The bacteria at the ass-end of the GI tract is mostly the same stuff as the beginning. Saliva and stomach acid also do a pretty good job of killing organisms.

The same reason we have two of any organ: way back in the evolutionary tree, before the comforts of modern society, it was a lot more common for organs to fail or be catastrophically damaged. The people with two got to pass their genes on and the ones with one didn't.

I've nearly been killed several times trying to (properly) cross a street at a crosswalk, and during the proper time.

That way people don't start walking too late. If the walk signal is on, you have enough time to get across before the light changes. If the warning hand is flashing, you should still have enough time to finish crossing, but not enough if you start. If drivers don't like it, they can go fuck themselves.

First part: humidity and other atmospheric conditions. Second part: your skin's oil has wicked into your hair and formed a barrier against moisture and static electricity, and has given it a bit of weight so it stays in place better.
