how do white pple really smell??

[HvyArms]

Hollister huh? hmmm...

Hey, it is what it is

[SLOWLYbtngU]

No, I've never smelled a girl. They wont allow me to get close enough...

O'rly??

[HvyArms]

O'rly??

:sigh:

They're all like "ugh get away from me" and "dont speak to me outside of class" and "I dont date dwarfs"

[BluesClues]

how you smell also depends on what you eat too, but there is no difference in a certain races's body odor imo. Its just one of those things people say. For instance, I've heard people tell me that when it rains and a white person gets wet, they smell like a wet dog . If you wash your shit, then you're good to go.

This I can say is so very true. I was hanging out with some friends one day and it was raining and we all got wet. We all got in the car and they smelled so damn bad!!!!! I thought I would be sick. They do smell like wet dogs

Shit is crazy!!!!

wait, how do you know it wasn't you?

[BluesClues]

i have a dream...

I won't say all white people because I don't know all white people just the ones I used to hang around with. I can vouche for my experiences with wet white people. I know if my hair gets wet it has a smell to it because of the chemicals so I guess some black people may have a smell too

[BluesClues]

wait, how do you know it wasn't you?

Seeing as that was the first time I have ever smelled that scent before

[HvyArms]

Seeing as that was the first time I have ever smelled that scent before

Maybe you were having a "bad day"?

[SLOWLYbtngU]

:sigh:

They're all like "ugh get away from me" and "dont speak to me outside of class" and "I dont date dwarfs"

So if ur a dwarf.... WHAT AM I!?!?!?

[HvyArms]

So if ur a dwarf.... WHAT AM I!?!?!?

You're a girl, so you're not measured the same way I am. Girls dont like short guys

[BluesClues]

Maybe you were having a "bad day"?

Uh no

[HvyArms]

Uh no

Prove it!

[BluesClues]

Prove it!

Not possible

[HvyArms]

Not possible

It's definately possible, I wouldn't ask you to do something impossible.

[BluesClues]

It's definately possible, I wouldn't ask you to do something impossible.

Well you are. I'm about to take a nap now

[HvyArms]

Well you are. I'm about to take a nap now

wet dog taking a cat nap. thats wsup

how do white pple really smell??

As far as I know, all species of animal use an apparratus called The nose. The nose, from what i remember has been dated back as far as animals have been around. Here is a brief history of this wonderful device.



Our nose forms a passage between the world around us and our windpipe, but this hasn’t always been the case. We land-based vertebrates or “tetrapods” (mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians) originally descend from fish, and fish cant breathe through their nose. On the side of a fish’s head there are two nostrils, one front and one back, that form the opening to a little sac containing the olfactory organs: water flows in through the front nostril and out through the back one, but there is no connection whatsoever to the throat. In other words, fish can smell with their nose, but not breathe.

We tetrapods may have only one external nostril on each side of our head, but we do have an inner nostril or “choana” that opens on the palate or in the throat. This is what makes it possible for us to breathe through our nose. But how did this inner nostril evolve? One thing all scientists agree about is that the front nostril in fish corresponds to our single outer nostril: the question is whether the back nostril was transformed into our choana by “migrating” to the palate, or whether the choana is a new opening that arose with tetrapods.

The answer to that question is of importance to a greater issue, namely, how large-scale evolution actually functions. This is the part of evolution that is perhaps most difficult to understand. Its easy for us to imagine how evolution deals with small steps, like developing a blue tit and a great titmouse from a common ancestor (this merely involves small details in plumage and size), but how does a nostril move from the face to the palate? Some scientists have claimed that it is impossible for an outer nostril to gradually migrate to the palate, since a “cord” of nerves and blood vessels runs just inside the row of teeth that the nostril would have to sever during its migration. The “cord” is in evidence both in fish and tetrapods, so it appears that nothing has happened to it during our evolution.

In a pinch like this, it is natural to turn to fossils to see what they can tell us, but thus far it hasnt been of much use. Among fossil “coelacanth” fish, which are the closest relatives of tetrapods, some forms have two outer nostrils but no choana, just like modern fish. Other fossil coelacanths, which are even closer to tetrapods, already have a single outer nostril per side and a fully developed choana. In other words, the fossils show that the choana emerged just before our ancestors crawled up onto land, but they tell us nothing about how the choana came to be formed.

Now two researchers, Per Ahlberg from the Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology, Uppsala University, and Zhu Min from the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology in Beijing, China, are able to present a unique fossil that clarifies once and for all how our inner nostril came into being. Their results are being published this week in the internationally respected scientific journal Nature.

The fossil is a small coelacanth fish, Kenichthys campbelli, which comes from China and is roughly 400 million years old. The scientists have found skulls of several individuals: some of the bones have fallen apart, but they are so well preserved that it is possible to see exactly how they fit together. Judging from their features, Kenichthys belongs in our ancestral tree between the fossil coelacanths who have no choana and those that have this inner nostril.

