I love the grape one...I'm totally trying it this new years. :)<BR/><BR/>I could see OJ making you hyperactive - its full of easily digestable sugars. But sugar doesn't make all of us hyper...and the cheese thing? I'm obsessed with cheese and eat it whenever possible and especially as a late night snack...and I'm relatively sane. If the wet hair one is true I'll be very blind when I'm old :)<BR/><BR/>As for the poppy seed one - being a lab geek I've read in publications that there are opiate compounds in the seeds that will cause you to fail a drug test (even enough on a poppyseed bagel to do it!), but you'd have to ingest enough to pretty much make you sick before you'd even begin to feel nausious...I doubt unless you were allergic to it if it would cause a problem...although your body doesn't filter out opiates well though so if you ate a tonne of them every day for a week maybe...? Seems a pretty slow and tedious way to try and kill yourself.<BR/><BR/>Wow...being a biochemist means I know a lot of useless things I guess. Just had to say hi and comment on your post. It's so interesting to hear new superstitions.<BR/>The cake you made for your husband looks yummy BTW :)Geosominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729167937433295927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563034037227257342.post-47895802021948211262007-03-06T09:14:00.000-08:002007-03-06T09:14:00.000-08:00Liked this.
