[net.origins] aquatic origins & flow patterns

This is just to clear up a point I made earlier.

	The flow pattern of human body hair that I referred to in my
first posting on the subject (I don't remember the number) was on the arms.
Hold them at your sides, palms toward the body.  Note that the hair on the
arms has a natural seeming part along the forward ridge.  This would be the
way water flowed as the arm was used for a dogpaddle or breaststroke swimming
technique.  The pattern is that dictated for the cruising/resting part of the
stroke.

Not that this is any sort of conclusive evidence, of course.
