Everybody say we yawn because the brain lacks oxygen.But is it possible to get more oxygen to brain by yawning?I have experienced yawning while I'm running or doing exercise.

Whenever I'm reading and an emotion is described in the book, I have a habit of making the face that goes along with the emotion. Like, if a character is disgusted I'll make a disgusted face. I usually don't even know I'm doing it. I'll be sitting there making these bizarre faces and no one has any idea why. Anyway, I thought it was kind of funny, so I thought I'd ask..

I'm looking for two specific kinds of phobias.

One is the fear of looking up into the sky (either head tilted fully up or lying down and staring straight up). The other is the fear of the hands severing from the body-- whether for a specific reason or not. I haven't been able to find the names for either of these.

Im not talking about communism. I wonder why some communist countries still have poor people. Is the system no working at all?

Am I suffering from it? If so, how do I overcome it?

I feel like I'm a perfectionist and it's getting on me nerves. Sure, it's nice to hand in neat and tidy projects, but it's holding me back. It takes me forever to even get itty bitty homework assignments done that perhaps require drawing. The other day, I had to do 5 simple drawings. It took me about 6-8 hours to complete on index cards while others took 30 minutes, hour max. My parents tell me to try and stop being so perfect on projects, but I can't really help it. Folding a piece of paper in half may take me a minute since I must perfectly crease it down the middle or it will bother me. In group projects, I unintentionally take over and it's like my way or the highway. I have a messy room and I would want to organize everything but I can't handle it, so it ends up being in a huge mess rather than organized (it'd have to be organized perfectly and just how I want it, otherwise I won't organize it at all, like a lost cause).

If human beings wore some sort of encasement that protected them from UV rays, germs, and violence, would that not create a better society? It would also stop racism as you would not be able to know the race of another person on the street or in the stores. The encasement would only come off at home with family or with people you have gotten to know with it on. It would be a great way to see how you chose your friends. You'd have nothing but the personality to go on. What do you think? Am I just nuts?
