799037	2009-08-07 06:15:00	Just think, someone out there has spent 20 years getting educated,and is now earning a living by mulling over the possible reasons some teenagers eat what they pull out of their noses......	Metla (12)

Are we suggesting that human behaviour is not a mystery to some? Or that the facts are not worthy of consideration?	Cicero (40)

Some think it boosts the immune system. Albert Einstein did that from time to time. Apparently the action of picking the nose tends to improve your intelligence!

I may add that I have never seen a cow wearing a watch either.	Sweep (90)

Some think it boosts the immune system . I watched one of the documentaries about an African tribe where the father takes care of the children and as their infant noses run from a cold or the flu or whatever, they suck the mucous out of their child's nose and swallow it for themselves . The theory? It's all simple protein - and protein is in short supply in some African cultures if not from the lack of meat to eat . I've often heard it's a craving for the nutritional ingredients - and maybe it's the protein again, but there's some creditability to the immunological thought too . Protein is incredibly expensive for the body to manufacture - is this a way of harvesting some that might be lost? After all, most pathogens and germs enter into the nose through normal respiration and since the bacteria is "killed" or rendered safe by the anti-agents in mucous, then all that's left is the DNA and perhaps - PERHAPS - this is a way for the body to get a fingerprint of the next infectious problem and prepare some antigens for it? Hmmm?	SurferJoe46 (51)

The effect of seeing a childish-shaped face causes emotions of protection, adoration and generally good-will toward that persona or anima .	SurferJoe46 (51)
