As I get older why does hair keep growing and coming in thicker on my backside but not my head?
I cannot grow a hair on my head, but I'll be damned if I can't grow an eyebrow hair 1" overnight. No idea what kind of cruel joke my body's hairmakers are pulling on me.
 
Is plant life “intelligent”?

If you are interested, there is a great book called “The Hidden Life of Trees” that addresses plant intelligence.

It argues that trees are highly social creatures and will keep each other alive when sick or injured by sharing nutrients via their roots? Some stumps have been found that are still alive hundreds of years after the tree fell, because it's been nourished by its nearby “family members”.

Trees can identify saliva and protect itself from the bacteria in it. Which would mean it would have a sense of taste, right?

This subject has fascinated me recently and it’ll be a good argument for being vegetarian to save lives when the plants they eat are also “beings”.

Plus I love plants!

Sounds like you like smoking plants too.

;)

As you age, your body undergoes various changes, including hormonal changes that can cause hair to grow in different places. Hormonal changes can cause an increase in androgens, male hormones that are present in both men and women. Androgens can stimulate hair growth in areas such as the chin, upper lip, and neck in women, as well as the chest, back, and ears in men.

Additionally, as we age, the hair follicles can shrink, leading to finer and lighter hair, which may not be as noticeable. This can also cause hair to grow in different places, as the hair follicles move and shift over time.

It's worth noting that hair growth patterns can also be influenced by genetics and other factors such as certain medical conditions, medications, and diet. If you're concerned about changes in your hair growth, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for an evaluation.
 
How does Iowa's fake ID keep working year after year after year?
 
Why are 80 to 90% of my problems IT related. Phone, desktop, tablet, software, downloads, tickets, reservations, the list goes on and on. The problem raises its head shopping at checkout, online, work, websites. It seemed more seamless and easy 10 years ago. Now every company takes you a different direction as far as website design and user requirements. IT is so segmented and branched out, IT is everything.

Thanks for the information and I for one welcome our new A.I. bot overlords.

Is there an end to space and what exists after that boundary?

If the Big Bang is true then are we at risk for another Big Bang to happen in our universe?

Am I already dead and my life is currently playing out in front of me during the first moments of crossing over?

Who was the first guy to grab a cow teat and take a drink?

1 of those 4 seems like an outlier, thematically. :D
 
- How can the universe be curved and infinite at the same time? A curve is part of a shape and shapes have limits.
Is space infinite in the "limitless" sense or the "immeasurable" definition?

But more importantly, when discussing the curvature of space, the curve shape belongs to time, not shape.

Similar to how a two-dimensional plane can be curved to become three-dimensional, our three-dimensional space is curved to become four-dimensional.
 
Most important question: would I be a dinosaur if Chicxulub didn't strike Earth? Or would the already decreasing diversity of Dinosaurs simply lended itself to the rise of mammals on a later timeline?

Why is it equally as hard to sleep when you want to sleep as it is to stay awake when you want to stay awake?

My guess is that human nature is human nature, and we evolved to pay attention to movement especially where it is unexpected. Those who didn't probably got eaten before they were able to pass on their DNA.

As for the Bible, every work of literature is a retelling from a mixture of fact and speculation. Take the story of the ark. How did a pair of penguins get all the way to Mt. Ararat? And why didn't the lions eat them?
Or the polar bears?

This kinda sounds like text from a book that wouldn't be allowed in most junior high classrooms under some potential rules.

And Noah forgot the unicorns. That's an unforgivable offense

- What was "there" before the Big Bang started it all moving? If the universe was originally just a solid mass, what surrounded it?

- Is DNA really just another virus evolved from the remnants of ancient viruses found within it?

- How did ancient peoples make those giant animal-shaped mounds that are perceptible only from the air?

- Why does every ancient culture have a form of bread and some kind of pyramid?

- Did dinosaurs really roar, or did they squawk like chickens? What did they really sound like?

- What did Abraham Lincoln's (and other famous people from history before recordings) voice really sound like?

- Will that leaning brick silo near Runnells ever fall down during my lifetime?
