Myths
No, it's not the computer game Myth I'm talking about. I'm talking about myths; stories that you could not determine either to be the truth or false.
From Wikipedia (man, I love this site!): myth a comparatively recent term that has been applied to stories that purport to have a basis in fact, but when examined are fictional. For example; urban myth, the myth of El Dorado. This usage, which is often pejorative, may have arisen from labelling the religious stories and beliefs of other cultures as being incorrect. As a term it allows no distinction between fiction, legend, fairy tale, folklore, fable, and urban legend, each of which has a precise meaning.
So, what are the myths I'm been saying? Or rather, the Internet has been notoriously circulating? Here's some of them:-
1) Does an ince bullet fired by a second gunman could've killed JFK?
2) Will dropping a lit cigarette into the toilet bowl explode when you're doing your..."business"?
3) Running through rain will keep you drier.
4) Using mobile phones at petrol station will blow you sky high.
5) Sillicone implants will explode when you go to high altitudes.
6) CD-ROM will shatter if run continuosly at 52x at your computer and have the shards pierce you.
7) Pissing on an electrified rail will electrocute you.
8) A barrel of brick will fall down, breaks and spill its content, goes up, hits you, and then comes down again and hits you the third time.
9) Electric eel skin wallet will wipe your credit card info.
10) A penny dropped from the Empire State building (or any high building) will shatter your skull.
11) Dissimilar tooth fillings will pick up radio signals...and you can hear them.
12) People buried alive will still be alive after several hours.
13) Cola can clean chrome, melt steak, clears corrosion.....
14) Dropping a hammer (or heavy object) just before you hit the water (after a drop of 100m) will save you.
15) Lightning will strike the person with metal stud in their tongue.
16) A wooden cannon will explode with standard explosive charge and kill a whole village.
17) A duck's quack has no echo.
18) Chicken gun: Frozen chicken vs. thawed chicken, which one will shatter the windscreen.
19) A bullet fired (and piercing the fuselage) in an aircraft flying at altitude will create explosive decompression.
20) Goldfish has only 3 (or 15 depending on source) seconds of memory.
So, from (1) through (20), which one are the one you say are the truth, and which one would you say are definately busted myths?
Coming up tommorow, the science to debunk or support the myths!
