Urban Myths?
What do you still think is true even though there's no truth in the fact whatsoever or simply what's your favourites?
Sat watching Ben-Hur has prompted this thread, yes I need a life!. ..no, a stuntman didn't die in the filming and you can't see a Ferrari during the chariot race!
Did that women microwave her dog trying to dry it after a walk? |

"I always thought with Ben Hur that the rumour was that a guy was wearing a wristwatch during the Charriot race?
Could be wrong though! "
I heard this too but haven't bothered to check |

I’m sure someone will be sad enough to freeze frame it all and let us know!  |

How much of your brain would you use to do that?  |

I thought (and still do think...) that you can see jet aircraft vapour trails in the charriot race scene. |

They even made a movie and got Morgan Freeman to say that line. Not Morgan Freeman. How did they get to him? Why Morgan, why? |

But the other 93% stops you?"
Have you ever heard anyone say it? I've heard well educated sane people say it. As if we could open up your head, take out 90% of the brain, stitch you back up and everything would be fine. |

Place a tub of boiling soup in the freezer and leave it over night.
If your going for a long walk on cold day take the soup with you and once it's defrosted you will have a pre prepaired hot soup drink x |

Tis rubbish that one, for two reasons, balls weren't stored that way and contraction co-efficient of the two metals aren't that significantly different. |

Think that's claimed in every movie isn't it, obviously mean movie based pre-jet age! |

Erm,in best adenoidal tones, let me explain: at anyone time we only use about 10% of the brain actively. If we used all our brain simultaneously it would over heat and we would die.
I was actually explaining this to a work colleague and he just turned round and walked away! |

So something with the ambient temperature of a household freezer actually has a temperature memory of its pre-frozen state and returns to it upon defrosting? You should submit that to New Scientist or Nature, can see a Noble prize in it for you! |

I know now that it's rubbish but hate that it is - it was one of my favourite "facts" to roll out to impress people for years!! |
