to you though, but to me it was really great :lol:

 

Today I runned 10 kms to raise funds for a Disable kids organization (I don't know hw you put it in english, but are those that help people with disabilities, giving them treatment).

 

I had to have 10 sponsors and they would pay an $x amount of money for every kilometre that I runned, and I did the 10, which was the maximmun. I was paid one pound per kilometre (x10x20) and we were about 40 runners, so I had the greatest time.

 

What caled my atention was the sun. It was so hot (we are in summer, but regardless of that, the sun is never as strong as it was today) and I was wearing short pants and socks and now I have them marked in my skin (sun-burn) and well as my t-shirt. Anyway (3 paragraphas for a simple and single question) why does the skins gets dark after it -not my case really- when the colour is suppose to be determinate by your melamine -that's the name you give it to it in english?- what does the sun exactly does?

Tanning is your body’s attempt to protect itself from ultraviolet damage to your skin. Tanned skin can still burn if it is exposed to sunlight.

 

After your skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, it releases melanin from the melanocytes into the top layers of your skin. Up to 85% of ultraviolet radiation can pass through cloud, so your skin gets damaged even on cloudy days. Your skin type determines the amount of damage that occurs. Tanning is caused by ultraviolet damage to the skin, so it puts you at risk for skin cancer.

 

People with a tan may not seem to burn as easily as those without a tan. But a tan is a sign that the skin is already damaged. And you can still suffer sunburn even if you have a tan.

and I was wearing short pants

tell me more tell me more!

and what about those people that get tanned and then back to white? What happens with the melamine and the ultra-violet rays?

the melanin only effects the current layers and as new layers grow, they'll just get washed away as dead skin

ah, now you talk about cancer, I have always haved a question; what's the relation between nicotine and cancer? I know it's addictive, but I don't see whats the connection :/

there isnt...

 

nicotine wont cause cancer...its the other chemicals in cigarettes that cause the cancer...the only correlation is because people smoke more, they are more like to expose themselves to chemicals than can cause gene mutations that will inevitably lead to chance.

yeah they put alot of crap in ciggerates

literally

straight up tar, jet fuel, etc.
