Chewing your fingernails can be an issue not only for how your hands look, but for your health, too. Your fingers may become infected, and your teeth may suffer damage. If you want to stop, it's best to address nail biting with a combination of "carrots" (positive rewards) and "sticks" (adverse consequences). For a "stick," you can paint your nails with bitter-tasting nail polish or another bad-tasting substance. You can also try wearing a rubber band around your wrist and snapping the rubber band whenever you're tempted to nibble your nails. As a "carrot," treat yourself to a massage, yoga, or other stress-reducing activities. Once you've succeeded in getting your nails healthy again, it should be easier to remember not to bite them.

If you think an alligator is the same as a crocodile, think again. It's true that the two types of animals are related, and they look similar. Yet although both are large reptiles with scales and webbed toes, and both live near water in tropical or semitropical areas, there are important differences between them. An alligator lives only in fresh water, while a crocodile can live in brackish, or somewhat salty, water. An alligator's snout is also wider and "U"-shaped, whereas a crocodile's is longer and "V"-shaped. Finally, their behavior differs: it's generally agreed that crocodiles are more aggressive than alligators.

Traveling from state to state, especially if you're in a car, you may notice that the price of gasoline varies widely. Many factors combine to determine the price that a gas station charges. Gasoline is refined from crude oil, so if the price of crude oil increases, then gasoline prices also rise. The price of gas also depends upon the tax that the individual state charges. The higher the taxes that are imposed on gasoline, the higher the total cost of gas becomes. In addition, during the summer, more people want to drive, so the demand for gas is higher. Higher demand pushes prices higher. In winter, when fewer people drive, lower demand sends prices lower.
