Just some thoughts on your points 1.Most lipstick contains stuff that you wouldn’t see in horror films
2.Chocolate affects a dog, yes this is how they throw races in Shelbourne park
3.Leonardo Da Vinci was trying to capture the moment of spiritual enlightenment on her face the focal point
4.Celery has negative calories! this is not true, no food have negative calories it just wouldn’t be food otherwise
5.It is physically impossibe for a human to lick their own elbow, what if your arm falls off, you could lick it then
6.A tiny amount of liquor? which American site did you copy these from anyway?

Hi Phily
Just some thoughts on your comment…
1.What kind of lipsticks do you know with unusual ingredients?
2.Da Vinci may have been trying to capture the moment of spiritual enlightenment but personally I thought he could have done better portraying emotional expression with facial movement in my opinion hers is not the most beautiful smile ever seen,my mother’s is better, dont you agree?
3.Im afraid I’ll have to correct you P.H. C elery does in fact have negative calories. When I say nagative calorie food, I mean foods which contain so little energy that the body actually uses more energy to digest and absorb the nutrients. So if you subtract calories you’ll burn from the calories you eat, the result will be negative.
4.Don’t suppose you could lick your elbow if your arms fell off…what would you lift it to your mouth with?
5.I copy my material from different websites.I scan various websites for the most interesting facts,post them on my page,add my own pictures and of course my own personal comedy in the brackets.
If i had a hammer a hammer in the morning
1) I only use the dodgy ones
2) He wasn’t trying to portray emotional expression with facial movement, but you could be right on the second point
3)http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_it_true_that_celery_has_negative_calories says it a myth and your point did not state your more accurate explanation above
4) With my other arm of course
5) Yes websites like http://factcheck.gullible.info/discussion/248/they-say-animals-can-smell-fear/ gullible info indeed
Hi pH
1)dodgy ones?..judging from your pic I thought you were more of a Rimmel man….i must be mistaken
2)In my opinion facial movement is the focal point for emotional expression,in this case being as you said “spiritual enlightenment”. An artist portrays people’s feelings/emotions through movent/gestures and most importantly facial expressions…if the figure sits with a blank look on their face an audience can only guess what message an artist is trying to portray.
3)From reading the info on your link it seemed to agree with my point I guess its just whatever paragraph you choose to believe. Also I thought people would understand my fact without a long boring explanation, personally i like to keep my posts short and sweet…i wouldn’t want to end up with a load of pages and pages of writing which would interest nobody!!!
5)Like I said before I research my facts from various websites then find the best explanation and post it…that website seemed most interesting…I think humour and interest are most important qualities in a blog dont you agree??
1) No really, do you think so?..hmm maybe i’ll try it
2) I find what you’ve got to say here very interesting indeed and i guess you could have a complete post on this one issue along and get plenty of reaction from people who would appreciate your intellect greatly
3) I disagree, I believe your pages of writing would be worthy and i wouldn’t discount anybodies content if it was well written, with Intelligence and original. Regardless of preconceptions about the topic
5)I agree, your interests are best served here in your comments and your humour is… feisty and sharp while mine could be best described as dry roasted ( extra dry and savory)
Emmy I think your blog is comming along just fine, if we could all have more of “you” on it I think you will have plenty of avid readers, I like your point of view best, please dont keep your posts “short and sweet” it would be a shame to waste talent.
Thank you for this open discourse. Please feel free to throw a comment at one of my 29 posts should you deem it worthy http://blogs.ballyfermot.ie/philiphickey
