MOST of those "True Facts" lists you get in email contain lies. WHY? It's so prevalent that it seems to indicate some kind of pathology. |

Knew most of them already, but interesting collection. Always thought the "its impossible for bumblebees to fly" one was a classic. Here's a simple lesson in logic and science: If "A" is flying around in front of you, and your hypothesis says it's impossible - chance are its not the bumblebee that's doing things wrong. |

It just so happens that the moods of chameleons match their environment? I'd have to say that all but the last one make sense. |

Can't we just say, "go check out cracked.com," and be done with it? I like their stuff too, but I've already made it part of my daily routine--I don't need every single post linked to i-a-b. What's next, cross-linking every fark.com post? |

So what if alcohol actually makes you loose heat faster? That so doesn’t mean it didn't used to be a treatment for hypothermia! Pre-modern medicine is full of treatments and cures that would do you more harm than good, "bleeding" a patient of a good half litre of blood was thought to do no end of good for a cold. |

"Chameleons can change color; in fact they do it all the time. But it has nothing to do with camouflage. As you learned above from Aristotle (as everyone else should have learned a billion years ago), the color of a chameleon depends on what emotional state it's in"That's just stupid. If that's how it worked for them, they'd put themselves into danger in the wild. Blending into the environment is a lot more useful than turning blue while you've got predators around just because you're feeling a different emotion. Besides, I've taken care of chameleons, and when I put them on a brown branch or whatever, they'd go brown, or if I put them in a green shrub, they turn green, so yeahh, I don't agree with that "bullcrap animal fact". |

St Bernards used to carry brandy around. But then people realised there were free drinks running about and people started to get "lost" just to get a drink. Honestly |

I knew most of them already. And btw, Landseer way famous for painting Newfoundland dogs, expicailly the ones with the black and white coat coloring. Because of that the black and white colored Newfoundland dogs are named after him. |
