I've gotta ask.Ever wonder what those two lines are called that attach your lips to your nose? You know what I'm talking about.The little groove that we all have. Is there a name for it? And even more importantly...Why am I asking?

You asked, so I investigated. I kind of like what I found.
"The space between the nose and mouth is called the philtrum (sometimes spelt philtrim). The central depression under your nose is called the philtral dimple, and the ridges are called philtral columns. The word is Greek in origin and means “magic potion”. An old wives’ tale has it that the philtrum is a mark left by an angel’s finger at the moment of a baby’s birth. Or so they say."
