Friday Fact 5 June 2009

 

Start planning for the long weekend - it's Friday!

Did you know that obsessive nose picking is called rhinotillexomania?

From Wikipedia: Nose picking

Nose-picking can become medical issue if it becomes a body-focused repetitive behavior or obsessive compulsive disorder, at which point the accepted medical term is rhinotillexomania (etymology: Greek, rhino "nose" + tillexis "habit of picking" + mania). Most cases do not meet this pathological threshold.

 

Searching for "nose picking" on Google Image Search isn't as fun as you think it is. I don't recommend it.
