Quote[/b] ]I'm sure everyone has heard about cottonmouths being so aggressive they chase you
I hate that one too.. especially because I have personal experience that proves that one wrong. I was on a trail ride at the ranch I go to, just me and the ranch owner, Shirley. Towards the end of the ride, we came by a cottonmouth in the pine straw, about 2' long. It just sat and looked at us. Shirley rode her horse close to it and agitated it, and since the snake wasn't cornered, it only turned and made its way in the opposite direction. Like any other animal, they aren't aggressive unless they have a good reason to be, like if they're cornered.
I also dislike the myth that women don't smell as bad as men when they sweat.. that is a total lie. There are two kinds of sweat glands: the kind that don't smell, which are primarily active during childhood, and the ones that do, which become active around puberty. Women actually have MORE sweat glands that DO produce body odor than men do.
Also, the myth that the universe was created only a few thousand years ago. I have proof against that: The galaxy Andromeda, the most distant object the unaided human eye can see, is 2 million light years away, meaning that it takes light from Andromeda 2 million years to reach us. If the universe is only a few thousand years old, we wouldn't be able to see the light of Andromeda yet.
Also the myth that women are always the weaker sex. Have you guys ever seen the training female cops undergo? They HAVE to be just as physically capable as a man and are in no way the weaker sex. So a woman CAN achieve the same physical strength of a man.
If I had the time, I'd sit here and think of so many myths I can knock down, I'd add three more pages to this thread TONIGHT.
