  Speaker 1: This is a list of myths you still believe today,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Myths myths you believe.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think I believe in anything mythical.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Let's find out, all right, lightning never strikes twice?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: No, I don't believe that.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Lightning always finds the fastest route toward the ground, so
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it will always catch the tallest thing around, like the empire,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: state building, or the angel Moroni.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: The top book. Oh that's not the highest thing around it, but.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Often it is a church, steeple or something. Yeah, it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: most certainly can strike twice. It'll always just hit the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: tallest thing around. Humans only use ten percent of their brains,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: That's what I always heard. This myth must have been
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: made up by human beings who only use their brains
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: part time, because there's no basis in scientific fact. Yeah,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: your brain uses everything to keep body and internal systems functioning.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: So I've heard that a million times, and I'm like
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: something in the back of my head has.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Gone, that's not right, right, never eat before going swimming. Oh,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: that's that one I know is almost everyone has heard
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: this from their mother during the summer. Despite widespread belief
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: about aquatic athletics, there's nothing that actually says you can
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: get cramps from eating a full meal. It's perfectly fine.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Human blood turns blue until it's oxygen.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I remember hearing that when I was a kid.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, because your veins, you when you see them through
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: your skin, like if they show through your skin, they're blue. Yeah,
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: so that the people who are people who were very
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: wealthy were very pale.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were called blue bloods.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: It's the veins in your arms creating the illusion, which
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: supposedly supports this modern myth. All blood turns very dark
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: color without oxygen, as it was really almost black. Once
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that dark colored blood circulates through the respiratory system, it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: becomes rich with oxygen.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: I had blood coming out of my film last night,
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: and your thumb I cut it on the screen the
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: screen of my cell phone. Really, yeah, there's a there's
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: a edges, there's a protective cover over my screen, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: it's gotten old and it started to kind of fray
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: and crackle a little bit, and right at the top
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: there was a little.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Sharp and just pick prick me like a pin.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I've never heard this one. Swords have a groove to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: drain blood.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I've not heard that one.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: No, this falsehood must date back to the Age of Nights,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: since it involves a design concept called the fuller in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the middle of swords. This also is making me say
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the word.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Sword, which is an accomplishment.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Since first made in history, swords have they grooved fuller,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: but part of the design is assumed to be used
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: for draining blood. In fact, this is not a blood groove.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It just makes the sword way less, so it's you're
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: on the outside. Oh okay, more night stuff. Plated armor
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is heavy and constricting. Not so. It's made light.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: And it looks like it would be difficult to operate in.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Lifespan of a fly is twenty four hours. I've always
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: heard that many people believe that a life cycle lasts
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: one day or even less. This is far from true.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Truth be told. Flies can live anywhere from a few
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: days to several years. I run into an old fly.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: I had a pet fly, and he lived to be six.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I fed him coconut.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: You fed him Cocainut velociraptors in Jurassic Park looked like
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the movie that they know, they don't really look like that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: They were more bird ling.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Apparently the lizard like velociraptors in Spielberg's movie, or most
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: creatively and not scientifically designed, they are major birdlike appearance.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Did they have feathers? I think they had.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: They did, they had feathers.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mercury is the hottest nearby planet. Well, it's it's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: closest to the Sun. You wouldn't think. I don't know
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: why you think that Venus is cold. I don't know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I thought Venus was cold.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cold. It's Mars ain't the kind of place
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to raise your kids.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: In fact, it's cold wells in the no Venus is
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: right behind Mercury.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Of course it's warm.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Venus is actually the hottest planet average temperature eight hundred
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and sixty four degrees fahrenheit.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: How is it that it's hotter than Mercury.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I had no belief about that one.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Way, or I didn't either, But it's interesting.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The rings of Saturn are solid. I don't think people
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: know they think that, do they They're like just orbiting,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: orbiting rock.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's little articles.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see. Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I have been I was told that forever and ever. Yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: but it's not true.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Knuckle cracking does not give you arthritis. Even though the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: art of cracking your knuckles sounds awful, it's not too
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: harmful as other activities you may be doing with your hands.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: You know what what makes the sound when you crack them?
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: There's air, right, Yeah, looks like nitrogen in the spaces.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Gun silencers don't actually work, that's the myth. Apparently they do.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: What silencers on any gun will muffle the sound of
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it being fired, just depending on what type of firearm
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it is, it can reduce the noise about forty three decibels.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You can still hear it, so it's not totally silent,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: but it's it's silencer is a better word than quieter.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Truth serums actually do work well. It's a two sided
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: argument in the way truth serums do work. Giving anyone
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a dose of sodium pedopoal will act is a truth
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: serum make you more apt to talk about things you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: normally would keep to yourself. But the serum doesn't keep
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you from telling lies, just makes you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: It makes you more talkative, and you know you're you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: You will let slip things that you may not have
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: normally done.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Don't ever wake anybody up who's sleepwalking.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: We've all always heard that way.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: This myth says that waking up a sleepwalking person may
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: cause them harm even by scaring them, or they may
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: try to hurt the walker. Truth is, most sleepwalkers are
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: less likely to be injured by being awakened than they
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: are to hurt themselves walking around in a deep sleep.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: So if you see a friend or family member sleepwalking,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: just gently come up and behind them.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: And have you.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Ever been around have you ever been around sleepwalkers? Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: it's not it's kind of weird. Yeah, my brother used
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: to We didn't see him walking too much, but we'd
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: hear him because he'd get up and turn on the
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: TV and sit in front of the TV. But at
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: that time of the life, there was no programming. It
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: was just white and life. Yeah, and he would just
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: sit there in front of the TV.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe it was pleasant. Here's a here's a venus. Here's
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: someone smart texting in about venus. It's hotter because it's
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: atmosphere of carbon dioxide. Has trapped all the solar radiation
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: in it, which is why it's hotter.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Now, I get this all the time from people trying
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to get me to switch to Apple products. Apples never
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: get viruses. Well that's not true, but Smith is more
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: about hackers attacking the majority than the minority when it
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: comes to computers. So anybody whoever thinks that Max or
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Apple computers don't get viruses, they do sometimes.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're less likely to.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: That's because not there's not as many people going after
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: There are more Android phones than there are Apple phones.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And but Apple. Apple is also more strict about yes, how.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: They apps, you have to go through a sid.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: An Android you pretty much anybody can get an Apple.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I mean when we did the X ninety six app,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: it took forever to get an Apple version of it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, dropping a penny from the top of the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Empire State Building will kill you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Always heard that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: If it hits you in the head, it'll kill you.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: This myth says dropping a penny will kill someone on
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: impact reality, Really, that penny won't kill anyone could hurt you, though,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: traveling at a speed of fifty miles an hour as
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: possible that it could put.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Your eye out, but not.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: It would not be pleasant.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: It would not be pleasant, but it wouldn't like penetrate
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: your skull and kill you.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: As do you have time more.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Ostriches don't bury their head in the sand.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah they do.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It's an odd myth because no ostrich has ever consciously
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: buried its own head in the sand. What they do, however,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is lay eggs and bury them under the sand. After
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: doing this, the parent will check on them several times
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a day, so.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It looks like it looks like they do. It's not
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: like they're hiding from you.
