Old wive's tail
Does anyone know for sure if you put a persons hand in warm water when they are sleeping if they will really pee the bed ? This one has been around forever but I've never heard for sure from anyone who ever tryed it if it does really work.

It might work with a kid who is so soundly asleep you can pick them up and move them without them waking. For an adult, not so much:

Speaking of "Old Wive's Tails".......Growing up i was always told that it was very very bad to pour cold water on a hot engine. I guess there is a chance the block could crack?
If that were true how can all those vehicles on youtube be driving under water without their engines cracking? There's many types of vehicles in many different water hazards on that site. Here is just three of them.

I think it's bad to pour cold water in a hot engine, like if you overheat the engine and blow the coolant, you should wait until the engine is cool before you fill the coolant.
Pouring cold water on a hot engine isn't a problem.

I do know of two people that had cracked engines because of adding cold water to a engine that lost its coolant and another the somebody put a big cooler of ice on the engine to help cool it down because it had blown a hose.
