Goldfish bowls are really bad places to keep goldfish.
They're too small to allow for adequate filtration and don't provide enough oxygen. "Goldfish bowls," writes TheGoldfishTank.com, "are the equivalent to putting your goldfish in the toilet and expecting him to show you his best colors, grow to the size of a softball, and never get sick." (Same rule applies to betta fish.)
For an aspirin to save your life during a heart attack, you need to chew it.
Aspirin, which inhibits platelets that speed blood clots, works fastest if chewed. A small amount is all you need, and since time is of the essence, chewing delivers the antiplatelet effects through the blood vessels in your mouth instead of the digestive process.
Antibiotics don't work on viruses.
Antibiotics kill bacteria only and are useless against the cold and flu, which are both caused by viruses. When not used correctly, they can be harmful to your health.
