Its a list of common misconceptions about science, history etc..

Napoleon Bonaparte (pictured) was not short; rather he was slightly taller than the average Frenchman of his time.[32][33] After his death in 1821, the French emperor’s height was recorded as 5 feet 2 inches in French feet, which is 5 feet 7 inches (1.69 m).[34][35] Some believe that he was nicknamed le Petit Caporal (The Little Corporal) as a term of affection

Alcoholic beverages do not make one warmer.[216] The reason that alcoholic drinks create the sensation of warmth is that they cause blood vessels to dilate and stimulate nerve endings near the surface of the skin with an influx of warm blood. This can actually result in making the core body temperature lower, as it allows for easier heat exchange with a cold external environment



There is no evidence that Jesus was born on December 25.[294] The Bible never claims a date of December 25, but may imply a date closer to September.[294] The fixed date is attributed to Pope Julius the First because in the year 350 CE he declared the twenty-fifth of December the official date of celebration.[295][296] The date may have initially been chosen to correspond with either the day exactly nine months after Christians believe Jesus to have been conceived,[297] the date of the Roman winter solstice,[298] or one of various ancient winter festivals.

Swallowed chewing gum does not take seven years to digest. In fact, chewing gum is mostly indigestible, and passes through the digestive system at the same rate as other matter.

thank goodness

don't show this to deep

Drinking milk or consuming other dairy products does not increase mucus production. As a result, they do not need to be avoided by those suffering from flu or cold congestion.


hehe, he has a funny name
Thomas Crapper did not invent the flush toilet; flushing toilets were first used in the Indus Valley Civilization, around the 26th century BCE. Crapper, however, did much to increase its popularity and came up with some related inventions, such as the ballcock mechanism used to fill toilet tanks. The derivation of the word 'crap' is unrelated to his name; this is mere coincidence.


virus makers should get on this, get those mac users off their high horse
Computers running Macintosh, Linux, or other non-Windows operating systems are not immune to malware such as trojan horses. These operating systems are capable of being infected by malware designed for them; however, due to the market dominance of Microsoft Windows operating systems, most malware is designed to target them rather than other operating systems.

it is inherently slightly more difficult to create viruses for macs. besides apples rapid updating, the kernel for mac's is designed to be on a networked systems as opposed to PCs which were meant as personal computers.

laptop for school PC for programming/gaming (because you can get a nice desktop cheap if you piece it together) is the way to go imo if you like computers. my macbook pro has gone to hell over 4.5 years, but it definitely got its abuse.

A bunch of my buddies and I are thinking about hitting up a Niner game this season. Question is which one that I've narrowed it down to.

Week 1 vs. Packers
Week 5 vs. Texans (SNF)
Week 10 vs. Panthers
Week 14 vs. Seahawks
Week 16 vs. Falcons (MNF)

I have a PC that a friend built for me years ago. Still works great.

I bought a Mac two years ago and it works great except that the battery has lost it's touch.
