That woodpeckers don’t get headaches. Did a control group of forceful peckers self report?
People headaches: “Wow, this tension headache is killin’ me! I wonder if chewing on that willow tree over yonder would help?”
I’d like to see evidence that “most people” do this.
My instinctive reaction has always been to turn the wheel counterclockwise (into the spin) in such circumstances. There is no period of deliberation involved, just "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!:
You’ve totally lost me here - the above describes what you should do. I’ve always heard that as “turn into the skid”, and to me that has always come naturally, but I thought the point of the advice was most people are naturally inclined to turn the other way, so they need to be told this.
I think that the way this came about was that the smallest guy in the tribe carried a piece of fish about, saying, “These are so yummy!” until a big guy takes it from him.
If the big guy drops dead, the little guy marks that piece off on his list, and begins carrying the next one about, declaring how yummy it is. He ended up with a list of what parts of the fish can be eaten in privacy.
Probably calculated by the body weight of some poor bastard who spilled some on himself.
This reminds me of a Daniel Tosh bit where he wants to write Snapple facts that are true, but ridiculous.
“Babies aren’t dishwasher safe”.
How would a baby damage a dishwasher?
That’s easy. I grew up eating the American version (not quite as deadly, but poisonous). People would catch them and toss the liver (where the poison is); it’s perfectly fine. But one day someone ate the liver and his survivors noted the problem.
You want blood, poop and guts all over your dishes?
:dubious:
