A large percentage of the dust around your home is made up of old skin flakes, and when you consider that you lose about 50 million cells a day, that's not all that surprising.
You lose the entire outer layer of your skin in about two to four weeks, so it kind of makes sense that those cells end up somewhere – it's just a bit icky realising that it becomes the dust in your home. It's not all bad, though – researchers think the squalene in old skin cells might actually help to purify your air!

Brain surgery is done while the patient is semi awake, yes they are talking and doing things, but they don't remember the sedition they are giving is so they don't remember everything.
I should know I'm a surgical tech.

Melinda,
So, you're semi awake and rebelling against the government? lol I know it's just a typo and that you meant to type "sedation", but the thought of "sedition" that you don't remember was too funny to pass up! It's a shame that there's no way we can go back and change our errors. Heaven knows I'm made my share and then notice it when it's too late!

Percy, I swear that was a real error on my part and not done on purpose. I'm sure that some won't believe it, but I didn't notice that I typed "I'm" when I meant to type "I've" until it was too late. But, it does go to prove my point!
