General MYTHS that annoy you

We only use 10-20% of our brains - Total and utter rubbish, no matter how many times Hollywood use this for a movie idea.

We eat 4 spiders a year while we sleep. - This was started up by a woman who wondered how far an internet rumour could possibly spread, back in 1993.

The sun is yellow - Nope. It's white.

Any more for any more?

    The old one about the bloke biting into a KFC in a cinema and it was a mouse that had got into the fryer.

    And the other one about someone sitting in the front row of a chippendale show getting crabs in their eyes when they whipped their pants off.

    Story about the bloke who follows through so pops into a charity shop and buys a pair of trousers.

    He goes to the toilet on the train home and throws his shitty trousers out the window.

    He opens the bag from the charity shop and there's a jumper in there.

    Heard that so many times over the years.

    So true. No fate. Was it a lottery that LeTissier only missed one penalty in his career?! I think not!

    'You can't drink on Antibiotics'
    A myth perpetuated by the forces doctors in WW2, cos so many were getting the clap, so they told them that if they drank on antibiotics they wouldn't work. You can and they do work.
    Not that I've had the clap...ahem...!

  • Having unprotected sex with 12 woman in a fortnight will give you the clap. It didn't, although I was sore for a week or so afterwards.

    1)Global Warming is happening
    2)The Jenkinson money was the only money that bought 16 players that season
    3)Newspapers that publish in the summer say it's going to be a heavy winter in December, they always get it wrong.

    It was probably through drinking that most of them got the clap in the first place.

    Toast always lands buttered side down. It might be true for you and me but it's actually a 50/50 chance.

    It's what you know, not who you know. Sadly, often it ain't. It's down to who you know.

    I thought the same til i drank just two pints after taking some strong Antibiotics last year. I've never felt so ill.
    You are probably right for most but there are some you must avoid alcohol completely.

    I remember seeing this proved a while back, it is to do with tables being the right height that the bread only manages half a rotation before it hits the floor, and therefore will more often falls butter side down then up. Their solution was very high tables or keeping your side butter side down on the plate. Maybe not dropping it also might help
