I like this one:
“Vaccines cause autism: Groundless fears based on fraudulent research that’s been shown to have been manipulated.”
How many things in this category can you think of in 60 seconds?

By Readers Digest, PURVEYOR of lies and false stories... As I noted in an earlier post, I won't disagree with that assessment. As for me, I tend to live in the past, at a time when RD was, well, as American as apple pie. And I did not see anything in that list that was particularly harmful. That's why I posted it. As the saying goes, your mileage my vary.

I apologize, you misunderstood. I was just asking a philosophical question as to what motivates people over all these decades to make things up like salt will help water boil. I wasnt chastising you as the poster.

Napoleon wasn’t French. He was Corsican, and Corsica belonged to Genoa until the year before he was born. His name was Italian—Buonaparte.

The short version is the ratio between air resistance and mass. That ratio determines something’s terminal velocity. Pennies are not as dense as bullets and they are also flat. Hence they have a high surface area for their size/weight. So they fall slower than bullets. Some people claim bullets don’t kill coming back down but that is clearly false as people die to errant vertically fired bullets all the time.

sugar=hyperactivity Poor or rowdy behavior still occur in children with sugar free diets.
Well duh.
However sugar or fast release energy food do tend to make children wiggly.
bulls are color blind
Also false. They see color but it is not as intense as humans see color.
Everest is only the tallest mountain above sea level.
Highest point on earth = Tallest mountain. Talk about nit-picky.
Ben Franklin - Turkey...
He wanted it as our national bird. Once again, nit-picky.

Yes, but the comparison they used was to the average frenchman not the average Corsican.

Thanks, ever since I saw they peddled the “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” lie, irrespective of politics and before the Clinton Machine moved next door, I’ve hated them.

No problem. The weakness of communicating or miscommunicating in writing...
To: NorthMountain
It’s basically correct. There is one slight nit I would pick, which I will directly address to the poster.

One very slight correction: An object falling in the atmosphere does not necessarily maintain its terminal velocity to impact with the ground unless the air is still. [Objects with very low terminal velocities display this characteristic all the time.]
