Is that because of makeup?

It is impossible to lick your elbow (and most people will try to after reading this)
LOL I was totally going to use that one, read it in a email once, a list of stupid facts and of course I tried. When I got to the bottom of the list the very last thing was betcha tried to lick your elbow. I felt like a dumbass but it was funny, and no I couldn't lick my elbow. So far neither has anyone else I asked.
Anyways, I can however lick my nose. So far nobody else has been able to do that though many have tried.
Here's a really weird fact and I'm really trying to figure why scientists would even try it but birth control pills work on gorilla's. To control the raging gorilla population apparently.

"Women blink nearly twice as much as men"
Its a well known fact that you blink more when you are not telling the truth. It must be true...it was on Lie to me. Watch Clinton when he was asked about our Monica... watch his eyes, that man could have won the bronze silver and gold in eye blinking!

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver or purple.
This is actually not true.
"Over" rhymes with "silver", as do "rover", "hover", "clover" and many other words. It wouldn't have to end in "-ilver" to be considered a rhyme. The end of the words are what determines rhyme - it need not be a multisyllabic similarity.
"Purple" rhymes with "nipple" and "supple" and "staple".
"Month" rhymes with "millionth" and "billionth" and "x+n^1th"
"Orange" rhymes with "lozenge".

Watching the eyes can also give other clues as to the truthiness of what a person is saying. We all tend to look around as we think about what we want to say. When we lie, we tend to look to the left, and when we tell the truth, we tend to look to the right. Not foolproof, of course, but our eyes do give cues as to what is happening in our minds.

Not if you say, as almost everybody does, "one hundred and one".
That doesn't count!

Why is Charlie short for Charles when they both have 7 letters?

Why is Dick short for Robert and Bill for William. And if there's a person whose short or short and fat named Richard do you call em' chode?

I'm assuming this question was intended to be rhetorically funny, but you asked so I'll answer anyway. Charlie is a diminutive of Charles, which makes it a "smaller" form of the word, but not smaller in the sense of being shorter. A diminutive name is smaller in the sense of formality. "Marky" is a diminutive for "Mark" but is actually longer. "Davey" is just as long as "David" and "Frankie" is longer than "Frank."
The diminutive is colloquial, familiar, and affectionate. We tend to think of it as a "shorter" form, and in many languages the diminutive is formed by adding the suffix (maybe a prefix in some languages?) that means "little". It does not, however, mean that the word is shorter even if that frequently is the case.

yeah, but apparently some people blink more frequently than others.. I was just wondering if that was a reason
Active Ink Slinger
President Teddy Roosevelt died from an "infected tooth."
The reason that women blink nearly twice as much as men simply has to do with how our brain processes loud noises and being startled. When studies were done on male vs. female and gay vs. straight reactions. It showed that a loud noise followed by a soft one made a woman blink hard and numerous times and a man responded with a softer blink and only one time. It also showed that Lesbians tended to react as men did (With fewer, lesser, blinks) and gay men also showed the same general number as straight men and lesbians. Hope this helps you at all.

Dick is short for Richard. Bob is short for Robert.
That's what I meant but I was tired and typing fast so it got all jumbled up. So let me rephrase that question.
