WHILE it is advised you not go around tweaking the honkers of other people to test the theory, a new study suggests the temperature of a person's nose may be linked to how hard they are working their brain.
Scientists at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom examined the neurological functions of 14 volunteers and found the more a person was using their brain to solve a problem, the colder their nose was under thermal imaging.
The final proof of the study was reached when someone was badly burnt after inadvertently touching the schnoz of US President Donald Trump.

Theories postulated include doctor fatigue, understaffing, and perhaps fewer witnesses to a medical episode due to fewer patients present in wards.