Kenichthys has a back nostril that is located right on the lip, separating the two-toothed upper jawbones, the maxillan and the premaxillan. (It is as if we were to have a nostril in a gap between our front teeth and our canine teeth.) In other words, it constitutes a perfect halfway point in the nostrils migration from the face to the palate, and moreover this halfway point is the precisely the one that some scientists have regarded as an anatomical impossibility. Unfortunately the “cord” of nerves and blood vessels has not been preserved in Kenichthys, but since it normally runs from the maxillan to the premaxillan, it must either have been cut off or relegated to another position. What was considered impossible was apparently possible after all.

At this stage we still don´t know how evolution managed to re-forge the contact between the maxillan and the premaxillan and re-establish the “cord” after the nostril had migrated past. Zhu and Ahlberg hope that future developmental biological research will be able to identify the molecular mechanisms that govern the formation of this section of the head. One thing is already apparent: there is a connection between the migration of the nostril in our ancestors and the rather common problem in human developmental biology that is termed “cleft jaw”.

During the development of the human fetus, the upper jaw is formed when two processes, which will form the maxillan and the premaxillan respectively, meet under the outer nostril and grow together. In this way they separate the outer nostril from the choana. If this coalescing process does not function, a so-called “cleft jaw” is formed, that is, a furrow that runs right up into the nasal sac. This “complicated” relationship between the upper jaw and the nasal sac does not exist in fish: after all, they have no nostril on the palate, so the upper jaw is quite simply formed below the nostrils without any problematic process of coalescence. It seems as if our complicated developmental process is a “memory” of how the back nostril made its way to the palate between the maxillan and the premaxillan, and then reconnoitered again behind it. Somewhat drastically it could be said that the intermediate form Kenichthys lived with a cleft jaw all its life. Thus a really old fossil fish can elucidate not only an important aspect of our early evolution but also the reasons behind one of the most common problems of human developmental biology.

[Tasuki_Civic]

Why in the fuck does every other thread and/or post you make lately have to do with RACE?! Holy SHIT this is ridiculous. You and your friends need to start looking at people as PEOPLE, not a color or smell.

haha i think you have things wrong with me as far as who i am. but your not worth my time to explain. but rather i would like to say is that i come in contact with it almost everyday. because of it i would like to discuss it sometimes. not that im bashing anyone ( as you think i am) but more of questioning. i would like to know things just as if it was a car. if i dont know i will ask. if i learn something i will share.

simple as that.

just lately i have been seeing it. and theres is nothing wrong with questioning. at this moment in time. you guys (IA) give me a different view of what people think about the world and everything in it as well. i learn from those who put out "stupid comments" as well as those that are meaningful and worth listenting to. thats how one learns and grows outside of books or just being visual. theres alot of things on IA besides me that brings up race and differentiality. without saying or word or speaking their mind wither its a joke or not.

its not just lately

and YOU can STFU

This girl sees EVERYTHING in only Black or White.

We should all throw some money together and buy her some COLOR enhancing lenses, so she can see that there are WAY MORE colors in the world besides just BLACK and WHITE.

Yeah I knew a fat girl in 8th grade that carried a bar of soup with here. She would go in the bathroom 3X a day to rub herself down with it. As if she was to broke to afford perfume or too lazy to take a shower.

Considering I'm not the only one telling you the same thing, seems like plenty others see the same thing. We see what you post. You like to post about Black this and White that. Everything to you is divided by colors first and everything else last.

anywhere....and well yea thats all i have been mainly around for the past several months. observing likes and dislikes, difference and similarities......

so youo guys are telling me its wrong for me to question things cuz if i do im a racsit person...please. thats crazy. i cant help at this moment in time that im around only black and white pple. when i go to parties its a mix of both and like maybe just maybe "one" of other races.

if i was around black pple and latinos ha i would do the same thing. now if i do that does that make me a racsist person? i just wonder about different ethnic groupse of all kinds. everyone is different and i aim to learn both sides instead of stickin to one or being in a crowd full of pple and i dont know how pple work and why.

i mean really. i sit at home all day or keep myself busy in other ways and i go out as well. so in the mean time( while im not workin and healing my body) i think about t hings that pple may not or talk about things other are scared to. i dont care and i dont mind. i like to learrn with out always reading a book. what better way than to ask. and the source at this moment that i can get a quick and easy response is from IA. well atleast from a respons frommany pple that are not one sided and it beats askin a person one by one how they feel about things i think about.

its not a bad thing to question and thats all i do. youo cant fault me for that. so lately it has crossed my mind how pple are in general. and how pple live and think.

at this moment im babysitting for this white lady. her kids are amazing to me. im so happy i am the one to do so. shes has trusted me with her house and kids and pets. its awsome to be somewhere where its not the norm for me. and to learn how this family lives and families ini this neighborhood. the littel girl is awsomoe and she asks so many questions about pple and ethic groups as well. some i could answer and others i didnt know the answer to that i would like to know as well.

basicly you guys are gettin on me cause i question black and white and i told you why.....so now you still think im a bad person for questioning?

lol i would understnad if i was bashin on white pple and was pro-black about everything. im not. go back in my posts and see. i only talk about what i experience, what i see, and what others tell me. i see nothing wrong with that. is no one interested in other cultures and why they are the way they are? instead of assuming what you see on TV and the radio and "he said she said"

mmm...

haha
