OK

I checked it out and the nose and ears growing continually is a fact as far as I can figure, found many sites that had conflicting info but all the more serious looking medical ones seemed to say yes they keep growing and things like wiki answers say they dont.

But the eyes, It would appear you were correct

It would have been 2 shiny new stars for you but I have to minus one for being wrong about the ears and nose
