Hamburgers were invented in Hamburg, right?
In fact, the hamburger was first sold in America.

Well, at least Napoleon was a dwarf, wasn’t he?
Erm, no. At 5ft 6in, he was the average height of
a European man in the 1800s.

These are some of the myths exploded in a new
book, True Or False. But, as it also reveals, some
of the great urban myths are, in fact, true.

Falling cats do tend to land on their feet. And,
sadly, pessimists are right - toast does usually
land butter-side down.

Here are some of the most famous myths - and
the truth that lies beneath...

1) There are seven seas

FALSE: The expression was coined by sailors
thousands of years ago, but it is as mythical as
the mermaid. In truth, there are five oceans and
more than 50 seas.

2) A cockroach can live without its head

TRUE: Cockroaches survived the extinction of
the dinosaurs. And, yes, they can live without air
for 45 minutes, and without their heads for at
least three days.

3) A coin dropped from a high building can kill
you

FALSE: However high the building, a coin is very
unlikely to kill you if it lands on your head.
Because it is small and flat, it is subject to lots of
wind resistance and won’t hit lethal speeds. If
hit, you’re more likely to end up feeling as
though your head’s been stung.

4) Camels store water in their humps

FALSE: A camel’s hump is really a huge lump of
fat. This is a food store, allowing the camel to
survive for long periods in the desert.

5) It is warm in summer because Earth’s orbit is
closest to the sun

FALSE: This cannot be true — after all, when it is
summer on one side of our planet, it is winter on
the other. The changing seasons are a result of
the tilt in Earth’s axis, with the northern
hemisphere turning towards the sun in our
summer, and away in our winter.

6) We’re taller in the morning than evening

TRUE: We are bigger after a spell lying in bed.
The backbone doesn’t have to support your body weight, so the discs between the vertebrae aren’t squashed, as they are during the day. So you are 0.2in taller in the morning than in the evening.

7) An opera singer can shatter glass

TRUE: Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso
claimed his high notes could shatter champagne
flutes. He was right — ear-piercing tones have
been known to break glass.
Glass has a natural resonant frequency — the
speed it will vibrate when tapped, or disturbed
by a sound-wave. If a professional sings at the
right pitch and volume to vibrate the air particles
around the glass at its precise resonant
frequency, the glass will vibrate. Raising the
volume can result in the glass breaking
altogether.

A rainbow has seven colours

FALSE: The reality is not so black and white.
Reflecting sunlight off water droplets,a rainbow
bounces back every wavelength from infrared to
ultra-violet, with colours running into millions of
kaleidoscopic shades.

9) The sun is yellow

TRUE: Children’s drawings of bright yellow
sunshine capture its true colour. This big ball of
glowing gas is indeed a yellow star. The Sun
looks yellow from space, but it is more yellow
from Earth due to it being seen through our
planet’s atmosphere. If you viewed the Sun from
a mountain-top, the yellow intensity would
reduce because the atmosphere is thinner. We
are so familiar with depictions of the yellow Sun
that astronomers enhance images to make them more yellow.

10) Starlight is millions of years old

TRUE: When you look up at the stars, you’re
seeing their original light created many
thousands or even millions of years before. A
light-year is the distance light travels in a year —
5.88 million-million miles. So the light of a star
millions of light years away has indeed taken
millions of years to reach us.

11) Goldfish have three second memories

FALSE: Goldfish have a reputation for stupidity.
But it’s an unfair one. In truth, they are fast
learners and punctual time-keepers, with the
ability to remember colours and music months
later.

12) Elephants never forget

TRUE: Elephants do have exceptional memories.
They recognise old friends after long periods
apart, and they know the scent of around 30
relations. Mourning elephants touch the skulls
and tusks of dead elephants, and return to the
site in a grieving ritual.

13) A black hole sucks in everything near it

FALSE: The gravitational pull of a black hole (a
place in space where gravity pulls so much that
even light can’t get out) is undeniably strong, but
it cannot absorb all matter. Mysterious so-called
dark matter (undetectable matter known to
make up perhaps 90 per cent of the mass of the
universe) seems able to resist it.

14) We use only 10 per cent of our brains

FALSE: This is a myth dating back to the 19th
century when scientists had many strange ideas
about the human brain. In fact, sensors and
scanners reveal that we use all of our brain, and
most tasks involve activity in many different
areas at the same time.

15) Neanderthals were very hairy and spoke in
grunts

FALSE: This unflattering description comes from
popular stereotypes of early peoples. Scientific
studies reveal that Neanderthals were not overly
hairy and talked similarly to people today.

