    There exists a mathematical theorem called the hairy ball theorem.

    It states that there is no nonvanishing continuous tangent vector field on even-dimensional n-spheres. In other words, you can't comb a coconut without having at least one cowlick, and there is no time on planet Earth where cyclonic winds don't exist.

    Babe Ruth wore a cabbage leaf under his cap to keep his head cool. He changed it every two innings. I've heard of nursing mothers doing this if they are trying to wean their babies and to cut down on the pain. JSYK, it works and I swear by it because I had to do it myself.

    took me a second to realise, but this makes sense. BMI being height and weight.

    So i guess cosmetic leg lengthening where they break your legs and stretch them repeatedly would also decrease you bmi
