If anyone's wondering why I have deleted most of the comments it's because all I have done is post a f/cking quote with some facts in, then I get people being plain rude and trying to argue that I'm wrong? If you don't like these FACTS then don't comment and go away? Now if you have something unintelligable to inform I suggest you keep it to yourself because I don't need to hear them and you don't need to say them.

People saying 7 is true: the hairs don't grow back thicker, they just look/feel thicker due to the end being blunt. Hairs naturally have a tapered end, and when you shave it cuts the point off, leaving you with a flat edge.

number 9 annoys me so much.
like i always crack my knuckles and i aske dmy science teacher in grade eight and she was like "no, it doesn't actually cause arthritis. when you actually crack your knuckles it's actually just air bubbles which is the crack."
so no, old people, i won't have arthritis for this reason.
