Why does ear wax smell? To keep the bugs out.
Poor things can’t possibly hear through a foot a ear wax. I need to apply for a gov grant to clean whale ears.
"We're gonna need a bigger Q-Tip".
Man if I only had some photoshop skills I could put some obie ears on mr. whale. What? HUH? Say again.
50th percentile lethal dose for a 150 lb man for DDT is 9 grams.
By contrast, the 50th percentile lethal dose for a 150 lb man for caffine is 5 grams.
No sprayer has ever been injured by exposure to DDT.
A researcher arrived at a DDT factory to research their cancer rate. The manager said, I cam make this really fast. We have no cancer rate.
The researcher said that can’t be true. You have 900 people who work here.
Well, the manager said, there is Bob. He came here 25 years ago, and was hired, although he had a terminal brain cancer, and was thought to have less than six weeks to live. In six months it was determined that his cancer was in remission. He is getting old, but he is afraid to quit. Aside from Bob, we have no cancer rate.
DDT prevents cancer?
Cancer rates in DDT factories were very very low.
Make of it what you will.
How would it work? It may be that many cancers are caused by or the cause is vectored by parasites, and DDT affects the parasites.
By the way, with high school chemistry skills you can whip up a batch of DDT in your kitchen.
Let those TV guys put a wick in it and use it as a candle. Human ear wax didn’t work too well.
So, it's an interesting idea, but completely without corroboration, and scientifically worthless at this point.
Didn't stop the "journalist" from drawing lots of conclusions about DDT, though. I'm surprised that there wasn't anything in there about Global Warming.
Stuck on a bad blind date? Bring up this topic.
I was thinking of re doing one of those old Currier and Ives type prints of a harpooner with a Q tip.
Anyone ever heard of a substance called “ambergris”??..It’s Sperm Whale poo, but supposedly it’s worth a lot of money?
Well yes technically it’s not simple whale poo, but for simplicities sake, I called it that ;)!
I don’t give a if it’s illegal, I wouldn’t be harming a whale by finding a chunk washed up on beach!
Yes. Ambergris is used as a ingredient in expensive perfumes.
Any tips on finding it, I now live near the beach (Wilmington, N.C.)?
Whales have ears?
