What is the most believable thing you have heard on the net that probably wasn't trueThere is something about the internet that makes me gullible to mad types of news that someone has made up out of cuckooland. It just feels sometimes that it must be true or someone wouldn't have written it I don't know. This one had me pondering:
Victoria Falls is unique among the world's major waterfalls. The bottom of the waterfall is the inlet for a geyser that propels the water through a series of caverns and back into the Zambesi river 850 yards (780 metres) above the falls. This was first discovered many years ago by an African woman doing laundry in the river, who accidentally lost hold of a dress only to see it reappear 20 minutes later, clean and bleached. |

I'm not sure about what I have heard on the net but I'm with you that the net seems to sometimes make me gullible. As far as what I heard that is very believable but probably isn't I can't think of anything right now but I'll post anything that comes to mind later.

Here's another good one:
ERNIE ERNIE, the random number generator for selecting winning Premium Bonds, was named after Post Office worker Ernest Tupp. Mr. Tupp suffered from a rare form of Tourettes Syndrome that caused him to unexpectedly pepper his conversation with numbers between 9 and 46. For the first 3 years after the issue of the first Premium Bonds, Mr. Tupp was used to select the winning numbers until he was replaced by an automated alternative in 1968. |
