The irony about the "Lightning cant strike the same place twice" is that in reality, lighting strikes the same places fairly often, because if it struck there in the first place is often because of favorable conditions in the spot for it to happen.

For those confused about 61, Mt. Everest is the HIGHEST, relative to sea level, not tallest, from base to summit.

[@gergelyritter4412]

There are at least 3 mountains you could qualify for highest/tallest mountain. Everything of course depends on the definition we use. The 3rd one, which I know is also a contestant is a "mountain" next to the mariana trench. I think it counts as the highest mountain if you start counting from valleys and consider the Mariana trench the valley of this mountain. This is not a question of misconception, but of interpretation. From where do you start counting a mountain is basiy the question.

[@ComissarYarrick]

There is even more to that stroy. When he was tried, he refused to plead in regard to his guilt. If he'd confessed, his life would've been spared, but he would've forfeited his property as he would no longer be considered a Christian. Denying the charges would have resulted in his conviction and execution because the system was a Kangaroo Court, but his property would still be confiscated. Dying under interrogation, on the other hand, meant he was still considered a Christian and his sons could inherit his property. So by refusing to enter any plea at all, he saved his family from poverty at the cost of his own life.

[@frtzkng]

To elaborate: 3- the 'fat' character depicted is _Budai,_ a folklore character from China, meant to represent a future incarnation of Buddha. 7- the Bible states magi bringing three gifts, gold, incense and myrrh; many seem to have reasoned there was one magus per gift, thus "three magi". The depiction as "three kings" is probably linked to an error in translation from Hebrew or Greek into other languages. 16- _vomitorium_ comes from Latin _vomitare,_ meaning _to expel_ or _to pour out_ [of]. In this sense, _vomiting_ meant _exiting_ [a building]. 23- Different brain regions are active for different tasks, so over the course, 100% of the brain is used. Everything else would be a waste as the brain alone makes up 1/5th of our daily energy requirements. Therefore 'unnecessary' brain mass would be eliminated very quickly as not having stuff that wastes energy is a large evolutionary advantage. 25- This misconception comes from Germany, where grading ranged from 1 to 5, with 1 equivalent to an A and 5 equivalent to F. Einstein went to school in neighboring Switzerland which used the grades in reverse order: 5 was A, 1 was F. Einstein had grades of 4 and 5 in math. 27- This one has two etymological causes: first, many Indo-European languages refered to _all fruits_ or produce as _apples_ in the past. Some languages retained this in words for potato, such as _pomme de terre_ in French or _aardappel_ in Dutch, both meaning _earth apple._ Second, the Latin word for _apple_ is _malum,_ which is also the neuter form of the adjective for _evil, malus._ The Bible originally mentioned _the Evil_ causing the corruption of Adam and Eve. Them eating a fruit comes from this homophone/homograph, and them eating an _apple_ in turn from the narrowing of what the word _apple_ means in modern English. 42- The saying stands in metaphorically for something to be unlikely to happen (again). On a flat or shrouded surface, repeating lightning strikes are extremely unlikely, while at exposed surfaces such as spires or radio towers, lightning strikes very often in the same place. 51- Alcohol drank when suffering from hypothermia causes a _flush_ because it widens blood vessels, which at first causes a warming sensation, but also makes you lose your body heat much quicker. Drinking booze when freezing will make you freeze to death even faster. 55- It only may increase the chances of being infected by viruses, as prolonged exposure to coldness weakens the immune system a bit. 56- Falling objects in air eventually reach a _terminal velocity,_ where the acceleration from gravity is counter balanced by friction from air resistance. At terminal velocity, the kinetic energy of the coin is proportional to its mass and thus stays constant, and, as it's.. well, a coin, its kinetic energy is not sufficient to cause lethal injuries by impact alone. 70- Diamond is an allotrope of carbon, just like coal/graphite is. Carbon ends up as diamond if sufficient pressure is applied at sufficient temperature.

[@tubester358]

[@pranavps851]

51 I think I have an explanation for why booze feels good in freezing conditions. According to the law of cooling, the rate of loss of heat is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and the surroundings. Booze lowers body temperature, which reduces the rate of heat transfer from the body. So booze does help people from feeling cold, without actually warming up the body.

[@SupersuMC]

Further notes on 27: Considering the fact that Adam & Eve made clothes out of fig leaves (which would be highly uncomfortable due to the irritation) and Jewish tradition saying figs represent sin (hence Jesus withering a fig tree so that no one would eat of its fruit again), it is highly likely that the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was figs. The Tree of Life may have been apples, but we'll never know.

[@gamersgamestorm8291]

2:00 Correcting your correction. None of the witches were pressed to death. Giles Corey, husband of convicted witch Martha Corey, was pressed to death after refusing to give up names that would lead to people being accused. He famously told the interrogators “More weight”. Another aspect, while dramatized in the Crucible, but did still happen, is that Giles hated the greedy land owner Thomas Putnam who tried to steal people’s land. If Giles was charged with a crime, even if not found guilty, Putnam could’ve gotten Giles’ land, but by dying during the interrogation, his family remained one of the few to keep their land.

By this point we need to fact check that fact check: It's a common misconception that people think it was a common misconception that people believed that Smith and White Star were being literal when they called the Titanic unsinkable; people knew that the Titanic could indeed sink because they were human beings and not Drax the Destroyer from Marvel Studio's _Guardians of the Galaxy_ series.

Thing is that if Murdoch had said "screw it, ram the iceberg", the ship *might* have survived, but crunching the front end of the ship would have killed dozens if not hundreds of crew members who were sleeping in the front compartment, and we'd be sitting here talking about how Murdoch was a psychotic mass murderer who could have just swerved out of the way of a stationary hunk of ice and let the first couple of compartments do the work of keeping the ship afloat if it got grazed.

The peasants were the lowest class in Egyptian society, but they weren't slaves. They weren't someone's property, and in later periods they could even own land themselves. Besides them in building the pyramids involved were skilled artisans: stone cutters, carpenters to build ramps and scaffoldings, sculptors and painters.
