Popular Myths in Science and if they are true or false

[ROMOSAPIEN9]

Humans are inherantly(sp) stupid....some more than others

Same could be said about all the rest of the animals.

There may be some horses/dogs/elephants ect...... That can instinctively know when calamity is upon them, and lead their families to safety. Just as there are leaders, and smarter people. The same is true for all the other animals.

Too much to explain I guess, but I believe that.

Yawning is "contagious"
Empirically, this is tough to deny; perhaps you'll yawn while reading this. The real question is whether there's actually something physiological at work here, and the answer is likely yes: even chimpanzees mimic each other's yawns.

BUT WHY?!?

I cannot confirm but I certainly wouldn't deny this one, as I, um....uh....what was I talking about again?

Sorry I fail to believe any chicken lived 18 months without it's head. No chicken even WITH it's head would live 18 months w/o food and water.


But it is kind of freaky to imagine a chicken walking around the farm w/no head for a good year or so after you've removed it's head.

One question: How would anyone even know a chicken's body "lived" 18 months after having it's head cut off? I'd imagine that body would of been de-feathered, deep fried, eaten, and pooped out long before even a month passed.

hilarious!!!!!!!!!!
