Carpathius May 2015 4:06pm, 22 May 2015 6,628 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius Some of the bollocks that people share or link to on Facebook without engaging their brain. Today's example is someone who I actually thought was fairly intelligent linking to this livingtraditionally.com and the comments from people to say "Good idea, I'm going to start doing this". Lemons are not high in potassium, they do not 'alkalinize' your body, they cannot stop joint pain or cure cancer due to being 'highly alkaline' and water with lemon juice added will not do any of these other amazing things that website suggests - unless it's something that water does all by itself.

Then at the end they say lemons cure cancer cos they are alkaline. Sheesh, you'd think they'd get their pseudobunkumbollocks consistent at least :)]

Surrey Phil May 2015 10:50pm, 23 May 2015 885 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Why is it that when you press a button when out in public, such as at a pelican crossing or a lift, someone else comes along and presses it as well? The mechanism has responded to your request by lighting itself up, so why? Do people think that by another person doing the same, it will act quicker, or do they see the first person standing there and think that they're incapable of doing it properly?
