The idea of getting a large towel to drape over your shoulders is helpful, also letting the room fill up with steam from the shower itself. Be careful, unless your in an area that does have chlorinated and ... |

| It is definitely not face-blindness for this. It's lighting. If the light was at a different angle, this wouldn't work as well. The shadows are just the inverse of the convex, because of that the areas that are concave, have a whiter tone, so your mind processes them as being extrusions. Colors that... |

I remember being annoyed that everyone was so upset with their excessive crying. When nap time came around I was always uncooperative. I... |

| How is this a troll? It doesn't seem offensive or reaction-causing to me. The OP is starting with a topic that is plausible but is highly unlikely. It is a first move in having someone comment that its not a real issue, or gives a funny answer as an indirect method of saying that the topic is bogus... |

| Try the Naga Jolokia pepper. I really want to try one but am scared of what it will do to me. In 2000, India's Defence Research Laboratory (DRL) reported a rating of 855,000 units on the Scoville scale,[7] and in 2004 a rating of 1,041,427 units was made using HPLC analysis.[16] For comparison, Taba... |
