I just can't stop posting today, apparently.
This is both interesting and hysterical.
Apparently that thing about eating 8 spiders while you sleep a year? TOTAL MYTH, THANK GOD. You hear that fellow arachnophobes? TOTAL MYTH.
Also? This part made me laugh aloud at work:
If at any time in your life you've had food in your hand near a swimming pool, you've heard this myth. You cannot swim until you've waited at least 30 minutes.
For some families, the more harsh "hour" rule was used. If you broke the rule, the implication was that you would get cramps, be unable to swim, drown, and die. This rule seemed to apply even if you stayed on the shallow end. According to this statistic, unlike air, water-to-skin contact has magical properties that cause the food in your belly to explode unless it is past a certain point in your digestive track.
Why Is It a Load of Crap?
Because you're not a Gremlin.
Yeah, pretty hilarious. :D
