I bet you didnt know that

Cartouche

As people here work in various jobs / professions they might know things from work or study no one here knows yet. this is what this topic is about.

what do you know that we have never heard of?

Eg: you don't need to be great at maths to be an architect

this is obvious to me but everyone says to me "i wanted to be an architect but i was bad at math,i can barely add"

If you are a Caucasian and you don't have blue eyes now, you were most certainly born with them. Caucasian's are all born with blue eyes due to pigment melanin, but the colour changes as you get older. In general eye colour is not set in stone until age two. When it comes to melanin, the more you have of it in your hair, eyes and skin, the more sunlight they reflect. A small deposit of melanin in the irises — the muscular rings around the pupils — makes them appear blue, while a medium amount makes them green or hazel, and a lot of it makes the irises brown.

If you have darkly pigmented skin, then there is a possibly you started off with blue eyes, but it is more likely your eyes will have been brown because there is more pigment there from the start.

At least I finally recall the name of this spot between the shoulder blades: Acnestis
Look it up!

Is is called like that because that's where you get spots on your back?

Thanked in appreciation of the use of the word pithy. One of my favorites, and not used enough imo.

And it does make a pithy point; our needs are far less than our wants.

Yes and it also speaks to man's rush towards self-annihilation.

Trimmer.

(The nose has been out of joint for, oh, I dunno, the past 70 odd years, give or take a decade).

The trimmer or the nose?....this is really important, I've only used it once so far:eek:

Ah, but can you also wiggle your ears?

Sort of, I can move the muscle under them- hard to describe it- so the entire ear moves on my head. Can't move my pecs to make my boobs bounce though

New Home wrote: »

BTW, when I mention the ear thing, I don't mean this:

I mean, start like that, but continue on with your hand under your chin until you reach the other ear lobe. You're basically drawing an @ with your arm and your head.

Yea, right arm to touch right ear but hits the left ear on the way around too

Would ye ever stop boasting! I can barely put my hands behind my back such is the lack of movement in my shoulders. Don't play sport.

I don't get this. If by touch you mean "touch with your fingertips so as to live a print", then I get you. Otherwise I don't agree, I can. But then again, I can put my bent arm around my head so as to touch my ear on the same side as the arm (e.g. I can wrap my right arm all around my head so that I can grab my right ear with my right hand passing under the chin), so I can tell you I can definitely touch all of my upper back (as proven by the soap traces when I shower), albeit with the back of my hand*. As for the murderer accidentally touching a victim's back, I'm still lost - would you mind explaining, please?

(*It's a bit like when you shake your own hands on your back, one arm passing from the shoulders and the other from your waist)

I thought I was the only person who could do this! That's awesome! Something I didn't know

My dad bought one of those nose hair trimmers from Lidl - it broke after he had used it twice.

On the other hand, I think those ^^^ guys were trying to re-create a modern version of the Rosetta stone.

That's the instructions to rebuild society? In 8 languages no less??

I bought nose hair trimmer in lidl the other day and the instructions ran to about 100 pages!

Now, if the coroner found a sign on your back that read "Kick me", that'd be different.

I can touch the part between my shoulderblades without squeezing at all. I can use the whole of the back of my left hand on it and the fingers (though not the palm) of my right hand to touch the whole area, and slightly less of my left hand when I do it with the hands reversed. I had the OH confirm I wasn't squeezing and can easily put moisturizer on it!

I suspected as much when I read your post as I put some ibuprofen gel on my shoulderblade last week and had no trouble applying it to the general area. Yoga ftw!

I don't think that the coroner would be pointing fingers at anyone if they found moisturizer in that spot, it's not that inaccessible!

and even if you cant reach every spot there is nothing to stop you using a sponge or something similar to reach that little bit further.

Everyone has a spot at their back that can't be reached by your own hands, not even by your fingertips and even if you think you can. In the shower you can of course reach every point with a sponge. But afterwards try to moisterize your back, or, in another situation, try to put ointment on your upper back, if you have back pain. There is always a spot that will be untouched. It's just not possible for normal people to reach it.

Now with a murder case. If, say, the victim was found in their bed with ointment or fresh moisturizer on their back, normally the pathologist would say, well, wait until the post mortem.
But when he finds out that the spot between the shoulder blades is moisterized he can be sure that another person is involved and that the victim was not alone shortly before his or her death.

It's admittedly simplified, but I'm intrigued by simple mistakes potential murderers might make.

I regret deeply that I ever posted that morsel about skin points, ointments and murderers ....
