    The correct answer is the Vagus nerve but this nerve has many branches,
    The auricular branch of the vagus nerve is often termed the Alderman's nerve or Arnold's nerve. The name vagus means wandering from the latin. The auricular branch Traversing the substance of the temporal bone, it crosses the facial canal about 4 mm. above the stylomastoid foramen ( temporal bone), and here it gives off an ascending branch which joins the facial nerve.

    Can anyone tell me why so many people never understand why we love our dogs so much and sometimes treat us like demented kids when we try to explain?
    I have a Theory... I think that people who don't understand the love we have for our pets are people who have never bonded with anything or anybody in their life. This probably includes parents and siblings as well. This same person would deny you and your pets existence if you walked past them on the street. In fact they will will look the other way.

    Why do your joint or muscle pains get worst when there is a weather change,
    or rainy.

    Courtesy is taught or not taught by parents. In my generate which dates back
    before the "post war derelict darlings" arrived, courtesy, at least in the south, was taught by the parents. If the parent didn't correct for the problem the school or other parent stepped up. This was before you got arrested or sued for taking control of a derelict kid. Parents today are to busy with work or social life to be troubled with doing anything even socially with their offspring. Parents today depend on the computer, video game or mall to raise their kids. IMO

    Why do they call the "funny Bone" the Funny Bone". It's not funny when you
    hit it

    Because the mountains/clouds just keep on going and going....clouds are usually always there and mountains go for miles and miles and miles..and so I guess when you're driving and you look up or to the side it just looks as if they're following you cause the scenery kinda looks the same at all times...


    Why do they drive on the wrong side of the road in Australia?
    *Some people come into your life and quickly go, but some leave footprints on your heart and you are never the same*
    *We only fall so we can learn to pick ourselves back up*
    *Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take but by those that take our breath away*
    *Life is made of millions of moments, but we live only one of these at a time. As we begin to change this moment we begin to change our lives*

    It's not the wrong side for them. They probably think "why do they drive on the wrong side of the road in the U.S.?

    You're right it is a pun, but not because of Funny to you or others.

    The ulnar nerve at the distal end of the humerus near the elbow is sometimes referred to in popular culture as 'the funny bone'. When the ulnar nerve is pinch between the humerus bone and an object it has that shocking feeling.

    This name is thought to be a pun, based on the sound resemblance between the words "humerus" and "humorous"
