"Woe from Wit" or the most common fears and misconceptions people

Today, there are so many different myths in the world of urban legends and strange stories about ghosts and all sorts of "horror stories". Today, we live in "false news" in the world, but many people have no idea that some of the fears and misconceptions "born" long before the arrival of man in the world of the World Wide Web. So, to roll out one or another "Fake-news" is necessary to make it more believable as possible. If a little to speculate, then, in principle, it can be concluded that each of these stories has its meaning. So, today we will tell you about the most interesting fallacies of people, who are most likely, most believe still.

1. We will swallow up 8 - spiders per year while sleeping

It is one of the most common myths that there is an among the people. But let's face it. A person can not accidentally swallow a spider at night. This is utter nonsense, and we will now explain to you why this is so. Of course with the mind, this theory sounds like a good idea, but if you look better, you can see how it falls apart under our watchful eye. Let's start with the fact that spiders are likely to do not really crave to be eaten by humans. And it is a fact.

Man during sleep (and not only) is able to quite scare spider, fright, as it is known, in the mouth does not climb, and try to go somewhere far away to crawl. Let us reason together, because we snore, breathe heavily, sopim, coughing, tossing and turning, and so on. These movements are a warning to the spider. Therefore, if the spider is not with you in size, and you are not a victim of his potential, then you have nothing to fear.

2. Bulls hate red

If you have ever watched the fight a bull with a bullfighter, then you probably know the reason why this myth exists. It is logical to think that if a bull is enraged at the sight of the red rag, which is waving in front of him a bullfighter, then this color is able to bring out the bull itself. But to be perfectly truthful, and move away from the conventional and traditional canons, the bull do not care what color cloth in front of him waving.

Bulls are very aggressive in principle, but this aggression doubled it on the show. In the scenario bull must attack anything that moves, chasing after his "prey." The red color of the fabric - it's just a tradition. Believe me, if you will swing from an animal before your eyes with a cloth of blue, green, purple and so on color, it all starts to still attack and will likely ride you on their horns or hooves kneaded her back.

3. Napoleon was short

Probably not the person who has not heard of Napoleon, the famous commander, the emperor and the French statesman. Most likely, then, that Napoleon was short, it is the most popular misconception among people, but today we scatter. In the world there was an opinion that the emperor because of his very small stature from complexes, and that's why went to conquer Europe. This belief gave rise to the so-called "Napoleon complex" - a phenomenon that is quite serious guys are very complex because of his small stature. And it is true! In fact, Napoleon had an average growth - 160 centimeters. But measurement in France then were quite different from the present one. If Napoleon was measured now, its growth would have amounted to 170 centimeters, which is among men mean.

4. abductors kidney

Most people have heard that you can not go abroad, because there you have something obkolyut, and you wake up in a strange hotel in a pool of his own blood, and without the kidneys. Of course, despite the fact that certain dangers overseas travel there, but seriously? Kidney Theft? Believe me, with "hospitality" You will not meet any one country.

The popularity of this myth began with the so-called newsletters. In January 1997 it was made public an email from some of the South American tourist, who allegedly robbed a kidney. Over time, the location of the infamous tourist varied as the circumstances most theft. Fortunately, the emergency services because no one called. And yes, I agree, very strange to send a letter to a stranger, while in such a state, rather than to simply dial 911?
