5 MYTHS THAT YOU STILL BELIEVE - VOLUME 2

We already talked about the 5 myths in previous article. 

Have you read our 5 MYTHS THAT YOU STILL BELIEVE - VOLUME 1? If not, take a look at it.

In this article, we have brought you another 5 myths that you still believe. 


1. Sugar Rush


We know your parents often tell you that you can't eat too many sweets. And not only because they can cause damage to your teeth or spoil your appetite before dinner, but because lots of sweets in your diet can affect your activity.

In other words, if you treat yourself to a chocolate bar or a piece of candy before going to bed, it's possible you won't be able to sleep or you can even start running around the house scaring the hell out of cats, fish, and downstairs neighbors. So if you still believe in this myth is a revelation for you. 

Some time ago, the American Medical Association conducted various tests and about 16 scientists couldn't find a connection between human behavior and sugar use. So, if you like to eat some sweet snacks before going to bed don't worry, stay calm and keep eating.


2. The Full Moon Makes People Go Nuts


Naturally, a full moon can affect people only if they're Werewolves - Well, you know right? Fur all over the body, sharp teeth, wolf paws, and a huge dislike for the potions professor.

In all the long and rich history of humankind, the Moon was attributed a lot of magic features and a strong connection with otherworldly forces and believe us the human wolves are the most innocent among this bunch of monsters. But in spite of all these creepy and mysterious myths, official science could never find any major connection between moon phases and human behavior.

Yes, many criminals try to justify themselves by telling they couldn't resist the moon light but their statements were totally made up.


3. The Highest Mountain


Now, tell us which is the highest mountain on Earth?

No, you didn't guess. It's not Everest because that's only 29,029 feet high which is almost 4,500 feet smaller than the place we're talking about.

The Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii is 33,474 feet high. So, it's obviously the first one in the list of the highest places on Earth. But how come nobody knows about it?

The thing is that the biggest parts of Mauna Kea is located underwater. So, technically, this is a semi-underwater Mountain. But this doesn't change the oppressive height, does it?


4. Big Ben


If you believe that Big Ben is this big watchtower, the symbol of the United Kingdom which you can find on lots of souvenirs and gifts stuff, then well actually, this is just another myth which is pretty much what people believe in.

Big Ben is really the nickname of the huge 14 ton Bell behind the scale plate of the gigantic watch. So, this Bell marks the time but nobody would name a whole tower after just one Bell. So, for a long time it's been called st. Stephens tower until when it changed its name officially.

Now, it didn't become Big Ben to simplify tourists life. He got the name of Elizabeth tower to honor the Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth.


5. The Highest Waterfall


Here's another trick question.

Which waterfall is the tallest?

Of course, it's not Niagara Falls and not even Angel Falls. Can you guess it? If not, we'll tell you then.

We're talking about an underwater waterfall and don't be so surprised. This is real. This nameless waterfall is 11,500 feet tall and it's located in the Denmark Strait, between Greenland and Iceland.

To be honest, we can hardly imagine how a waterfall can be underwater in the middle of an ocean. But sometimes, Mother nature can be incredibly mysterious.
