don't wash your hair for a few days, you know that oily, greasy substance that builds up? That's sebum.
Various waxes. The dense, waxy part of cerumen is a secretion from specialized glands in the ear canal, the ceruminous glands.
All of these combine into a greasy paste that helps protect the passageway into the ear from invaders. I know I wouldn't want to set foot in it.

For a more detailed analysis of the chemical composition of ear wax, one can do a little chromatography. About half of the dry weight of ear wax is lipid, and it consists of:

Cholesterol and cholesterol esters: 32.5%
Fatty acids: 22.7%
Ceramides: 18.6%
Squalene: 6.4%
Triacylglycerols: 3.0%




****ing yuck!
