Myth you would like to see tested

[C(Sea)Bass]

As a part of my Biology I class I have to test a myth. I have absolutlely no ideas as to what to do. I was hoping you people would have some ideas for me. It can be anything but since I am but a lowly college freshman, my resources are limited so I cant do anything overly complicated.
If I see an idea I like I will use it and inform you of the results.





Spank you all,

Debunk the myth that all college freshmen don't know how to spell.

Thank you in advance.

Why, thank you JB. The resort photographer took that one when we were on our honeymoon.

I liked the last two augustradio entries.

Word.

I would but I like having my fingers attached to my hands.

Please duct tape some hot buttered toast to a cats back.
 toss cat out window.

1) toast always falls buttered side down

2) cats always land on their feet

project should hover/rotate indefinitely, inches above the pavement!









(I think Steven Wright may have tried this in the early 70's w/ inconsistent results ..strangely the cat survived 9 out of ten times)

I think PETA may have issues with that one....but it does raise an interesting debate....Cat side up or Butter side up.

People fly better on Aces high 2 drunk than sober.

Try that one.

The factual nature of donkey punches.

I think the toast one's something to do with the average height of a table and the rotational speed of the falling toast (as it starts buttered side up).

As it's a biology class, how about "you're more likely to catch a cold in cold weather."

Find someone with a cold - get them to sneeze on some petri dishes; refrigerate some, incubate others, and controls at room temperature. See what conditions the virus thrives in the most.

Nice and cheap experiment that basically involves waiting

The Last person that did that had an unfortunate accident.

His name was Jimmy.....something


But I will admit that the myth is true, I have a tendency to go temporarilly insane when presented with a suasage pizza. Everything gets surrounded with this purple haze and I cant remember anything after that....

There is an old Japanese saying that says that idiots cant catch colds.

There is a myth that there is still an odd conservative professer in each college, try to find one, if you can't, the myth is busted.

Debunk some home remedies....rip off MythBusters and test vodka as a treatment for poison ivy.  Rub it on, don't drink it.  Better yet, test drinking anything as a cure for anything else.

Test onions as a cure for bee stings.  (supposedly you rub a raw onion on the sting and it heals in record time).

Debunk the "hair of the dog" myth.   Drink yourself to a solid drunk. Get up early, reveling in your hangover.  Quickly down a couple beers.  It doesn't cure a hangover, it delays it

I can personally assist in debunking the myth that men of African decent are more "well endowed" than their white counterparts.

Let me know what you need.
