The Centers for Disease Control wants you to know that playing beer pong will not increase your risk for herpes: "Recent news stories about an alleged CDC study showing a possible link between the drinking game, Beer Pong, and herpes simplex 1, the virus that causes cold sores, are false. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not publish the referenced article." (HT: Colbert Report.)
