50 Common Misconceptions Debunked in About Six Minutes

At Geekosystem, we love knowing stuff. We’re not too picky on what that stuff is, we just want to cram as many facts into our heads as quickly as possible. That’s why we love Mental Floss, and particularly love their new video debunking 50 common misconceptions. They just launched a YouTube channel this week, and if this is the kind of stuff they’ll be putting out then we’re pumped. Take a few minutes to find out which common held “facts” are actually bogus so next time someone brings one up you can correct them and feel like a real smarty pants.
