Whywould someone advisethat what you need to cool down is a nice cup of tea? Andmust you reallylet red wine breathe first to improve its taste? It also covers why urinating on a jellyfish sting does not help, why cellphones won't give you cancer, and why recycling aluminum cans is nota waste of time.
