Ridiculous

This reported on Radio Cambridgeshire earlier:

"American researchers claim that taking regular showers could cause brain damage."

There was a bit of technobabble to explain why they think this, but really... Just how many things are we going to be stopped from doing in this age of enlightenment? Are we going to bring up children with warnings to only gently sponge themselves clean? ("DON'T stand under the running water. I know it's fun, but do you want to end up like Grandad?")

Don't these researchers ahave anything better to do?
