The egg came
first than the
chicken.
FACT
As the geneticist J. B. S. Haldane
remarked, "The most frequently asked
question is: 'Which came first, the chicken
or the egg?' The fact that it is still asked
proves either that many people have never
been taught the theory of evolution or that

The chances of a
coin landing on
heads are the same
chances of landing
on tails. It’s fifty-
BLUFF
It isn't fifty-fifty. If the coin is heads
up to begin with, it's more likely to

Stanford University recorded
thousands of coin tosses with
high-speed cameras and
discovered the chances are
approximately fifty-one to forty-
A person whose
mother tongue is very
different from English

accent when moving

THAT’S A SUPER
BLUFF
“Once you're an adult it takes longer, but it
happens. Especially if you're trying hard
and having pronunciation classes. It

Pakistan or if your English teacher is
French or if you live in Colombia . It’s
always possible to lose your original
accent and speak English like a native
speaker. Everything depends on you.” -
Jeremy Harmer, renowned linguist
A cloud
weighs like
100
elephants.
 FACT
According to the National
Center for Atmospheric
Research in Boulder, Colorado,
an average cloud weighs about
100 elephants, while a big
storm the clouds can weigh
about 200,000 elephants.
