Cause at 15 I tried it. I went to the park with a pound of rice and fed the birds. There was a fountain there and many of them drank after eating alot of uncooked rice. I waited for the explosion. Nothing happened that day. I went back the next day -- it was summer and I had nothing to do -- not dead birds anywhere in the park. Case closed. I never believe the rice and birds thingy . . . why?

It depends on your specific body. The water's ability to distort your body's perception of gravity might influence you too. And puking in the pool is a lot worse than puking on the track. The myth is: "If you eat something, and don't wait thirty minutes to go swimming, you'll get a cramp." I never heard anyone say you'd die. And this "myth" is a slightly inaccurate, imprecise statement. It applies to a lot of people. Depends on your body. Brushing your hair is healthy. Period. Like everything else that is healthy, it can be overdone. And God is an alien council. They are not all-powerful. They put the tree in the garden to see if Adam and Eve would blindly obey them. They didn't. It wasn't a snake that told them to do it, it was their own curiosity (figurative snake?). Just kidding. It's a theory though, and more complete with less holes than most.

When they first get their facial hair, it's thin and soft. Once they shave it, it comes back thicker and more brittle. I had a friend back in my high school years who refused to shave, even after he started growing facial hair. It was very soft, thin, light-colored, and ugly-looking. We eventually pinned him down and shaved it off for him. *evil grin* Finally, it grew in normal-looking, dark, and thick.

You see, the taking of the fruit and the whole bible is only a symbolic chronology. I would argue that to reach for the fruit is in our nature, the essence of desire is rooted in the knowledge that you do not have what you cannot touch and what you cannot touch that is alluring and unreachable, you must touch. Even if it takes an eternity. The fruit and adam and eve are the mutation of higher-consciousness and the eventuality of many paths of evolution converging on a significant threshold at which functional patterns in behavioral morphology within the context of the species began to act autonomously from the influence of genetic inflection.

Even though your brain dead and stop breathing, most of your cells in your body are still living, which means if hair cells are still working, your hair is still growing.
