The mindless troll has found a compadre. If you don't like
technology, ass, don't use it. Sure as Hell don't bother those of us
who are the high priests of it. We are busy creating the future you
so abhor - including smoother, softer, silkier, drier armpits for our
ladies. You got a problem with that, bub? Go marry a European if you
can stand the smell.


Interesting little piece of research came up the other day.
There are two statistically significant links concerning breast cancer
:
1) Right handed people tend to get them on the left breast and vice
versa.
2) The UK, which uses more underarm deodorant than other European
countries ( as in most things, we Brits seem to be mid Atlantic ) has
higher breast cancer rates than other european countries.

The researchers posit that the aluminium or zirconium oxides in
deodorants may be causing the cancers......and the right / left part
is becasue a right handed person will naturally aply more doedorant
using their right hand....to hte left side of the body. ( Rather like
men nearly always have shorter sideburns on the other side of their
face from their handedness ).

I don't say it's true, probably simply a result of data dredging. Yet
interesting nonetheless....smell or surgery ?

Do something naughty to physics.

Uncle Al says, "The inevitability of scientific socialism is queued up
with controlled thermonuclear fusion, christ's return, and honest
government."
