    Kissing safer than shaking hands

    According to Michael John Gorman, the Director of Dublin's Science Gallery which is holding an exhibition called 'Infectious'.

    Don't shake hands, it'll be safer just to kiss - Latest News, Health - Independent.ie

    Apparently, the bacteria in an individual's mouth is much less dangerous than that which is found on the hands.

    Visitors to the exhibition can join in a 'Kiss Culture' experiment where they plant their lips on some agar jelly and following incubation, can have the bacteria placed on a commemorative coaster.

    Anyone want to pucker up?

    Obviously no one is trying to say that French mouths are cleaner than their hands, just normal nationalities.

    Jeeves, imagine the Church adopted this advice? I might consider lifting the old 'Gideons' again but I ain't sitting near the altar rails.
