"Canola oil (name derived from Canada & Oil) is a genetically modified plant oil engineered to produce hypnotic effects and enslave the world to Canada's whim."

"Internet scams cost Americans millions of dollars each year."


Send me $1000.00 and I'll explain why this is not true.


"Sparatolum is a safe alternative to chicken."

Not only is this myth costing consumers billions of dollars each year, it is possible that lives are being unduly harmed.

Sparatolum is derived from the extraction of fluids from renal glands of Chilean rats. And of course on the surface this doesn't appear to be a problem. In the processing however when the fluids reached temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius a compound, known as Meraloxin, is produced which, while not fatal in small doses, can cause adverse reactions in humans that may lead to Stalaxation or even Obsutilian.

Many people claim the low cost of Sparatolum is worth the risk, buyer beware.

The Mything Element...

"E = mc² is a complex and confusing formula."



This mathematical formula has baffled many a scholar. But here we will show you a way to understand this equation in language so simple a child could follow.

M is a metatheory for T. Then there is a closed PA-formula H such that if T and M are both consistent, then H is undecidable in T, yet M cannot prove neither ~PR_T(H), nor ~RF_T(H) (i.e. the metatheory M cannot prove neither the T-unprovability, nor the T-unrefutability of the formula H).

Proof. Since the set of all theorems of a formal theory is computably denumerable, let an appropriate Turing machine enumerate all arithmetical theorems of T and M:

(T, A₀), (M, A₁), (T, A₂), (M, A₃), ... -----------(1)

The appearance of the pair (T, A) means that T proves A, the appearance of (M, A) - that M proves A. Our aim is to obtain a formula H such that none of the following four assertions can hold:

T proves H, T proves ~H, M proves ~PR_T(H), M proves ~RF_T(H). ----------(2)

Therefore, let us call a formula Q positive, if in the enumeration (1) one of the pairs (T, Q) or (M. ~RF_T(Q)) appears first, and let us call Q negative, if first appears (T, ~Q) or (M, ~PR_T(Q)). Our target formula H must be neither positive, nor negative. The enumeration index of the first pair appeared we call (respectively) the positive or negative index of the formula Q. The following two predicates are computably solvable:

a(x,y) = " y is the positive index of the formula number x",

b(x,y) = " y is the negative index of the formula number x".

Let formulas A(x,y), B(x, y) express these predicates in PA. Now, following the Rosser's proof method, let us take the formula
Ay (A(x,y) -> Ez

and let us apply the self-referential lemma. In this way we obtain a closed PA-formula H such that
PA proves: H <-> Ay (A(H, y) -> EzH,z)),

And so after a couple of quick calculations we see that in fact Oswald was the lone gunman.

Mythed by that much...

"The Julian Calendar was introduced by Julius Caesar in 49 B.C."


You can see two obvious problems with this statement right away without even running for the Funk & Wagnalls. (An encyclopedia, a book, you know words on paper. Named after Roger Encyclop a marine biologist, but I digress.)

First problem: Julian and Julius are spelled differently.
Second: It does not say introduced to who. (Or is it whom?? I can never remember.)

Many will say that since it was in 49 B.C. that they couldn't have known it was B.C., that's just silly use your common sense. The A.D./B.C. system wasn't widely used until 17 B.C.

Since Julian is clearly a feminine name, it is easy to figure out the inventor was Julie ( as she was more commonly known) Cezare, which is where the name confusion begins. And was introduced to the Romans in 709 ab urbe condita , which is Latin for: After Lunch or A.L.

" George Washington delivered the first State of the Union address on January 8, 1790."



I have searched "You Tube" extensively and can find no credible video of this event.



"The odds of being struck by lightning are about the same as winning the jackpot in a lottery"


Not one person we interviewed that had been killed by lightning has mentioned also winning the lottery. This first appeared in print in a book entitled "Let's make up crap, and see if they believe it!" authored by Horatio L. Longsnot in 1974.

In a side note, it has long been thought that Horatio was the brother of Albert Einstein. This has since been dis proven using DNA profiling, so stop spreading that lie!
