Pink Lemons
The inimitable snopes.com, on their "Unanswerables" page, lists these two items one after the other:
- I just read a blurb that pre-packaged foods can cause people to turn gay because of too much estrogen. If I was only allowed one question for snopes, I would ask if this is true. Is it?
- Does the color pink really make a person feel weaker?
What they overlook here is the obvious answer: that pink light entering the eye causes the hypothalmus (or one of those glands) to put out estrogen, making a person gay, which in turn makes them feel weaker.
Duh. Now, this item came immediately before the two above, but I'm not yet clear on its connection to the other two:
- Does urinating on a lemon tree make it grow quicker/better?
