If you′re caught in the rain, should you walk or run? What animal was that - and which wine goes best with that piece of flattened fauna? How does a cool bath help you win a marathon, and survive winter better? Is there life elsewhere in our Solar System? Will we ever be able to send people to the stars - and back to Earth again? What is the story behind Noah′s Flood; Why are people called Smith heavier than people Taylor? Can melatonin really cure everything from old age to syphilis, and is CPR as good as the TV shows claim? How can maggots that eat your flesh be good for you? Will the planets really line up in 2000 AD and cause mass destruction on Earth? And are you a supertaster?
