Join us as we take a look at 25 things people THINK they know, but are actually wrong. How many did you think were true?

    Every year during storm season a nest is blown from the tree in our backyard. We contacted a bird rescue about and they said not only is it ok to put the babies back in the nest, you can also make them a fake nest if theirs is destroyed. We used a plastic coffee can with some grass, leaves, and twigs, fixed it as high as we could in the tree, put the babies in it, and within a couple hours the parents are back and everyone is fine. Birds still use the coffee can nest and they don't seem to get blown out of that one

    When my son was born I resolved never to lie to him, always to tell the truth or what I believed to be the truth. Santa, however you wrap him up in tinsel and childlike wonder, is a lie, so I told him the truth when he asked. My proudest moment was when he came out of his school in December of his prep year, 5 years old, angry that when he told the other kids that Santa wasn't real they wouldn't believe him. Since then he has grown up intelligent, rational, and making up his own mind what is truth or lie, and all those other kids know that he was right.

    One reason people wait 24 hours to report a missing person is because some cops tell people that. Whether its because some cops are ignorant or lazy is unknown, but some do say that. Some cops will act immediately and like you said, some people are saved by quick acting cops and sometimes people are lost and it is unknown if things would've been different if the cop wasn't lazy or ignorant.

    I used to dog train professionally. The idiom/saying, “can’t teach an old dog new tricks” was a thorn in my side. I would have to explain you can teach an old dog new tricks but if it’s a learned behavior it just takes a bit longer to break the old habit and establish the new habit. Sometimes there is a customer that just won’t let sleeping dogs lie and pushes back…then we (dog trainers) have our work cut out for us. I am SO glad y’all are back to it; missed y’all’s videos! ❤

    And an easy way to tell if you have any form of degenerative brain disorder is to close your eyes, hold your arm down your side, raise it to the side up to shoulder height, then bring your hand around to touch your nose. If you miss, more so on multiple tries, your proprioception is on it’s way out, and is sometimes an early sign of dementia.

    I know you wrote your comment months ago, but I wanted to add that this proprioception you mention is what great athletes possess in spades. Magic Johnson was once asked how he was able to be such a great "no-look" passer of the basketball. He said that not only did he have a great sense of where his body was on the court, but he also felt like there was a "string" stretched between his body and each of the bodies of the other players running down the court with him as he dribbled. He said he "felt" those strings getting shorter or longer as the people around him moved relative to his position. So only sometimes did he actually have to find them with his vision before being able to pass the ball to them at just the right moment. I myself was not a great shooter of the basketball, but I heard gasps when without looking I dotted someone right in their hands with the ball . I knew exactly what Magic was talking about, so I've remembered his comment for several decades now. I didn't know there was a term for this sense, so, thanks!

    I forget where, I think its in Norway somewhere, but there is a body of water or an estuary, that gets struck by lightning sometimes hundreds of times a day. Surely any structure there must have been hit thousands of times over the years. Now if we could just come up with a kind of storage medium that could survive the massive spike in electricity, and put it there, forget solar and wind power, run your stuff with lightning!

    Adam and Eve's sin was a bit more specific: They ate off (of the fruit of) the tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. But yeah, no actual mention of what the fruit was. There are actually many instances of this in the Bible where the translator was unsure of what mineral, gem, plant, etc was being referred to. So they picked a likely one and went with it.

Is the idea that people only use 10% (or 5 or 15) of their brain. This was never from any medical or scientific journal. It's from How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. If it were true, a stoke wouldn't be such a bad thing. We use all of our brain, just some parts more at some times, and other parts at others, bur we use all.of it.

    13:23 The black-garb of hooded ninjas actually began in Japanese theater. Often, minimal staging and black curtains used. A ninja was to blend in with the surroundings (dressed as anyone else would if he "working" at a dock, a market, an office, etc) so if a ninja were in the script, they garb them in all black: the actor would then be unnoticed, unseen, until the ninja went into action. Filmmakers then lifted the ninja look directly from the stage.

    You will not swallow your Tongue during a seizure, unless well you're unlucky enough to bite it off. While the Tongue can obstruct the airway, you won't swallow it. Please don't stick something in someone's mouth during a seizure. If you do, that can obstruct the airway even more, or if it is your finger you may lose it. During a seizure, the person may clench their jaw, and anything in the mouth at the time will more than likely become a problem. The best thing to do, it to make sure they aren't banging their head off the ground and roll them on their left side if possible. Do not strike the person, or attempt to hold them down. This can cause more damage than the actual seizure, and for got sake don't start CPR on them in mid seizure.

    Here's one from the rural areas, primarily east of the Mississippi River and south of the Mason-Dixon Line: "If you take a bitch out hunting when she's close to whelping, it'll make the pups gun-shy." This is what's referred to as an "Old Wives' Tale". I think it was meant to scare husbands out of going hunting and staying home. My dad used to breed Black and Tan Coonhounds, a sporting dog bred for hunting raccoons. Sandy, our damme, was taken out hunting until 3 days before she threw her litter (9 pups). NONE of her pups were gun-shy, especially the runt which my mother kept and trained.

    9. The idea the Ninja wore black comes from one type of Kabuki theatre. To make the Ninja appear magical, appear and disappear on stage, they would wear all black against a black background. Under the low lantern light, the actors could move around the stage unseen, and appear by flicking off hoods and showing the uncovered palms of their hands. The hooded gi and covers over the back of the hands seen in Hollywood and sometimes in real Ninjutsu is purely an artistic licence. Indeed, the true Ninja blended in by being exactly the same as everyone else.
