why are some c o c k s bent?

The erect penis holds its shape because a series of small chambers lining up along its length temporarily hold a supply of blood in much the same way that a sponge can soak up and hold a supply of water.  When some of those chambers are not perfectly symetric the penis will tend to favor the side that is less dense, ie the side that holds less blood and exerts less pressuse along the long axis of the shaft.  Why would one's penis be asymetric? Genetics, trauma, some sort of developmental problem, or infection.  In most cases it is a matter of genetics or development, depending which side of the whole nature vs. nurture debate you think applies to penises.

It's usually because CAPS LOCK is on.\n-MM

Because the weight applies a force to the spring.  F=-kx, so x = -F/k.  The great the force, the greater the stretch.  This is because many metals have memory and try to restore themselves to previous states.  If you bend it, the metal will try to bend back to where it was.

Because they are wierd.

it's the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, caused by the differing densities.\n\nA good example is standing in a pool and looking down into the water - notice how distorted your legs look

Hi,\nThis is to do with the bone structuring of your hand. When you bend your little finger, not only does it involve moving the bones in your little finger, but you'll notice that the bones in your main hand will move as well, especially further up towards the fingers, hence this causes the other fingers to move slightly as well.\n\nHowever, this isn't the full picture. It is also do with your brain signals sending messages to the muscles - but because the muscles control the bones in your hand they all move.\n\nI hope that helps!\n\nTom\nBiologist

Like you write it. the j tends to bend a bit to an h. Just ad some air so to speak.

Could be bad posture.

It has something to do with a mysterious underlying mathematical principle. Generally, functions are curved. Laws of nature obey simple mathematical formulas. When averaged together, round shapes are formed.

i had a guy once who was bent... 3 years later and it was still crooked lol, but it didnt stop him, tho he did say he wanted to die when it happened

because of diffraction.... and that light is not unidirectional and incoherent.....\n\nwhen light waves bend around an edge the waves interfere with each other and forms diffraction patterns... but these patterns can not be closely seen... not clear... or not as edgy as the obstacle like your hand or post...\n\nin this case, the edge of your hand and the edge of the post are edges, so when they are close, the 'kissing' of the shadows is the part of the pattern where light waves don't exactly meet the way they should...

You can find it using the general bending formula as related to torsion (twisting) rather than bending.\n\nT/j = G/Theta x L = Shear stess/Radius\n \nThe folowing link explains much better than I can.\n\nhttp://www.freestudy.co.uk/c105.htm

There are chemicals in the air and its just how the light might have been bent. There are tons of different atmospheric problems that could have caused that.

Seven creases result in a thickness that cannot be folded.\nIsn't it neat?

the cellulose fibers get bent in one direction.

Because light travels at different speeds when travelling through different materials, the light seems to bend.

because they are sticky
