physical contact from things that can damage the skin make us itch to try to get rid of what caused it. Other kind is when your skin produces something called histamine when your skin makes a lot you itch.

Should have included itching. I still don't know the science behind that.

Aww... Yawning still hasn't been explained to me.

Ah, well. This was pretty interesting. I didn't even ever think to question the existence of eyebrows...

I hate that falling feeling & I'm also terrified of heights so you can only imagine how it feels for me!

If you cut out the gland on the bottom of an onion, (The part where the roots grew), first then rinse it in cold water it won't be harsh.

#6 Chopping an Onion.
Goggles won't help you. The problem isn't onion juice squirting into your eye, it's just touching the onion. You'd be better off putting the onion in a plastic bag while cutting it instead of holding it directly.

"I love the falling sensation, I usually puke right after it wakes me up though."

Wow... your room must smell really nice.
The falling sensation doesn't really ever happen to me while I'm just falling asleep. only when I fall in my dreams, it usually also provides a nice air rushing sound. (I think it might be my blood being pumped so hard I can hear it.)

For #2 I can actually crack my knuckles at will as I please. Glad I know I'm not in too much trouble. Though I only do it now to freak people out.
