"This Old man, he played one
He played nick nack on my thumb
with a nick nack, Paddy wack
give a dog a bone,
this old man came
rolling home"

I didn't know it even had so many verses!!!

now that we've covered this...

what is the purpose of eye brows? I was just thinking.. what a funny concept eyebrows are!

Re: I was just thinking that!

Humans have eyebrows because in the time of the Neanderthal/primitive man, they kept the dust out of our eyes. Over time, we have evolved to not have such massive foreheads and as such not require such massive eyebrows.

do you think.. over the years humans will evolve to have no eye brows at all!... women will have no leg hair because they shave it all off?
