Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is the book that will put to rest rumors, misconceptions, superstitions, and flat out lies that you hear everyday--also known as the book your mom never wanted you to see. Want to make that face for hours? Go ahead, it'll never freeze like that. Enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet and go swimming immediately after? A-ok. Have your dog eat off the same plate as you because his mouth is cleaner than yours? Better think twice on that one.
Includes index.
Explores more than one hundred tall tales, suspicious stories, and urban myths, revealing how each has been disproved, with facts about myth origins, historical significance, and how they were investigated by scientific debunkers.
