Use this thread to post the dumbest things you've ever been told!
One of the dumbest things my mum told me is that being out in the rain can make you catch a cold, which I know isn't true because the common cold is caused by a virus, not by rain. ![[nlaugh] [nlaugh]](/images/smilies/emot_laugh.gif) |

It sorta can. The infection with the common cold is promoted when it is, well, too cold for you. The rain has a cooling effect.
So in some way there is a little truth in it 
1-2 days ago someone wanted to explain me how 8 * 9 = 720. That guy did not want to believe me that he made a mistake of factor ten for about 15 minutes or something XD

When I was young, my older sister had me convinced that parents buy babies at a store.

I like to pace a lot, and when I was 10 my sister told me that if I kept walking in the same direction that one leg would get really muscular while the other stayed skinny.
Ever since then I walk clockwise, then counter clockwise and just keep switching off like that until I'm done. I now know what she told me was a total load but habits are a hard thing to break. |
