FreckleFilter: Just curious, really - I am a fair English lass, and therefore after a day in the sun I notice lots of freckles on my shoulders that have presumably appeared during the day. I am always amazed that they appear so quickly. My question is, if I constantly looked at my shoulders, would I see them popping up or do they appear gradually? And why little patches of pigment like that, anyway?

What is a firm but uninsulting answer to the myriad of possible questions and comments about one's "racial appearance"? Examples of such questions are:
"What race are you?"
"Are you mixed?" [Are you black, indian, mulatto, etc.]
"Your skin is so pretty! You have an ivory complexion! Do you have caucasian in you?"

Thanks for any help you can give me, because I've been searching for a good answer to this stuff for years!

Does anybody have a link to the site which displayed photos of people from different Asian nations and cultures - and the viewer is supposed to figure out which nation or culture, based on looks alone? I'm sure we've talked about it here, but I can't for the life of me find it.

What does buckminsterfullerene (a.k.a. "buckyballs") look like in macro? We see lots and lots of computer-generated images of the molecule itself, but how about an aggregation of the stuff in a test tube? Is it a black goo or something?
