Washing your clothes in cold water may not neccessarily be the best thing, especially salmonella or hepatitis A. According to Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, hot water kills germs, but cold water lets viruses survive on your clothes. So, if you wash your clothes in cold water, you have to wash your hands in cold water. Don't wash your underwear in the same load as a handkerchief, or anything else that touches your face. Gerba says, quote, "There is about a tenth of a gram of feces in the average pair of underwear"... so that can actually survive and transfer to other clothes in cold water.

57 year old Joseph Clark of Toledo, Ohio was supposed to die by lethal injection for the 1984 murder of two men. Executioners hooked him up to an IV to administer his lethal injection, but, a few minutes in, Joseph knew something was wrong. He sat up, looked the exectioners in the eye, and told them "It's not working." Apparently,Clark's vein had collapsed and the poisons weren't getting into his blood. They hooked it up into his other arm and the rest is history...!
