Why is it that when you have a cold or a badly blocked nose, the blockage seems to randomly migrate from one nostril to the other? and during the migration you have no blockage at all.

This has actually puzzled me since i was a kid.

Anybody else have a crazy question that defies all known boundaries of science?

As Nitrogen is heavier than Oxygen and about 80% of the air is Nitrogen, all the Oxygen should be high up in the sky. So how can we breath? (There is an answer BTW)

I know that one. it's because we are all female at conception, right up until a certain point in gestation.

And the nose thing is because it's normal for one nostril to have a little sleep and you then just breathe thru' the other, then they swap! Seriously!

If your nose is blocked, you notice!

why does toast always land butter side down when you drop a piece?

why do old women wear make up? :scared:

why do we have snot in the first place?

why if you were on a plane travelling at 300 miles oer hr, and if you jumped in the air, why wouldnt you end up at the back of the pane upon landing back on your feet?

why does a piece of paper sink in the sea, but a 100 ton ship made of metal float?

I know all the answers, but they do make us think, and no dont ask for the answers, because i dont know them all really

It is blocked. I have a damn cold, that's what made me think of this. My nose is flowing gunk quite freely. it's rather disgusting actually.

Why do men always leave the loo seat up

Yes, that's so, and there's a whole body of yogic science around this called Swara yoga. It's related to the phase of the moon and the time of sunrise, which nostril starts flowing first at daybreak. The changeover is approx every every hour to ninety minutes throughout the day and for about four minutes at changeover time both nostrils flow freely. The activity of the left and right brain hemispheres changes with the nostril flow and at the four-minute changeover is when we are at our most "meditative" and we should not try to over-exert physically or mentally at that time- mistakes can happen, concentration is poor, we might feel a bit "dreamy". Left nostril flowing is more conducive to quiet, mental work and right nostril for physical activity (broadly speaking). If you're having trouble getting to sleep, check your nostril flow, probably right nostril is freer. Turn onto your right side, apply pressure to your left armpit by tucking your right hand into it and wait for the flow to swap to the left side. Alternatively do this three times which I think is what I need to do now to get over all this esoteric stuff. :scared: You always wanted to know this, didn't you folks?
