NickLappos quipped in a parting comment in this thread on 10 Nov:
“Regarding listening to your flight instructor (when he preaches limits of not exceeding 300 fpm when IAS is below 30kts), please remember your Mother told you to bundle up, so you don't catch a cold. She was off base (viruses do not care how cold you are!), but the advice was sound, and the intention was excellent!”
So imagine how shocked I was this morning to learn from the BBC News that “Mothers 'were right' over colds” and that “Scientists say they have the first proof that there really is a link between getting cold and catching one”. (

I guess you pay your money and you take your choice!
