Ha!

A story on Yahoo News started to get me to thinking about home remedy’s, old wives-tales, and myths.  For example if you crossed your eyes they were going to stay that way or coffee will stunt your growth, or if yogurt could really cure bad breath all those things will be reveled.

A spoonful of sugar will get rid of your hiccups: a doctor got 20 people that had problems with the hiccups some of the having constant hiccups where they would get up to six weeks with them.  He gave every single one of those people a teaspoon of sugar and 19/20 people got rid of their hiccups. 

It will take up to seven years for a piece of gum to go through your body: this false accusation it takes a little longer but only by hours not years.  The myth came from trying to scare their children from not swallowing their gum.  To be honest I really thought it did take that long to digest myself.  The things you learn that are real.

Another one that I didn’t know was that if you shave your hair will grow back thicker and darker.  I really thought that myth was true but I was proven wrong that they just tell that to certain people that should shave, more and likely for women shaving their ‘upper lip hair’. Just wax it. 

Biggest Myth I found Walt Disney did not draw Mickey, Walt Disney actually had not talent when it came to drawing he told a friend ‘Ub Iwerks’ What he wanted and the man gave him what he wanted.  The first Mickey was made in two weeks.  However, Walt Disney did play the first voice over right of Mickey so technically he had some kind of say in the creation.

July 4^th, 1776 we declared ourselves independent of England.  However we weren’t free yet, the war actually took seven more years to finish before we could technically call ourselves Independent.  Why is it that we get all these dates but most of time they aren’t even real dates.  Like I guess Jesus Christ was actually born in March not December like we were told at one point.  Yet was still celebrating his birth on the day we now know as Christmas day.  Now we don’t just celebrate his birth because Christmas is actually a pagan holiday.  But still.

Cure for the common headache?  Chewing on something usually works out; most headaches are caused by stress that we deal with.  Stress headaches are usually cured but pressing down on a pressure point cause a release of pain from your head.  Another way to just relax your body starting at your jaw all the way down your body.  Now this can only be fixed from stress or tension headaches actual aches it would probably best if you went ahead and took some kind of pain reliever.
