When you die your hair still grows for a couple of months.

"When you die your hair still grows for a couple of months."
- Completely and utterly false, a total myth, the scalp shrinks giving the illusion that the hair has grown by exposing the subcutaneous hair.
Just begs the question what other 'facts' – if any – are also falsehoods here too.
"Nobody knows who built the Taj Mahal. The names of the architects, masons, and designers that have come down to us have all proved to be latter-day inventions, and there is no evidence to indicate who the real creators were."
Also false.
99.99% of historians agree about the construction of the Taj Mahal.
i.e.
It was built by Shah Jahan in the mid 1600's.
(It was built at about the same time that the puritans came to America)
The chief architects were Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.
I'm sure that if you really try you could find some conspiracy theorist that will say it was built by aliens or lizard people from the centre of the earth. But if you're going to make a claim that contradicts historical records, you'd better have some damn good proof.
It?s a very good website you have here,
Also the model T only coming in black thing is famously BS. For the first few years of its run it wasn't even available in black – red, dark green and blue were the chosen shades. It's a joke at the expense of Henry Ford's parsinomy that's got a bit out of hand.
what about the 4 knees thing?
"The Australian $5 to $100 notes are made of plastic."
Just one of the many things to stop counterfieting. The five dollar note, for example, on one side in the top left corner has some black lines. If you look at these black lines under a microscope on low magnifacation (or through a good magnifying glass) you can clearly read the word "fivedollars" written over and over again. (unless you have some super detailed photocopier, there is NO WAY you could copy that). They also have these small see-through plastic "windows" that are (usually) in a corner, that have patterns going through them. (which would again, be nearly impossible to replicate)
The ten dollar note, on one side has an even larger block of test that says "ten dollars" but on the OTHER side, I believe it has lines from "The Man from Snowy River" written on it.
THE MORE YOU KNOW
why not call this things that probably are not facts
