It takes about four thousand newtons of force to break a human femur. I don’t know the newtons-to-life bone-crushing conversion ratio. As in, how many headline news can a femur, or a sternum, or an ethmoid bone endure before it snaps, crackles, and pops. How many newtons of exasperation can a humerus go through before it fractures? Like chicken bones cracking into dog-murdering sharp splinters. Bird bones are actually heavier than mammals’, by the way. A snake may have more than eight hundred bones. We The People, just two hundred and six. Twenty-seven in a hand. The fear of hands is called CHIROPHOBIA. Fear of teeth is called DENTOPHOBIA. The realization that teeth are actually bones sticking out of our bodies doesn’t have a name that I’m aware of. Dreaming of teeth falling out is a symbol of feeling insecure, lacking confidence, or experiencing a loss of power in your waking life. Authority anxiety is the closest thing to a fear of power. The original Ultraman had four distinctive powers: Strength, Growth, Energy Projection, and Teleportation. Action figures are made from a variety of plastics, including THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE (TPU), HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE), POLYPROPYLENE (PP), and POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC). My friend used to melt his G.I. Joes into amorphous heroic blobs with Bic lighter flamethrowers. According to current research, microplastics can enter and accumulate within human bones, particularly in the bone marrow. Roasting is a simple and popular method for cooking bone marrow. To roast bone marrow, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the bone marrow on a baking sheet, cut side up, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the marrow is soft and bubbly. Seventy-two percent of Americans prefer to watch TV while eating. Being that there’s local news between six and seven on most regional networks, they probably start munching with the headlines. The anxiety caused by constant exposure to negative news stories is called HEADLINE STRESS DISORDER. The fear of plastic is called PLASTIPHOBIA. It would take less than four thousand newtons of stick and stones force to break a parietal bone, since it’s the most delicate section of the human skull. But names, they say, could never hurt you.
