Lies.

It's time we start chasing these lies out of the corner and shedding some of the light of truth on them.

I'll start with an prime example:

They say, "A watched pot never boils."  Bulloni.  I watched a pot of water come to a boil once.  Lies, lies, and more lies.

Come on folks, shed some light here.

    I've never heard that saying before, but I have heard "staring at a pot of water will not get it to boil faster".

    1) A falling cat always lands on its feet, and;
    2) A dropped piece of bread always lands buttered side down.

    3) So what happens if I strap a piece of bread buttered side up on the back of a cat?

    I've never saved more than four and the records is eight.  Close, but no cigar!

    Good job, people!  Tell it like it is!

    Here's one we all know and despise:

    "The check's in the mail."
    Right... and then you'll call next week and tell me the dog ate it or Johnny barfed on it or it's snowing.  Well, OK, it might be snowing!
