50 Things You Always Believed That Aren’t True

Sometimes it can be hard to separate fact from fiction, especially when so many of the "facts" we've spent our whole lives believing are actually enduring myths and misconceptions.

It's one of the better click bait sites. Loads fast and if you go full screen it removes much of the advertising. It also has clickable references for more information.