CONTROVERSIAL Assistant Inspector General of
Police (AIG) in Zone 7, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu,
yesterday, continued his bully of Nigerian
citizens he is paid to protect.
He ordered the detention of Africa Independent
Television (AIT) reporter, Amaechi Anakwue over
a frivolous charge.

Mbu invited Anakwue to his office for allegedly
referring to him as a “ CONTROVERSIAL police
officer” during a television programme. It was learnt that on getting to the office, Mbu ordered his men to detain Anakwue. Last night, the management of DAAR Communications demanded the release of the Journalist.

Mbu, who was Rivers State commissioner of Police was redeployed to Abuja,following his hostile relationship with Governor Rotimi Amaechi. In Rivers State, Mbu was accused of authorising the use of “rubber bullets” to disperse a group preparing to hold a rally, in which Senator Magnus Abe was shot. On getting to Abuja, he authorised the use of water cannon to disperse protesting lecturers of polytechnics and colleges of education at the Eagle Square.

He recently described himself as a “lion”, who
tamed a leopard in Rivers State, apparently
referring to Governor Amaechi.
Amaechi, however, lambasted Mbu, describing
him as a man who “completely lacks the steel
and strength of character of a lion, and is rather
a shameless, corrupt puppet and toothless
attack dog of a woman”.

BARRELEYE

Last but certainly not least: the barreleye, which
is also known as the spook fish.
Named for their large, protruding, barrel-shaped
eyes, the four-eyed fish has a transparent head -
meaning you can see it's brain, as well.

BLOBFISH

You can't un-see this haunting creature!
The blobfish lives off the coasts of mainland
Australia and Tasmania.
Rarely seen by humans, they usually live at
depths between 600 and 1200m.

RIBBON EEL AND RED-LIPPED BATFISH

While both the colourful ribbon eel and red-
lipped batfish may look beautiful, you definitely
don't want to get too close.
These eels can change colour and sex during
their life and grow to be 1.3m long.
As far as the batfish, their pectoral fins actually
allow them to walk on the ocean floor.
It's found in deep waters off the Galapagos Islands.

MOLA MOLA

The Mola mola is the heaviest known bony fish
in the world with an average adult weight
of 1,000 kg.
An ocean sunfish, the species is native to
temperate and tropical waters.
Though they may be absolutely massive, these
docile creatures eat a diet almost solely
comprised of jellyfish and pose no threat to
humans whatsoever.

BOBBIT WORM

Found in warmer oceans, the Bobbit worm can
grow to sizes of nearly 3m (9.8 ft) long - although
the average remains around 1m (3 ft).
The creature catches its food by burying its long
body into an ocean bed composed of gravel and
mud, waiting for one of its five antennae to
sense prey.
Due to its sharp teeth and speed of attack,
sometimes its prey is sliced in half in the
process.

SPIDER CRAB

The spider crab is one unusual looking
creature. It's body is covered in spikes and along with its eight walking legs, it also has two longer clawed arms.
Most often, they are found in course sand and
bedrock along the UK's southern and western
coasts.

WATER BEAR

Good luck ever being able to close your eyes
again after getting a glimpse of the world's
toughest creature: the water bear (or
tardigrade).
The water-dwelling micro-animals are classified
as extremophiles, which means that they can
thrive in an environment that would be
detrimental to most life on Earth.
No wonder they can live for up to 200 years and
survive trips to space.

SRACASTIC FRINGEHEAD

The sarcastic fringehead may have a chuckle-
inducing name, but this tiny, ferocious fish is no
joke.
Known for its large mouth and territorial
behaviour, they are ambush feeders and
aggressively attack their prey - usually
crustaceans.
They are native to Southern California and Baja,
Mexico.

Whether in the crystal clear waters of the
Caribbean or off the coast of Australia and
Tasmania, some of the world's most beautiful
oceans also contain the world's most nightmare-
inducing creatures.
Often dwelling at the bottom of the sea and
rarely seen by humans, Distractify compiled a
list of the creepiest underwater animals around.
Behold the best of the bunch and good luck
getting into the water after this.

THE GOBLIN SHARK

The goblin shark is a deep-sea dwelling animal
with a whole lot of very sharp teeth.
Thankfully, it poses no threat to humans as it
mostly eats bottom-feeding fish.
While very little is known about the elusive
creature, it is believed to have a wide global
distribution having been spotted everywhere
from the Gulf of Mexico to Japan.
