Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. 3. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. 4. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. 5. If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-21-2004 11:20 AM                     Did you know that the average human head weighs 8 pounds?  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 09-21-2004 10:32 PM                     Some "hair" Did you knows...because I'm studying: Averaging out the human body, each square inch of human skin consists of 19 million cells, 60 hairs, 90 oil glands, 19 feet of blood vessels, 625 sweat glands, 19,000 sensory cells - and is normally inhabited by anywhere from 10,000 to a million bacteria. There are between 100,000 and 150,000 hairs on the average person's head, and nearly 400,000 on your complete body. Babies have about 1,100 hairs per square inch, but by age 50, this drops to around 250 per square inch. (Bad news for you Phil! ) Each hair follicle will grow an average of 20 new hairs in a lifetime, at an average rate of a centimeter to a half inch per month - so if you lived to be 100 years old and had just one hair that never fell out, it would be over 12 meters (12 meters = about 40 feet) long. Although humans may appear "naked" by the standards of other primates, we have more hair follicles per square inch than most other mammals.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-21-2004 10:48 PM                        Kodak recycles over 20 million pounds of motion picture film annually: http://www.fpchollywood.com/fscsalvage.html Standard 35mm film is actually slit to 34.95 mm wide.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-22-2004 12:21 AM                        90% of household dust is sloughed-off skin cells, & the excrement of dust mites who feed on the dead skin cells.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-22-2004 02:20 AM                     The majority of the cream in an Oreo cookie is just lard and sugar Dominos Pizza used to use peanut butter as a thickening agent in their pizza sauce  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

(Bad news for you Phil! ) How in the heck do I get dragged into these things? MaDamn Moderator, FYI: Although I'm what's considered "smooth" and have very little body hair and chest hair, I do have a full head of lush hair. I have some friends that started balding in their early 20's. It's a gene thing. I personally just counted all the hairs on my head and I have an average of 1076 hairs/sq-in. NO balding, no thinning, and NO shit! Until I was about 35, I only had "peach fuzz" and I didn't even have to shave facial hair. Now, at 39, I have to shave daily else my beard would look like Will's chest. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Tommie Evans Expert Film Handler Posts: 116 From: Birmingham, West Midlands, UK Registered: Sep 2004 posted 09-22-2004 03:29 PM                     When you die you lose 21 grams.
