A friend of mine worked in the first refined sugar factory in the world and... uh... he got covered in the stuff... and when he yelled, "I'm covered in SUGAR!" everyone just laughed. Then he went into convulsions and his heart burst through his chest. When they washed off the sugar, they found he had gone completely bald. And impotent. I'm not sure how they figured out that last part, but it's true.

Well, he wasn't a friend of mine, actually, but a good friend of mine told me the story, and he'd have no reason to make it up. He knew it was true because he read it on IMdB.
