An Invisible Gorilla has won the Ig Nobel Prize.... and the validity of the claim that dropped food is safe to eat if it has been on the floor less than 5 seconds has also been tested.... and won an Health prize!! ![]() The Article at New Scientist The article also says that there were higher suicide rates in areas where Country Music was played on the radio... ![]() And they also think that fish may communicate by farting.... While most of the prizes sound silly, there is some real thought behind this stuff. But the 5 second rule one did make me giggle, as well as the fish one. ![]() Read the article, it's interesting ![]() |

But... food collects large amounts of debris when it first hits the ground, not over the five seconds after that... I am missing something here. Not that I bothered to read the article. |

I remember that Gorilla... I saw it the first time I looked on the video. Probably is related how I sometimes make a quick check around even if i'm very busy with something. ![]() About the five second rule... I don't follow that. I just take it up and see how dirty it is, either I just "clean it off" or I throw it. I'm not afraid of bacterias or something... hell getting some is good actually. (people being too clean tend to get allergic...) |

It's always been the 5 second rule here. Although to be fair, I use a 2 second rule. Trust me, you need to at schools. ![]() |

Well, here it's always been referred to as the 5 second rule. But personally, I don't tend to eat much that's hit the floor, unless it's done so in my own home.... floors here are pretty clean ![]() |
