Weird Lies You’ve Grown Up With

But What Do I Know?

The internet is filled to the brim with information. Some of it is solid, some of it questionable, but everyone can find the answer they want no matter how ludicrous that answer is. Just because someone claims that others claim that something is true doesn’t mean that it is.

It’s different now, so enjoy my research into the asinine.

Chris Farley already made fun of this in Tommy Boy. I’ll tell you right now what happened. Someone had gone snipe hunting; that’s when a group of kids take a kid they don’t like into the woods and tell him that there’s this flightless bird that’s attracted to light. They give him a flashlight, and tell him to shine it at an empty sack, which someone else is supposed to hold.
