Well, I know that you're not supposed to put fruit in the refridgerator until they are completely ripened. Putting them in the fridge stops whatever process it is that ripens them. Putting them in a brown paper bag allows the ripening process to continue. I think the fruit emits something once ripened that may reek havoc with the other foods. I've seen a special on this but don't remember all the details verbatim.

With this one, the only thing that sound logical is that by wearing shoes, you prevent your feet from spreading too wide. But foot size is genetic,and you can't cheat your DNA, so I don't see how this might work out.
