EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG (EXCEPT FOR THE STUFF THAT’S RIGHT)

Thanks to LiveScience.com and their “Top 20 Most Popular Science Myths” we can finally settle a few bar bets. First, the things that are supposedly true but are not: a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s, hair and fingernails continue to grow after death, a man thinks about sex every seven seconds, a penny dropped from a skyscraper will kill a pedestrian, the Great Wall of China can be seen from the moon, it takes seven years to digest gum, and animals can predict natural disasters. On the other hand, there are indeed a few “myths” which are true. For example, chickens can live without a head (for a little while) and a falling cat will always land on its feet (unless dropped from a height of less than one foot.) Feel smarter now?
