Default Fingernails

I swear that since moving from UK to USA I've had to cut my fingernails twice as often. They grow faster here.

Am I just imagining it or has anyone else noticed this as well?

A little off topic but what is the obsession with fake nails here? One of the girls I work (she is single and has no kids) pays $20 plus tip every other week to have her fake nails 'filled'.

To answer your I seem to cut my toe nails a lot.

It's the hormones in the meat.

Makes kids grow quicker, and bigger.

Japanese who moved here after WWII have seen their average go up by umpteen squillion inches. Or something. Penis.

I have noticed that the hairs in my ears grow at an uncontrolable rate ...Amazonion at times ...

Years ago ...when a student in Manchester I lived in a flat that was under one of the most popular take off routes from the local airport...from 5.30am they would zoom over every few minutes...being a student I rarely rose before 11.30am ...had the worst ear wax ever ..great big orange globs of the stuff every morning..as big as a marrowfat peas...go home for the weekend ..nothing..back to Uni ...tonnes of the stuff ..just thought you'd all like to know

Elementary, my dear Watson - a combination of excessive alcohol intake and student flatmates resulted in the insertion of marrowfat peas into your ears each night once you were comatose.

...or did you eat one to confirm that it was not, indeed, a marrowfat pea?
