Why Do Men Have Nipples? Read Online Free PDF Page B

bride reports that a late-night fridge-binge of haggis and poi will leave you with the worst morning breath of your life.
    So, given all these tales, we should probably start with the anaerobic bacteria, the xerostomia (a fancy word for dry mouth), or the volatile sulfur compounds (which are actually waste products from the bacteria). All these combine to give you that wonderful get-up-in-the-morning feeling of garbage mouth.
    Other things also contribute to this oral smorgasbord: medications, alcohol, sugar, smoking, caffeine, and dairy products.
    But don’t run off and have your tongue sandblasted; there are simple things that you can do to fight morning breath. Brush regularly (don’t forget the tongue), floss, and drink plenty of water.
     
    Gberg: I was just thinking that the more chaotic this is, the harder it is for Carrie to edit. It might even induce a seizure.
    Leyner: That’s funny!! I think tormenting her is always a good sort of compass for us when we’re lost and floundering.
    Leyner: What is a seizure, actually?
    Gberg: Is that the way it usually works in the creative process? Is your genius always fueled by torment?
    Gberg: Abnormal electrical activity in the brain, why?
    Leyner: My creative process is fueled by a sense of Nietzschean aristocracy and a simultaneous feeling that I’m an abject fraud.
    Gberg: I think everyone feels like a fraud. What about me, trying to answer these unanswerable questions?
    Leyner: Coupled with torment and an overwhelming need to be loved and liked (even) AND horniness AND creditors calling ALL THE FUCKING DAY LONG. Didn’t you go to medical school in Ingushetia? You are a fraud.
    Gberg: Where the hell is Ingushetia?
    Leyner: Directly east of Chechnya. Check MapQuest.
    Gberg: Enough of your Chechen obsession. Let’s talk about the book.
    Leyner: I told you . . . with the amount of money we’re getting paid for this book, Mercedes and I are getting a time-share summer dacha in Chechnya.
    WHY ARE YAWNS CONTAGIOUS?
    Here are several things we can be thankful are not contagious:
     
drooling
nosebleeds
itching
seizures
farting
     
    That said, there are several theories for what causes yawns and why they are contagious. It was originally thought that people yawned to get more oxygen, but this appears not to be true.
    The most common theory is behavioral. In an article examining contagious yawns, Dr. Steven M. Platek and others state, “Contagious yawning may be associated with empathic aspects of mental state attribution and are negatively affected by increases in schizotypal personality traits much like other self-processing related tasks.”
    Huh? I find myself yawning right now.
    What they mean is that people are unconsciously imitating others when they yawn. Humans are not the only species that yawn. Yawning is seen in many animals, including cats, fish, and birds, although we don’t know what a yawning fish looks like either.
    WHY DO MEN HAVE NIPPLES?
    Since our editor thought this question made the best title for this book, we racked our brains to come up with a hilarious, witty, and informative answer to this question. Our attempts proved futile, so, in order to finish this book so another brilliant title wouldn’t go to waste, we went for the boring, straight scientific response. Sorry.
    We are mammals and blessed with body hair, three middle ear bones, and the ability to nourish our young with milk that females produce in modified sweat glands called mammary glands. Although females have the mammary glands, we all start out in a similar way in the embryo. During development, the embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, when the male sex chromosome kicks in for a male embryo. The embryo then begins to develop all of its male characteristics. Men are thus left with nipples and also with some breast tissue. Men can even get breast cancer and there are some medical conditions that can cause male breasts to enlarge. Abnormal enlargement of the breasts
