The Hong Kong Science Museum got into a spot of bother recently after parents took to social media to rant about children becoming infested with head lice after donning helmets while playing with one of the interactive engineering exhibits. The poor museum staff scrambled to refute the allegations. And I sympathised.
Hats are to nits (head lice eggs) what Uber is to late night revellers: They get them from A to B quickly. And nits are to mothers what broomsticks were to suspected witches in the 1600s: They herald instant elimination from contact lists and banishment to social Siberia.
