Vitamin C does nothing for a cold, old wives tale Combined with the "I'm sick so I'm going to take like 1000% of my vitamin C for the day!" Congrats. Your piss is now full of vitamin C. Maybe somebody you'll learn what water soluble means.

Hitler was not obsessed with the occult. Himmler, the head of the SS, was.

Maybe somebody you'll learn what water soluble means. Along those lines, the symptoms you feel when sick, the congestion, fever, fatigue, etc., is not the virus, it's your own body's immune response to the virus.

This is pretty specific to the UK but I still see it doing the rounds on Social Media.
Back in the 70s/80s there was a kids TV show called Rainbow. There was an infamous episode of it commonly referred to as the “Twangers” episode where there is various sexual innuendo and double-entendres involving counting the number of skins on a banana, “one skin, two skin, three skin.....” and the male singers referring to playing with their twangers while the female singer plays with her maracas. This clip normally appears under the title of “how did they get away with showing this?”
Except it never aired on TV until years after it was filmed and these airings were on a late-night entertainment show. The clip itself was part of a Christmas TV package that every year the various ITV regions would record special clips of shows that weren’t for broadcast. These tapes were meant to give the staff who had to work over the Christmas period a bit of a treat as they were stuck in the offices when everyone else was off for a week. You can find these online fairly easily but they are a product of their time and as the vast majority of people these tapes were made for were men, this is reflected by the “blue humour” and appearance of “leggy lovelies” in various states of undress.

And on a similar note, the kids show Captain Pugwash did not have characters called Master Bate, Seaman Stains and Roger the Cabin Boy. Some newspapers found this out the hard way as they printed this as fact and were sued by the creator.

Alvin York did not act alone when he captured 132 German soldiers in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. It was a group of 20 soldiers in which 6 were killed and a couple of others seriously injured.

Nah. It literally is pronounced with a hard G. I’ve heard it done, many times. I do it myself, and I’m not a myth. If you’re saying you or the inventor don’t *want* it to be pronounced like that, that’s different, and, in a sense, tough luck. Coining a word doesn’t give you exclusive rights on how common usage will develop or change. If it did, we’d still be sounding out the “k” and “gh” in “knight,” like folks did 600 years ago. Language changes as people use it.

Feel free to swim on a full stomach all you want.
Your face will not be stuck that way.
Humans can fly. Only once though.
