Obligatory. - JanYpe, on 02/17/2008, -1/+102The latter depends on your aiming skills.
- Fhwqhgads, on 02/17/2008, -0/+84You just can't believe ANYONE anymore!!
- ElBeh, on 02/17/2008, -0/+82I swear, there are some Digg users who have memorized every single xkcd strip...
- JLecker, on 02/17/2008, -1/+70Wait, so I won't grow hair on my palms and go blind?
- BingoPower, on 02/17/2008, -2/+62'My father said masturbating would make me go blind. I said, "Hey, I'm over here dad!"'
- ElBeh, on 02/17/2008, -0/+59Rhinovirus is adorable.
- orijimi, on 02/17/2008, -1/+55They're wrong about getting colds from the cold thing. The first episode of the Magic School Bus is much more reputable. If yout ake your helmet off in space, your face will crystalize, and once it's melted, you'll have a cold.
- Pritchard, on 02/17/2008, -0/+52Buried as inaccurate. My mother told me these guys are lying.
- capo327, on 02/17/2008, -0/+47Funniest part in whole article:
"Dr. Katrina Schmidt, who is both a doctor and a woman," - todduh, on 02/17/2008, -1/+42My mom use to make us turn the light on when we were watching TV. "It's bad for your eyes!" One day I commented back, "What about when we go to the movies?" She hit me with a spoon.
- bs0l, on 02/17/2008, -0/+34Congratulations to Cracked for not making 5 pages for this list!
- ZephyrNinety, on 02/17/2008, -0/+33She also said she wasn't sleeping with another man too, who can you trust?
- Ninnux, on 02/17/2008, -3/+36Cracked: The definitive source for medical information and myth-busting. Love that site.
- TheAkolyte, on 02/17/2008, -1/+33Maybe your balls dropped between now and the time you last shaved.
- nomadofthehills, on 02/17/2008, -1/+32Obviously you didn't do WELL in school.
- DragonGirl724, on 02/17/2008, -3/+31lies your mom told you that are not listed here:
*don't cross your eyes they'll get stuck that way.
*you're not ugly!
*do good in school and you'll get a good job. - greenlight2001, on 02/17/2008, -0/+26It's a little creepy that you're telling kids to masturbate.
- neio, on 02/17/2008, -1/+27Kids, go ahead, masturbate.
Nothing bad's gonna happen. - cave, on 02/17/2008, -0/+24It's not a lie if they believe in it.
- Aadain, on 02/17/2008, -0/+19Just don't do it in the middle of class or while at a dinner party :)
- Nekiruhs, on 02/17/2008, -1/+19YOU'REDOINITWRONG! uuiU is so recognizable, get a new one.
- Adrianne, on 02/17/2008, -1/+19There is no scientific reason to believe that. It is just a way for parents to avoid supervising their children in the pool so they can go drink and take a nap.
- ledguitar, on 02/17/2008, -2/+19The cold thing is not true. Cold weather weakens the immune system which in turn makes you more susceptible to colds.
- nahsrocketeer75, on 02/17/2008, -3/+20How about the swimming after eating thing. Bet that's mommy BS, too.
- Skanadian, on 02/17/2008, -0/+17People need to stop using the same link. The last four characters make it really obvious to what it is.
- jebudas, on 02/17/2008, -0/+15"No evidence exists that feeding children a high-sugar diet will induce hyperactivity, despite the common belief that it does."
Give your kid a cupcake, wait five minutes. There's your evidence. I've seen this happen far too many times to believe otherwise. - tschau, on 02/17/2008, -0/+13I bought my girlfriend mad cow disease from that site for her birthday... Nothing says "I love you" like pathogens!
- Spyder2k, on 02/17/2008, -0/+13Holy random Batman!
- Aeyar, on 02/17/2008, -1/+13Does this mean there really are monsters in my closet?
- TheColonel, on 02/17/2008, -0/+12Well, then its not a mistake ..
- asherchang, on 02/17/2008, -0/+12You may strain your eyes, but nearsightedness is genetic. Baka
- WorldGroove, on 02/17/2008, -0/+12http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/watched+pot+ne ...
- faizal5k, on 02/17/2008, -0/+11"This is especially true when it comes to the human body (how many of you grew up with the "masturbation will make hair grow on your palms" thing?) where, as you'll see, mom often failed to do her research."
that just gave me a really disturbing image in my head :( - neio, on 02/17/2008, -0/+10I know, I re read my comment and I'm like, "Jeebus, what the ***** did I just do??"
- Typhoon2009, on 02/17/2008, -6/+16"Shaving does NOT make your beard grow in thicker."
BALLS. - MiDri, on 02/17/2008, -0/+10AHhh my cones!!!!
- UtahApocalyse, on 02/17/2008, -1/+10All I know is my hands did not get hairy and I never went blind :=)
- grungegbunny, on 02/17/2008, -0/+9Thankyou I think i'll take your infinite wisdom over these silly doctors anyday.
- JrGhoull, on 02/17/2008, -0/+8"It seems that you need to consume something more along the lines of caffeine, dopamine or crack to achieve any hyperactivity. " no more crack jimmy...i dont want you bouncing off the walls...
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 02/17/2008, -1/+9You might not catch a cold but you sure can get pneumonia.
- moletimer, on 02/17/2008, -0/+7You can never make that mistake twice. Unless you're a paid stripper or something.
- TheHim, on 02/17/2008, -1/+8It's never the less true that you shouldn't overeat before swimming, because the digestive system needs a good amount of your energy/blood after that. This applies to all sports of course, but passing out due to an overstressed heart is far more dangerous when you're in the water. Thus the old rule.
- offspring06, on 02/17/2008, -1/+8They called it a cold because back in the day they thought it was caused by getting too cold but now they know it is caused by a virus. I get more colds in the summer than I do in the winter.
- kurtergad87, on 02/17/2008, -0/+7I was more familiar with "it wont boil if you keep looking at it". It is an idiom and doesn't have to be true in a literal way. What it actually means in the direct sense is "staring at it is a waste of time, since you cannot affect the outcome". The first one is of course easier to remember and thus the one passed on in the collective memory.
The ambiguity of the sentence also means it can be used in other circumstances. You (the watcher) need to let other people (the pots) discover things on their own (boil) without nagging and teaching them all the time. It's called colourful language, and is usually effective at letting people discover the truth by telling them small lies. - lololololol, on 02/17/2008, -0/+7You sure god won't kill any kittens?
- TheHim, on 02/17/2008, -4/+10It's called a "cold", because of getting cold. When your body can't maintain temperature, it weakens your immune system and you increase your chances of catching something. It's not solely people interacting in closer proximity when it's cold outside, bollox.
- NOFXY, on 02/17/2008, -0/+6I thought that was caused because all your blood/energy was mainly concentrated on digesting food that you just ate, and if you exerted yourself swimming you get a cramp from the lack of blood flow to your muscles and you cant swim (because for whatever reason you can't just float on your back until it stops) so you drown. was i lied to? or does Santa still exist?
- bardamuclichy, on 02/17/2008, -0/+6Yes, but that is because of the rapid temperature changes, and if you sweat in the jacket while indoors, and go outside, it will give you chills. both which lower your immune system.
