Guest JMA Report post Posted August 12, 2004 Urban Legends Reference Pages This is a really good site that exposes some well-known "facts" as nothing but urban legends. The categories are very extensive and I recommend everyone take a look at the page. Some common myths: The Coriolis effect causes toilets to flush clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern. We only use ten percent of our brains. Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death. The Great Wall of China is the only man-made object visible from the moon. A Julius Caesar quote which warns people to beware leaders who "bang the drums of war." Albert Einstein embarasses an atheist professor. You must sign a petition to stop Jesus from being portrayed as a homosexual in an upcoming film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted August 13, 2004 Some of those are a little scary/freaky... and I'm sorry to say I've believed more than one of those myths since childhood. Damn television. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
