Sure. Leather or synthetic materials will stretch over time.

Because you can't ever see your own elbow properly, except in a mirror, and even then it's backwards.

So you can see when your washing is dry without having to touch it. Ingenious invention, really (Russian, of course). How did people ever manage without?

Obviously your bathroom mirror loves you, and all the other mirrors are jealous that you have that one instead of them and try to make you feel bad.

Because, you see, your bathroom mirror sees you frequently and sees very few people. It has accumulated many images of you that are all reflected back at you and give you a more complete reflection of yourself than other mirrors do. After all, other mirrors only have fleeting glimpses of you and far too many glimpses of other people and thus reflect the accumulated images of many people along with your own reflection, making your image seem distorted. The best thing, really, is to use a new and un-looked-into mirror every time you want to see your reflection.

Does anyone know what the study of people's movement through a space is called? I mean like, you know how they can tell where people will run in a fire, or how people flow move through a new building? That. I tried 'crowd dynamics' but it didn't fly.
