Quote of the week: The only limits in one’s life are self imposed. Dr. Dennis Waitley

Question of the week: Does human hair grow faster in the summer or winter? Explain.

Medical term of the week: sepsis

Answer to last week's question of the week: What is the only bone in the human body that does not touch another bone? The hyoid bone is the only bone that does not touch another bone. Found above the larynx, it anchors the tongue muscles. It is also usually broken when a person is strangled or hanged, and therefore will often figure in trials concerning such crimes.
