Not sure why we keep going back to those "tests".  Even John Devoldere 
very politely did what he could to try and debunk that particular urban

Like the tale that Mr. Rogers wore long sleaved sweaters because his 
arms were covered with tattoos from his days as a Navy Seal, some 
legends just won't die :-)
