Pirate Mysteries solved


Knowledge of the seafaring robbers unveiled
-------------- ETHAN JOLY

Fact or Fiction: PIRATES


So much has been written about pirates in history and
fiction that the two often get mixed up. Here are a few
of the most common pirate myths.

Myth: The plank
Fact: As far as we know, pirates didn’t make their
prisoners—or anyone else for that matter—walk the
plank over shark-infested waters. This myth was
popularized by James Barrie’s novel Peter Pan.
Myth: The hook
Fact: No known pirate ever
had a hook for a hand. Again,
we have Peter Pan to thank,
with its immortal villain,
Captain Hook.

Myth: Treasure maps
Fact: Very few pirates are thought to have buried a
significant amount of treasure. Hence, no need for a
map. This myth was popularized by Robert Louis
Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island.

Myth: Parrots
Fact: This is another Treasure Island fantasy. Pirates
did not carry parrots on their shoulders. A glob of bird
poop running down your back is no way to inspire
respect in a crew.

If you hear something repeated often NEXT ISSUE WILL FEATURE SOLVED

true. Never mind that it's completely
false. Cases in point: Bats are blind,
tomatoes are vegetables, bulls hate the
color red, and going outdoors with wet hair
causes pneumonia. In fact, bats have
good vision, tomatoes are technically
fruits, bulls are likely colorblind to red, and
pneumonia is caused by bacteria, viruses,
or fungi.
And with that, you've just set foot in the
world of common misconceptions. So
please leave your false notions at the door
MORE SOLVED MYSTERIES as you enter, and let's explore some more
myths, shall we?
When people are struggling to get the
hang of something, they are often told this
to feel better: The genius Albert Einstein
flunked math when he was in school. As a
matter of fact, Einstein was excellent in

Mathematics" in a 1935 Ripley's Believe It
or Not! newspaper column about him and
LOLed. He knew better. Then he went
back to being brilliant.
But Einstein isn't the only historical figure
with completely made-up details about his
life that people believe are true. George
Washington, for example, never chopped
down a cherry tree and then admitted the
deed to his father. A biographer invented
the incident. Nor did Magellan sail around
the globe. He died halfway through his
journey, leaving his second-in-command
to complete the voyage. Equally wrong is
the conception of 19th-century French
emperor Napoleon Bonaparte as being
short. Images of him typically show a man
of below-average height, with his hand in
his waistcoat, looking edgy and in
charge. Sure, Napoleon was bossy. But he
was actually about 5 feet 7 inches (170
centimeters) tall. This was considered
average to tall for a Frenchman of that era.
Speaking of height, ask most people
"What's the tallest mountain in the world?"
They'll probably tell you that it's Mount
Everest. But ask an Earth scientist the
same question, and you'll get the correct
answer—Mauna Kea. True, Everest is the
tallest mountain above sea level, at 29,029
feet (8,848 meters). But the base of
Mauna Kea, a volcano, is on the ocean
floor, almost 20,000 feet (6,096
meters) below sea level. Add that to the
13,796 feet (4,205 meters) above sea
level, and Mauna Kea is the world's tallest
mountain by nearly a mile (1.6 kilometers).

All right, that was a trick geographical


question. Here's a more straightforward
one: What is the longest river in the
U.S.? If you said the Mississippi, you'd be
wrong. It's actually the Missouri River. It's
about 200 miles (322 kilometers) longer,
according to the U.S. Geological Survey. 

If you think history and geography are full


of whoppers, many scientific "beliefs" also
fall apart under the microscope of
truth. For instance, according to a
supposed fact, people only use 10 percent
of their brains each day. This may have
been true about the person who came up
with the ridiculous idea, but certainly not
for anyone else. The truth is, people use
large areas of their brains all the time,
even when they're resting.
Here are a few more scientific non-facts to
wrap your hardworking brain
around: Vitamin C prevents colds. (There's
no solid evidence that it does, except in
the case of extreme athletes.) The North
Star is the brightest in the sky. (Sirius is.)
Lightning never strikes the same place
twice. (It does.) Sugar makes kids
hyperactive. (There's no solid evidence of
this either, though there are still plenty of
reasons not to fill up on sweets.) The four
seasons are caused by Earth's distance
from the sun. (The tilt of Earth's axis is the
cause.) And humans have only five
senses. (There are more, including ones
that relate to balance and movement.)

And just in case you need to be reminded,


Earth is definitely round. Only certain
ideas fall flat.
