Did you know...

, Edit
  • ...that Vikings didn't wear horns on their helmets?
  • ...that Christopher Columbus actually thought the Earth was shaped like a pear and everyone else knew it was round?
  • ...that bats aren't actually blind?
  • ...that instead of 5 senses we actually have about 9 to 20?
  • ...that the number "0.99999..." that is followed by infinite number of 9's is exactly equal to "1"?
  • ...that Buddha wasn't fat?


Neither did I until I read this interesting wiki article on common misconceptions.

    Thanks for showing me the article, it was interesting. Of all things mentioned by you, I had only known the 0.999 thing.
