Old Wives' Tales

My favourite site for finding out the truth for Old Wives' Tales and Urban Legends is the Snopes site. Unfortunately, when I looked, they did not have any information on a question I had about cheese at bedtime - so I did my own research. Fortunately CIX is an excellent place to find answers and pointers for questions on any topic. So I asked in the Noticeboard conference on CIX.

Since then I saw, from my Atomz search results, that someone had searched on "cold key nose bleed". Remembering this story from my childhood, I went to Snopes and again didn't find an answer. However Google is our trusty friend, so I have added another OWT to the list. Keep them coming.

OWT Question
001 Don't eat cheese at bedtime, you'll have nightmares!
002 You can cure a nose bleed by dropping a cold key down the back
