69To shave or not to shave? That is the question. A fun subject.
by TotallyADD inwhen we moved up to pa back in late april the first thing i did when we got here was to grow a beard.
not a full face beard just around the mouth beard.
i love the look but my wife although she thinks i look good with it does make me look older because it is grey.

TotallyADD - at 57, haven't you gotten enough kisses yet? Time to live a little and rock the beard, man!
[Full disclosure: I keep my beard because my wife loves it, and because I look like a badass mofo with it]

The beautiful thing about the neard is that it can be incorporated into a whole-body look.

The beard is win. But kisses are good, too. Have you ever considered a neck beard, or "neard"?

In what chronological order do you believe our 5 basic senses evolved?
by sabastious inhere's my guess:.
1. touching.
2. hearing.

#6 - Seeing dead people
That evolved during the brief period of time when M Night Shyamalan made good movies.

**Badum-tish!**
Right on, Unshackled - senses developing concurrently is what I get from my casual research. Hearing and touch, for example, are both mechanical and could have started out together. Taste/smell are still closely linked in humans.

Ooh, here's a good article on the Pharyngula blog:
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/10/evolution_of_sensory_signaling.php
It talks about the different sensory types: chemoreceptors (sight, taste, smell) and mechanoreceptors (hearing, touch). Neat!

My best guess based on what I have read:
1. Smell/taste via chemical receptors. Even single-celled organisms can respond to chemical stimuli.
2. Touch. As multiple-celled organisms arose, so did the ability to 'bump' into things.
3. Hearing, first in the water as being able to sense vibrations, and later (after sight) in amphibians as being able to hear waves through the air.
4. Sight.
All of these senses can be observed in their 'primitive' - or little changed - and more 'advanced' current states in various organisms, from bacteria to eagles.

Oh, erm...yeah, I wasn't talking about an earthquake. Ever read "For Whom the Bell Tolls"?
Edit: glad you're ok, sd-7! Sounds like things were shaking pretty good down there.
