Bodily Business

Being the, well, I can’t quite think of a word for it, but being the person that I am, I’ve found myself recently wondering about eye boogers. Where do they come from, what are they (obviously some sort of protein-like secretion), why do they form, why do they get all long and stringy and springy if you stretch them out and dry them carefully by blowing on them…

Ahem. Anyway, I decided to hit Google, as per my usual practise when I want to know more about topics I know nothing about, and found that the Internet has a great dearth of information about eye boogers. The best site I found also happened to be the funniest by a long shot. The eye booger bit is about 2/3 of the way down the page.

Whilst I’m on the subject, I probably ought to mention what I fondly refer to as the Internet Nose Hair Site. I got really bored one day about a year ago and started searching Google for random things, and “nose hair” was one of them. That site is the first hit on Google when you search for “nose hair.”

And since I’m talking about it, “Weasel Eye Boogers” would be a great name for a rock band.
