OMG

Did you know...
  • you get a tan because your body needs to protect your skin from intensive exposure to sunlight to avoid vitamin D overload?
  • protein, fat and carbohydrates are interchangeable? I.e. when there's a shortage of one of them, the body will convert one of the other two into the missing compound!
  • Edit: fever does not "burn" pathogens, that doesn't make sense. The body's temperature is increased to speed up its metabolism, facilitating the healing procedure, and the heart rate is increased as well. Of course, if merely the body's temperature were to be increased by 1 or 2 degrees without speeding up other functions this would only facilitate the multiplication of bacteria. Sigh.

Just sung through the whole of Songs Of You & Me for the gazillionth time. Never fails to recharge a sobby/tired vliin.
See?


I wonder at what age those good-little-schoolgirl looks will have changed into grown woman. My guess: never.
