For example:
- Chickens can live wouth a head.
- A penny dropped from the top of a tall building could kill a pedestrian.
- It takes seven years to digest gum.
- You get less wet by running in the rain.
- Men think about sex every seven seconds.
- Hair and fingernails continue growing after death.
My favorite misconception – A dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth.
I have seen my dog eat her own poop in the backyard. Every since then she isn’t allowed to lick me. My son, that’s fine but not me. 🙂
Actually, your hair and fingernails do NOT continue to grow after death. The skin begins to pull away and shrink back from the nails and hair as the body decomposes, giving the illusion that the nails and hair are growing.
