Picking your nose and eating it may be good for you

Despite everything you may have heard from your mom, picking your nose and eating what you find may have some health benefits, according to a biochemistry professor at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

"By consuming those pathogens caught within the mucus, could that be a way to teach your immune system about what it's surrounded with?" is the hypothesis Scott Napper posed to his students.

    'I've got two beautiful daughters and they spend an amazing amount of time with their fingers up their nose.'?Scott Napper, biochemistry professor

Napper noted that snot has a sugary taste and that may be a signal to the body to consume it and derive information for the immune system.

Who was the mysterious man wearing a big bear head during last Wednesday?s Sting show?
http://blogs.citypaper.com/noise/index.php/2013/06/who-was-the-mysterious-man-wearing-a-big-bear-head-during-last-wednesdays-sting-show/

During last Wednesday?s Sting concert at Pier Six Concert Pavilion, a man wearing a gigantic bear head got on stage a minute and twenty seconds into a performance of The Police song ?Next to You? and started shaking his head, waving his hands in the air, and dancing about the stage.

A YouTube video of the performance shows a clearly confused Sting giving a puzzled look over his shoulder as the man continued to shimmy around the bassist and pointing his thumb back toward the bear-man while mouthing the words, ?Who?s that??

The video, which you can see below, shows the man wearing the bear head dancing with various members of Sting?s backing band for about a minute and generally having what appears to be a pretty good time. There is no footage of what happened to the man wearing the bear head or when he left (or was escorted off) the stage. City Paper is seeking information regarding the identity of the man with the bear head. All tips can be sent to editorial@citypaper.com.
