I was going to point-out several others (# 22 - Mythbusters also, @ Crakr and chalket but Runemang beat us all to the punch)
Speaking of "Orange" though
@studioso ("purple = circle, orange = storage, porridge)
I don't think those are considered proper rhymes. It's tantamount to the pervasive use of the term 'nigga' when one can think of nothing else to compliment
a word ending with an 'a', but not technically rhyming
with it. To rhyme, I believe at least the last two letters of a monosyllabic word have to produce perfect homonymic synchronicity (disregarding spelling anomalies like double-esses). In multi-syllabic words, I believe the same effect has to be produced with at least the final syllable of our rhyming word's predecessor. |

These stupid "facts" are still kicking around? I'm surprised the one about a duck's quack not echoing isn't on here. The list is hardly complete without it...complete bull, that is. |

I tried to look up how many of these were incorrect but my search proved infecundous. |

Ok, so the only fact you highlight is completely incorrect:

so that makes it hard to enjoy the rest of list. |

"Why the hell would the American flag be on Canadian money?"
To commemorate the Canadian/American war when the US occupied their capital. |

@tatripp How about "Go." ?
Also a command with the implied subject (you) and the verb, go. Plus, it's one letter shorter. |

While the 2 dollar bill has not even existed in Canada for years, a simple google search, or look into the envelope of old bills in my dresser) says, nope, that flag is Canadian. as for the clocks in Pulp Fiction, after I heard this "fact" a long time ago, I made it a point to verify this during my next viewing - it's a lie. |

We have 2-dollar bills? Wait, do we even have 1-dollar bills? It's all automated debit card up here north, seeing as it's 2013 and all. |

Snopes is your friend. It is not the American flag. Why the hell would the American flag be on Canadian money? |

48 is wrong. I have my BA in English and I can come up with a shorter complete sentence on the spot:
"Run."
My sentence is an imperative or command and the implied subject is (you) and the verb is run. |
