And science has discovered the real location of your memory. No, it is not in your brain. After exhaustive research, they concluded it is in your posterior. Offered as proof is that when you stand up to do something, you forget what it was you were going to do. When you sit down, you remember what it was you were going to do when you stood up.

1. Swimming right after eating could cause cramps and lead to drowning;
2. Tuberculosis should be treated by exposing patients to plenty of sunshine;
3. The best treatment for burns is to spread butter or other oil on the burn;
4. The cure for stomach ulcers is to avoid stress and many foods;
5. Homosexuality in males is caused by the way their mothers nurtured them; and
6. The common cold and some other diseases can be caused by exposure to cold;Some of the studies in the article were fairly obvious but the researchers were able to provide actual numbers which made the information useful.
What matters is not the years in one's life but the life in one's years.

)

No, no, no!! Don't put butter on a burn - it holds the heat in and causes more damage. Put cold water or ice on the burn to cool it down. I've done that "hot glass" trick too. Many years ago when I was a lab tech I grabbed a very, very hot test tube and burned all my fingers very badly.

Are you sure you weren't living in Paris at the time?
Anyway, after cooling the burn with cold water, the lab's nurse did put an oily salve on it, and it eased the pain considerably.

A survey of 860 college students discovered - brace yourself - that men are more likely than women to report having had casual sex, and they express a greater desire for it than do women.
ummm then who are they having sex with?

Perhaps it was't the oily part of the salve but the steroids and topical anesthetic it contained that provided the relief?
Or perhaps it was psychological, from the tender ministrations of the "nurse".
