Hold Your Breath in the Shower or Die
Do you breathe while showering? Then you may cause brain damages to yourself, claims scientists. The unusual alarm comes from American scientists, saying that the inhaling of manganese, a substance that appears in the water, may cause damage to your nerve system.
Even the amounts that are considered normal are dangerous, say Sky News.
The results of animal testing shows that you, after years of showering regularly, inhale such amounts of manganese that it may result in permanent brain damage.

Now, I don't mean to sound rude or anything, or to criticize these fine scientists, but don't you think that you may, you know, cause even bigger brain damage if you DON'T breathe in the shower? Just a thought.
