    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-=| The Color of Your Tongue is a Clue to Your Health |=-
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    True! That's how the old "Stick out your tongue  and say ah! came
    about.

-=| Your Heart Skips a Beat When You Sneeze |=-
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Well, kinda.  A sneeze  produces a sudden  pressure change inside
    the body that may momentarily  change the hearts rhythm.  The re-
    sult,  you ask?  A harmless delay  between one  heartbeat and the 
    next.

-=| Your Nose and Ears Keep Growing |=-
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    No, thank goodness.  Noses stop by the time we reach  puberty and
    ears are often done growing by the time we are age eight.   Later
    in life, gravity's pull on age-weakened tissues may make earlobes
    appear a little like Dumbo.

-=| Someone With a Temperature Above 98.6 F. is Sick |=-
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Not necessarily. In 1992,  researchers  took the  temperatures of
    148 healthy men and women one to four times a day over three days
    and  found that "normal" temperatures ranged from 96.0 F. to 99.9
    F.

-=| Your Height Affects Your Heart Attack Risk |=-
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Apparently so. Taller is better, though it is not yet clearly un-
    derstood why.

-=| We're Relaxed When We're Sleeping |=-
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Not hardly! The old bod cranks into high gear during dreaming, or
    (REM) rapid eye movement. (Shades of Freddy Krueger!)  This phase
    is  thought to take  up about 20% of our  sleep  time.  The heart
    beats  faster, blood pressure soars and the output  of adrenaline
    dramatically increases.

-=| Soft Drinks Can Soften Your Bones |=-
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Yes, but not if you watch  your diet.  Cola  drinks  contain  the
    flavoring phosphoric acid.  If you're a cola junkie,  you may get
    so  much  phosphorus that you upset your  body's calcium balance,
    causing an increased amount to be excreted in your urine.

-=| People Tend to Die Near Their Birthdays |=-
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Generally true .... whoa - huh? Studies show that people are more
    likely to die in the week starting  on their birthday than during
    any other week of the year.  Gives a whole new meaning to getting
    something for your birthday!
