That stupid Marilyn Monroe quote about not being able to deal with her when she's being a scatty bitch? Wasn't actually Monroe that said that.

Mental Floss ftw.

I got a Brier Score of 85.5% and 24/30 correct.

A lot of the questions I knew the answers to though, so that probably skewed things a bit.

But I'm also under confident in my answers.

Beat you. 25/30. :smug:

I am kind of sceptical about one or two of their findings, they are a bit over-confident about some research things being definitive fact imnsho.

Still, quite interesting.

I would have expected you to get all 30. :fuhrer: Try harder next time.

I thought the cells question was misleading in its wording :ninja:

Also wasn't sure about the chastity belts thing.

Also a lot of the myths are commonly debunked myths with more myths you know? Like I only knew the answers because I knew what they were gonna say. Because I subscribe to /r/TIL

I felt cold when I got out of bed and I've been mentally sluggish all morning as a result. I am going to eat fish shortly in the desperate hope it will revive me. :colone:

It's really strange weather!

That's so true. Often urban legends are detectable, not because you know the truth about the subject, but simply because they sound like urban legends. :yep:
