Anonymous Unregistered	Have you ever thought of silly little things that don't have a name? Like what's the part of the pencil that comes off when you sharpen it? What's that called? How do they get the medicine inside capsules? How do they get the lotion in the Puffs? How do they get hairspray inside the can without it coming out? What's the difference between an eyebrow pencil and a crayon? Why does scotch tape come off a roll so easy but won't come off a package? How do calculators work? What are some more??????

Anonymous Unregistered	How do they get stripes on a peppermint stick? Or on Hershey Hugs? ...and how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? (and please don't say "the world may never know")

The parts of the pencil that come off when you are sharpening it are called "shavings". _________________________ Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.
