Fact or Fiction?

As you might have noticed from my weakly blog posts, I really enjoy learning about the origin of holidays, events, and interesting or fun facts about particular subjects. This week I decided to look up some myths that circulate through our everyday lives and conversations. With help from my AI friend, Google, I have answered some of life’s long sought after questions.

Below are twenty common myths that you must decide whether they are… Fact or Fiction. The answers are directly below the set of questions, so try not to peak. Just think, the next time someone says one of these statements, you can definitively say “That’s a fact!” or “That ain’t true!”
