Best Answer

The advert you are thinking of is this one,

Men wanted for Hazardous Journey. Low Wages. Bitter Cold. Long Hours of Complete Darkness. Safe Return Doubtful. Honour and Recognition in the Event of Success.

It was said to have appeared in The Times of London in early 1907.

Unfortunately, it is a myth, an urban legend. It never appeared in any newspaper. People have spent countless hours looking at the records of all newspapers of that time in the hope of finding it, as rewards have been posted for the first person to find it.

It has been attributed to Ernest Shackleton, but no record exists of him placing such an advert.

Why would collagen and elastin added to skin creams be unlikely to penetrate the skin as some advertisement imply they do?

The molecules of collagen and elastin are unlikely to penetrate the skin because they are too big and the skin is too hard. Some advertisements can imply that these products work because they will make the skin tighter but only for a short period of time.

Be cautious about any Stardoll accounts claiming to be celebrities. It is very unlikely that celebrities have public Stardoll accounts, so any account claiming to be a celebrity is probably only pretending to be a celebrity on a fake account.WikiAnswers does not disclose personal information about people, famous or non-famous alike, due to privacy regulations and WikiAnswers policies.


Why does Downloading close explorer 7?

There are so many possibilities dealing with this problem. It could be a software preference, though that is unlikely, so I suspect it was probably that the downloaded file required that Internet Explorer 7 be closed. I constantly recommend Firefox over Internet Explorer 7 and any other web browser as it has much more features, options, and is more secure.
