This'll be great... Explain? Okay.

Any topic? Explore it!
Any opinion? Go ahead, grab a soapbox!

Yes, any topic, opinion, theory, point of view, cause of concern, paranoia, anxiety, depression, sleep deprivation, common cold, drug use,

whatever!
But this isn't just for the distressed, this thread is for everybody, relay to everyone (or no one) your trains of thought, your cause of cure, or just your cause!

This will be the thread to toss up opinions, provoke discussion and argument as the same thing. We will in effect be messin' with the science of point of view, my expertise.

It'll be great, I think we'll all stand to gain a few IQ points from this.

Okay, here's a thought that's been rattling around in me for a while.

BOOGERS!
Lots of boogers, different types, shapes, colors, and natures.
Boogers with hairs, boogers with little seeds you sniffed up earlier.

I like boogers, they're a beautifully integral part of nature!

So here's a provokation: Monkeys didn't have tissues, did they? So when our ancestors got sick, what did they do?

I don't mean the ones that died, that's too easy, but I have sorta wondered about what would happen to a monkey dying of the common cold. But, the ones that lived. Monkeys have better senses of smell than we do, not as good as a dog's, but better than ours. So being evolved monkeys, don't you think that our sensitive monkey-noses aren't adapted to being worn raw by tissues? Could we not just swallow our mucous and somehow direct it down through our sinuses to our stomachs? It'd save a whole lot on tissues...
