The human disease kuru, which is caused by a filterable particle, is found in the Fore speaking people of New Guinea. The disease is perpetuated through the practice of cannibalism. These people eat the bodies of their own dead. Because only the women and children eat the brains, kuru is usually not found in the adult male population. Kuru has a slow onset and is manifested by cerebellar signs and shaking ataxia. Death occurs with 18 to 24 months. Kuru is also known as "The Laughing Disease".

NO ONE WROTE IN!!!!
Guess what? They're all right. So, instead of awarding points to the NO ONE who wrote in, I'll try a different tactic: If you can find the articles where I picked up this info, send me the link and I'll give points to the one that's closest to where I found it. If not, TTHHHHHBBPPPT. Try again next time.

A Rock and Roll Prove Me Wrong:

1. Ed McBain wrote "Fuzz" in 1968. The 87th Precint novel was filmed starring Burt Reynolds, Raquel Welch and Yul Brynner in 1972. Later, a young woman ran out of gas in Roxbury, MA. Walking back to her car from a gas station she was set upon by a gang of black youths who doused her with the contents of the can she had just filled and set her ablaze.
According to reports, they had seen this done the week before when "Fuzz" was shown on the ABC Movie of the Week.
2. In 1981, John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate President Reagan to impress Jodie Foster. His inspiration was "taxi Driver", starring Robert DeNiro.
3. In 1984 Farrah Fawcett was in a TV movie about wife abuse called "The Burning Bed". The same night as the broadcast, a husband set his wife's bed on fire to settle a personal score.
4. In 1977 Gary Gilmore died in front of a Utah firing squad, the first man executed since the US Supreme Court had earlier struck down existing death penalty laws. Norman Mailer wrote about him in The Executioner's Song. Gilmore had once persuaded his girlfriend to join him in a suicide attempt. His inspiration was "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. "I'm almost glad it wasn't "Godzilla' by the same band.)

Bastardized Heathen made a good point, for half a point. While conventional ovens cannot reach 600-800 degrees centigrade, this is also probably why most manufacturers don't worry about people dying when they start to heat up a teflon pan. Why the fuck would you put a teflon pan in the oven in the first place?
But yeah, that's about as close as any to finding a flaw for the last PMW.
And for those of yall that wrote about loving the pans, I feel ya. I don't know what I'd do without some nonstick in my life.

Teflon is a trafemark for polytetraflouroethylene. It is a polythylene plastic in which all the hydrogens have been replaced with flourine. It is a solid and ususually inert.
However, if Teflon is heated between 600 and 800 degrees centigrade, it depolymerizes inyo perflouro-isobutylene, a highly toxic gas.

The three types are Lanugo, Vellus, and Terminal, IF you're looking at follicle size. The debatable question was, HOW MANY TYPES?
So here they are:
Eyebrow/Eyelash
Scalp
Beard/Moustache
Body
Pubic
Peri-Anal
So some points were awarded, but technically the descriptions differ from list to list. Forensically, those are the answers. As for Peri-Anal hairs....UCKA! Who looks THERE for clues?

Here we go, with another science whammy:

SUlphuric acid will completely destroy a human body.
THough flesh is composed of fats, proteins, and minerals, its single major component is water. In concentrated form sulphuric acid is a highly corrosive liquid which acts by extracting water from body tissues. This process generates terrific heat.
Sulphuric acid (H2SO4), also dissolves the minerals and protein components of humans into water-soluble elements, thus destroying hair, muscle, bone, and skin. The parts of the body that are left exposed to air will be charred as if burned, but a body completely immersed will totally break down in a matter of days.
Fats, however, though altered, are not rendered soluble by the action of the acid. They remain behind as a greasy sludge.

There ya go kids. Prove Me Wrong.

Okay, here's Last Week's and in a day or so I'll post this week's:

Human Hair is divided into six types: head, eyebrow/ eyelash, beard/moustache, body, pubic, and axillary underarm. Head hairs are circular in section and if they have been neglected, split at the ends. A freshly cut hair is square at the tip. Pubic hairs are oval or triangular and tend to curl. They are less deeply rooted than those on the head. Female pubic hair is shorter and coarser than that of the male.

Okay kids, Prove Me Wrong.
See ya later.
