Got a source? Most forms of diarrhea are in fact due to certain foods and especially cheeses and meats incorrectly prepared. The possibility of rotavirus or other diarrhea causing bacteria remaning on the hands being re-ingested are very slim.

You'll find that you very likely don't need to change your oil more often than every 5000 or 7500 miles.

VERY untrue. Mechanics and people with the longest running cars (200,000+ miles) recommend checking your oil every 500 miles or less. It is the most important fluid in your engine, and changing it early can be very necessary. I live on all dirt roads, and the excess dirt that I stir up when driving easily gets into my oil -- turning it BLACK in under 2000 miles. Oil is
not supposed to be black.

The correct inflation pressure for the stock tires on your car is the one recommended by your car's manufacturer, not the maximum listed on the tire, and is usually found on a sticker inside the driver's side door or glove compartment.

Important to note -- STOCK. Unless you're using the tires provided with a new car from a dealership, odds are that they are
not the stock tires. Only these are properly measured for weight distribution of your car, and new tires can see dramatic performance increaes or decreases if you do not use the tire's recommended pressures.
My tip:
Never disclose your credit card information when using a cell phone or cordless phone. If you need to send your information, due so over a landline telephone to another landline telephone. Doing otherwise can put you at a higher risk for identity theft. If I got 1 dollar for everytime a cell phone came up on my commercial scanner, I'd be rich!
