to torment us - it's one of life's sickest jokes.
and lady above - yes, a man's nose DOES continue to grow, ever so slowly. It's a biological fact, look it up. So do his ears.

Where you come from they may but in my knack of the woods we don`t grow noses through life.
I am 52 and my nose has not grown any longer or wider since i was about 18-19. If this was the case then all old guys would have very long noses and get in the road when they eat.
But it could be that some have the Pinocchio effect going and if they stop lying they would not have this problem

It doesn't. The cartilage of fish, such as sharks, continue to grow throughout their life. Because the ears and nose are made of cartilage, many people believe the same concept would apply, but it doesn't for human growth. The main reason for the larger features is due to the shrinkage of the overall human body and gravity. The human body starts to shrink after the age of 30, on the average. Because of the cartilage nose and ears, they don't shrink but give in to gravity. The ears and nose both become elongated and droop. Thus, making them appear as if they are still growing.

Noses and ears continue growing throughout life - for both men and women.

Noses and ears stay the comparable length yet something individuals shrinks slightly with age as a effect making noses and ears seem better. Hair and fingernails proceed to strengthen for it sluggish while we die, this has given upward thrust to many 'vampire' or 'undead' memories.

It doesn't actually grow, it can drop though, like everything else does with gravity and time, the tip of the nose tends to become more bolbus in alot of older men because of collagen break down and gravity. Sorry.
