Iz do too (or bite them) but still.. that's the approx. speed they grow.

(well, I was looking for dents in nails.. or better put.. I was trying to find out why do my thumb nails get a little bit.. bumpy (or something) at times.. while they're ok or appear normal on other times.. ) (um, little white spots on nails is mainly caused by a Zinc shortage but why they get bumpy.. ) (?)

Yes, I meant horizontal bumps.. and injury can be a cause.. but there are more causes.. like hormonal changes, some sicknesses, others..

I've had this.. well, assumption really.. that needs questioning.. The assumption (or question thus) here is: Is there a correlation between getting bumpy thumb nails and mood phases? A bit wild maybe.. but when I've had a couple of serious depressions before the bumpiness of said nails were there too.. quite apparently or clearly there..

Well, been a bit 'on and off' depressed the last two months (not big time) and yeah.. the hor. dents/bumps are back.. 

Um, I have a loooong history of studying my (or other one's) hands and normally they're 'flat' (ok).. it just got me wondering a bit.. (not concluding anything yet though)

.. well, useless facts.. right?

*Hey, too  late.. edit.. Thanks for the links, Jack. (look 'into' them)

Yellow powder is a cheap and simple explosive, about 3 times more powerful than black powder. It was (probably) invented in the US in the early 19th century.

The composition is:
55% potassium nitrate
27% potassium carbonate
18% sulfur

The only disadvantage is that it's useless for practical purposes, since it won't explode from a fuse or even from a blasting cap. It only explodes when the composition is heated.  :facepalm2:

Austria annexed Bukovina from Moldavia in 1775 just to get access to a road between Transylvania and Galicia, the latter annexed from Poland in 1772.

Sulfuric acid is called svavelsyra in Swedish, though in my local dialect people used to call it betrell, which means "bitter fire".  :viking:

I really love 'Kaiser' rolls and this is a picture of two with sesame seeds on them.

Oh, but.. sesame seeds on a kaiser roll are optional.
