Three good herbs to have in your medicine chest:

Xanthan gum hair gel

Xanthan gum is hair gel and this is amazing because it means it costs less than a cent per application.

You get yourself a little bag of xanthan gum from the health food store. You put a little bit of it in your palm – I'm talking less than an eighth of a teaspoon, just a dash. Then you add a little water and voilà!

Life Cycle of a Primate's Bite

Do primates like chimps and apes have baby teeth that they lose?

A. Humans are not unique in shedding and replacing their milk teeth, or deciduous teeth, and other primates do so for the same reason: They have different teeth for different diets at different stages of life.

There are three basic kinds of teeth: incisors, to bite and gnaw; canines, to stab and seize; and molars and premolars, to grind and chew. Like all mammals, primates initially feed on milk, and so need no teeth. As they begin to eat solid foods, the deciduous teeth emerge, to be gradually replaced by an assortment of permanent teeth.

In limited studies, according to "Primate Dentition: An Introduction to the Teeth of Nonhuman Primates," by Daris R. Swindler (Cambridge 2002), among all the apes orangutans show the greatest similarity to human beings with respect to their deciduous teeth.

Primate dentition has been studied for clues to development and evolution. The timing of emergence and loss of baby teeth, for example, is coordinated with the interval before weaning. In a 1989 study in The Journal of Human Evolution, gorillas were found to have a faster attrition rate for juvenile teeth than two other closely related primate species, orangutans and chimpanzees, suggesting to the researchers that weaning took place earlier in gorillas and possibly in fossil hominid species that showed a similar pattern, with implications for their reproduction rate.

clipped from www.factcheck.org Lawmaker Loopholes? Q: Is Congress exempt from "many" laws including one against sexual harassment? A: No. The latest e-mail rant against Congress — proposing a "28th Amendment" to the Constitution — is full of false and outdated claims. FULL QUESTION A chain e-mail (copy below) claims members of Congress can retire after one term with their same pay and, while serving, pay no Social Security and exempt themselves from some laws, e.g., sexual harassment and health care legislation. A 28th Amendment to the Constitution is proposed barring Congress from enacting laws applying to its members and not equally to the "citizens of the United States." Are the facts right? FULL ANSWER That’s a lot of very old baloney packed into a few words.
