Things You Thought Were True But Aren't

I never thought this to be true. I already knew this wasn't true.

This is 100% true! My cousins are 7, 9, and 14 and they go CRAZY HYPER during family parties after they drink soda and eat desserts.

You mean Giving children blue smarties makes them hyper.

No this is true.

Wow... How do I carry on with life after discovering he might have actually been a bit taller than me?

He was tall in the 1400s

Which is why the Sun is seen to jiggle. But that's also due to the gravitational influence of its planets. As the planet moves nearer to the Sun, at perihelion, its gravity attracts the Sun by a tiny amount, but this attraction falls at aphelion. What we see is this repeating pattern of gravitation, which is a method of determining whether a distant star has a planet orbiting it, and also the planet's orbital period, and mass can be mathematically derived.

Wait, people actually believed this?

Though they do rely on echolocation to hunt, they are not actually blind. They can see to an extent.

Most spiders don't pose as much of a threat as we're lead to believe. Most species of spiders aren't too aggressive and actually try to avoid contact with humans. While all spiders have some kind of venom not all are lethal to humans although they can cause swelling and can make you I'll. And spiders are actually beneficial to the environment.

This is false because most shark attacks are accidental. The only shark that is truly known to be aggressive and attack humans deliberately is the Bull Shark. Most other sharks don't attack us deliberately and only truly attack because they mistaken us, mainly divers and surfers, for their usual prey. Sharks are very misunderstood.
