      You should change the thread title to "facts I don't know" because most of those facts are quite well known by anyone who's been online a year or more.

              False. I'm pretty sure [N]orth Americ[a], and [S]outh Americ[a] are the actual names of 2 of the continents.

              False. The tongue is made up of sixteen muscles... not one. In brute strength, the masseter of the jaw is the strongest.... in distance, it's the heart.


              And those are just 3 in the first 4. Glancing through, I'm not sure if others are false or true... but if batting .250 on the first 4 of the list is indicative of the rest, I'd say I'm sure there are others that don't hold water.

              Sorry to spoil the fun... but I'd rather spread knowledge as opposed to disinformation.

              Might be a good idea to check your sources and do the same next time, too.

                                    Pretty much all of them are not true.

                                    Any urban legend site will show you.

                                    I'm just a newbie.

                                          The unexplained statement that "the tongue is the strongest muscle in the body" appears frequently in lists of surprising facts, but it is difficult to find any definition of "strength" that would make this statement true. Note that the tongue consists of sixteen muscles, not one.
