Engineers have long been trying to come up with a synthetic polymer that is flexible, waterproof, conductive, heals itself, and is sensitive to touch, all outside the carefully calibrated set-up of a lab. Just like our skin.
Bacteria found in dirt is known to keep skin healthy, so why do we scrub clean to kill it? Even if we give up some of our hygiene practices, dentists say we still need to brush our teeth!
The role players populating Plimoth Plantation are amazingly skilled. They can answer even the most fussy questions about what life is like in 17th century New England, but you'll stump them if you ask what they do for fun.

The ski cross is a mad dash over clifflike jumps, around hairpin turns, through gullies and down steep slopes. Four racers fly down the course together, jostling for position at highway speeds.

Ever get to grips with a problem? Pick up a new skill? Grasp a difficult concept? These phrases all hint at the fact that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if lessons involve the body as well as the mind.
Aerial skiing is inherently dangerous. Skiers bomb down a ramp at 40+ miles an hour, launch 50 feet into the air, and perform multiple flips and twists before landing on a steep slope.
