Your skeptical dose for the day

| 2 Comments

Nothing too preachy today (yah right, I hear you thinking), just a Wikipedia article that I came across that I thought was a great list.

This is a page containing common misconceptions. It's always good to take some time now and then to re-examine those things we've heard four, ten, hundreds of times, and just assumed to be true.

Here's the link: Common Misconceptions. Do your critical thinking brain a favour and give it a run down! You'll feel a little bit more educated, and all for the low cost of only ten minutes of your time. If that doesn't convince you, then do it for the opportunity to undermine your arch-rival at the next part you're at when they start talking about how people only use ten-percent of their brains (WRONG jerkstore!).
