Myth Busting!
Have you seen this show? MOTH turned me on to it, and I love it. It�s two grown up kids, geeks if you will, They do experiments to test myths, like can a bullet made of ice kill a person and then melt leaving no evidence? (No.) If you pee on the third rail, will you be electrocuted? (No, unless you are 3 inches away from it). Will you stay drier if you run rather than walk through rain? (No.)
This morning, I did some of my own mythbusting.
Myth #1: I don�t need to wear gloves when the wind chill is -20 degrees.
FALSE (and true). It would be OK for me not to wear gloves as long as I could keep my hands in my pockets, but situations can arise (see remaining myths). After 2 hours back in the warmth of my office, my fingertips were still burning.
Myth #2: Pouring � of an extra large coffee (cream only) over yourself and down your coat sleeve will keep you warm when the wind chill is -20 degrees.
FALSE. Actually it feels squicky, And it freezes, and it doesn�t just necessarily spill on you and your coat, but also all over the steering wheel and seat.
Myth #3: When you open up a car hood with coffee all over your hands and no gloves, and the wind chill is -20 degrees, your skin will stick to the car.
TRUE. Enough said. Think about A Christmas Story.
Myth #4: You can pour motor oil into a running car.
FALSE. Actually you CAN pour it in if you don�t mind the fact that it sprays all over the place. And I do mean ALL OVER the place!
Myth #5: A 5� 0� woman cannot hoist a 300 pound 15 year old off of a short bus when he decides �DON�T WANNA� get off.
FALSE. Don�t mess with me on a mythbusting day, my �Gentle Giant.�
Myth #6: When an eye-glass wearing female is slapped hard enough squarely in the middle of her face by an 18 year old mentally impaired male, a line of eye makeup will form against both lenses.
TRUE.
It�s 9:00. A.M. I don�t want to bust any more myths today, ok?
Won't you PLEASE leave your feedback here?
