An Earthly Venus

Aphrodite of Milos (Venus De Milo). Greek,  ~1130-100 BC
Will Rogers, an actor/cowboy/humourist/1920s+30s American celebrity, was with his niece when he saw the Venus De Milo. Will turned to his niece and said, "See what will happen if you don't stop biting your fingernails?"

That's funny, but this may seem even funnier. Obsessive nail biting, the kind that feels good when you're doing it, is actually a sign of Liver Qi Stagnation. The Liver is responsible for the sinews and the nails are considered part of the sinews. Without realizing it, the nail biter is trying to open up the Liver channels.
