Sharks DO get Cancer ?... who kept one in captivity long enough to find this out ? Didn't anyone tell that person that sharks don't fare well in confined spaces ( captivity ) ? And if someone out there says :they electronically tagged one, and let it go, and later it developed Cancer...well, then...guess what..the tag did it .

I used to think that most vikings didn't wear horned helmets but only the Berserkers wore it. That was until recently.

Most of these myths are so ridiculous I find it hard to believe anybody but complete idiots would believe in them. But that's the nice thing about myths. The crazier they are the easier it is to spot the fools among us. As such they serve a purpose.

Hi Juan

"Touch" isn't even, technically, one sense. Our cells sense pressure, hot, cold, and pain in different ways, so "touch" is at least 4 senses all by itself.

Pretty sure that the fact wasn't so much that the word irregardless didn't exist, it's just been misused by tons of people. People when meaning regardless will say irregardless like the prefix is the active part. To say irregardless when you mean regardless is making yourself say the exact opposite of what you are trying to. Funny.
Just don't axe me to explain any further cuz it's really uncomfterbul. -
