The ears and the nose never stop growing. Also, your body does shrink slowly as you get older, but the cartilage in your ears and nose does not.

the skin gets soggy and stretches.

Your ears and nose never stop growing. It will happen to all of us!

ears and the nose never stop growing.

Because your ears keep growing even when the rest of you stops.

they grow till end of days

Ears are the one part of your body that never stop growing.

oi! its cause i can't hear that well that my ears grow in sympathy.

There are two body parts that never stop growing, the nose and the ears. Older men have such huge ears because they don't stop growing like the rest of their bodies.

Have you ever seen Terry Wogans ears. They are like ear trumpets. He must have excellent hearing. Have a look next time he is on tv. They are huge......always have been. Dont know why they have big ears though!

because your ears and nose never stop growing.scary isn`t it.

It's because of the big glasses they wear, weighing their ears down.

Cause they no longer have a head full of hair to draw attention away from their ears.

Ears and nose are made from cartiledge, which keeps growing into old age, unlike bones.

Because your nose, and your ears are the only things that keep growing throughout your lifetime.

Oh.. and those wild eyebrow hairs too, lol

because their brains shrink as they get older there for their heads shrink lol

The ears continue to grow!
