Studies have actually shown that, while the low body temperatures usually experienced when caught in the rain can reduce the effectiveness of your immune system, there is no direct correlation between illness and being caught outdoors during a downpour. Additionally, "you" do not really exist.

Myth #2: Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
