Chocolate mousse leads to dinner embarrassment A reader writes: "I was having dinner with a glamorous friend. She was eating dark chocolate mousse for dessert. I noticed that somehow a little piece had escaped and somehow landed on her neck. I saidsomething like, 'Oh a bit of mousse has gotten away, allow me'. I leaned forward and tried to pluck it away, as it was a blob more than a smear. Suddenly she yelped and I realised to my mortal shame that it was actually a bobbly mole on her neck which I was holding between thumb and forefinger. She had the good grace to laugh it off."

Even when you're not sick, nostrils split the workload, with the majority of the air going in and out one nostril, and a much smaller amount passing through the other. Every few hours, your autonomic nervous system, which takes care of your heart rate, digestion and other things you don't consciously control, switches things up and your other nostril does all the heavy lifting for a little while.
