I'm a bit puzzled by this bit of advice:

"- Wear an icecream container on your head when crossing magpie flightpaths!"

What size and material ice cream container are they talking about? Why, specifically, ice cream? Do they mean it should still have ice cream in it? Any particular flavour? or brand? Are people more likely to have an ice cream container handy than to have a helmet of some kind? Are ice cream containers more comfortable? ergonomic? protective? stylish? If any of those, what shape heads do people have where this advice arose?
