Actually, you have two sets of sweat glands, appocrine and eccrine glands, one secretes water and salt and has none to very little odour....and the eccrine sweat gland releases water, salt and fat.....when the fat settles on your skin it is eaten by bacteria on your skin and it begins to decay and thus causes the horrible smell.

If a glass was perfectly clean there would be no bubbles in any drinks, even carbonated ones.

Bubbles are only present if the glass is dirty.

[DTRG]

Yesterday Texas A&M University scientists released the results of a
recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.

Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption.

The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain
phyto-estrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men were fed 8 pints of beer each within a 1
hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects:

1) Gained weight.
2) Talked excessively without making sense.
3) Became overly emotional.
4) Couldn't drive.
5) Failed to think rationally.
6) Argued over nothing.
7) Had to sit down while urinating.
8) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.

No further testing was considered necessary

Yes, due to friction... but if you wet a glass before pouring a drink into it the bubbles created are greatly minimused
