IDEAS PEOPLE WANT TO BELIEVE

Added on: 23rd May 2016

 

EACH SIDE OF YOUR BRAIN HAS A DIFFERENT

FUNCTION (LANGUAGE, MATHS, ETC)

brain

This is a classic belief in “pop” psychology. Both sides of your

brain do everything to some extent. Of course, certain

functions may be more represented on one side, but

even this varies from person to person.

 

 

CHAMELEONS BLEND IN WITH THEIR SURROUNDINGS

Chameleons only change colour to communicate. It has nothing

to do with their surroundings.

 

 

PEOPLE THAT ARE DROWNING WAVE THEIR

HANDS AND STRUGGLE

Someone could drown 2ft from you and you would never know it. 

In fact, people often mistake drownings for someone just

playing in the water. Time to learn about the instinctive

drowning response. You could save a life.

 

 

MACS DON'T GET VIRUSES

Yes they do, it’s just that there aren’t a lot of people making viruses

for them because not many people have macs.

 

 

POINSETTIAS ARE SUPER TOXIC TO HUMANS

While they can cause mild irritation to the skin or stomach,

according to the American Association of Poison Control Centres

there are no recorded fatalities with regards to poinsettias.

 

 

ORANGES (THE FRUIT) WERE NAMED AFTER

ORANGE (THE COLOUR)

oranges

It was the other way around. In fact, several hundred years ago

orange was seen as a shade of red.

 

 

THERE WAS WIDESPREAD PANIC WHEN WAR OF THE

WORLDS WAS PLAYED ON THE RADIO IN 1938

BECAUSE PEOPLE THOUGHT MARTIANS WERE

ACTUALLY INVADING

war of the worlds

Nobody thought Martians were invading but the newspapers blew

a few isolated incidents out of proportion…as usual.

 

 

PEOPLE DIED REALLY YOUNG DURING

THE MIDDLE AGES

middle ages

The average life expectancy was around 30 but that was largely

caused by high infant mortality. People who made it to

the age of 21 had a life expectancy of 64.
