Elmofongo: So you have never been in a Tropical Island? Or any climate similar to it? (Say California, Florida, or even Spain which looks pretty warm of a country)
Well on holidays I've been to tropical countries and I know what "HOT" weather means.
But to be honest it took me a lot of time to realise that you can indeed get a common "cold" in a warm country. Actually it's rather common there as well.
As I said, last time I was on holiday in a tropical country ;-)
I got a cold (bloody air con in those malls) and I used - quite successfully - ibuprofen and paracetamol pills.

In cold Germany you use these against headaches, painkillers and the likes...

The whole, "Getting Sick because of cold temperatures" is a myth. I have more chance of getting a cold by touching a public staircase handrail and than putting that same hand on your face than being under cold temperatures.

Besides because its for the most part hot here I have to turn on the air conditioner everytime I sleep.

An LP a day keeps the MP3s away, I always say.
Posted February 14, 2015
Mp3s never stood a chance against anyone who actually cared to listen.

Many hands make light work but too many cooks spoil the broth.


btw ginger and honey will work far better than any silly off the shelf shit for colds.

Sure thing, the myth is actually in it's name: "COMMON COLD" The problem is that the different temperature makes things worse. You need bacteria/viruses at first then you need a weakened Immune system.

Now guess what weakens the immune system if you are not used to it?
Yup, quickly changing temperature levels for example.
But this is just one cause...

Who needs a doctor anyway, since we are so SMART... YAY US... \Sarcasm

Khadgar42: This is bullshit,
Wanted to eat an apple, but I just cut myself with the knife I was removing the seeds with. Now I'm going to catch tetanus, ebola and cancer whithering away in a couple of fleeting moments of the agonizing life I have left...

mrkgnao: I believe you yourself have proven the saying. You just left off the last step.
You "Wanted to eat an apple, but I just cut myself with the knife I was removing the seeds with. Now I'm going to catch tetanus, ebola".
Now, ebola is rather contagious, so any wise doctor is certain to keep away from you.
QED.
ebola isn't very contagious

Do someone knows where !i can find the guy who coined the sentence "Une de perdue, dix de retrouvées" / "You lose one, you'll find ten" that people throw at you when you just got dumped by the woman you love?

Because I want to hit his face with a sledgehammer. Repeatedly.

Hehe, stands along with 'there are plenty of other fish in the sea'

You wash apple well and eat it with your bare teeth, son. Without peeling. The doctor it is supposed to keep away is the worst of them all; DENTIST!

Seeing as it's a silly thread...

At work, we have an orange that is about 6 years old. You would expect it would be some kind of rotten mess, but it's not. Instead it just shrank, shrivelled, and condensed. We think it was because the air conditioning keeps the office so sterile that it doesn't ever give rotting a chance to kick in. It makes me wonder if they'd noticed if I died at my desk.

It's now just a small ball, about twice the size of a squash ball. One colleague commented that if we ever cracked that thing open we'd probably kill the human race.

I can hear the Doctors are already laughing manically as they are getting rich on the expense of my healthcare insurance...

While I'm doing so, enlighten me with other phrases or figures of speech that you find bullshit so that I don't die in vain.

Thanks in advance, I'm going to enjoy the rest of my apple now...
I never use knifes, I tend to just eat it directly and stop at the core... :P

Although I DO bite my cheek on the odd occasion... especially when it's swollen a bit.
