    Yeah, there are many pictures that disprove this now. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not.

    The dimples on a golf ball average from 300 - 500. The more dimples the higher the ball will travel. But, they obviously haven't seen me try to hit one. :)

    Sounds illuminating but it does beg the question: Why? Can you share a picture?

    How much you sweat does not actually determine how good your workout is. Everyine is born with a different amount of sweat glands.

    If you have hard brown sugar just add a slice of bread or marshmallow to the bag and seal it. It will give out moisture and soften up.

    "www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/.../the-red-juice-in-raw-red-meat-is-not-blood/
    Apr 20, 2010 - Red meats, such as beef, are composed of quite a bit of water. This water, mixed with a protein called myoglobin, ends up comprising most of that red liquid. In fact, red meat is distinguished from white meat primarily based on the levels of myoglobin in the meat. The more myoglobin, the redder the meat."
