how many maxims are heard day in and day out that really do not make that much sense...
"early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealth, and wise..."
umm... no.
not if you work a night shift...
or if you suffer from type of degenerative disease...
or if you have the IQ of a rock.
I suspect no amount sleep can really solve cases like this...
"Oh, but these are just general sayings..."
But are not stereotypes just "general"
"That is not the same thing"
whatever.
"Feed a cold, starve a fever"
I heard somewhere that you should actually feed both.
and I think there might be something to the drinking liquids part of it too...
"Sweating like a pig"
you all know that pigs do not have sweat glands...
"Vampires are real"
Only in the movies and metaphorically - everyone else claiming to be a vampire is probably just a goth, suffering from porphyria, or is just a demon...
"Liquor before beer..." yadda yadda yadda...
the fact is, there are no facts without boundaries
Everything must be constrained to certain parameters, otherwise there can be no "fact"
"What goes up, must come down"
well... not if it goes up long enough and with enough velocity to escape the pull of the Earth's gravitational effects.
hey... if you were in space, which way would be up?
The statement, water boils at 100 degrees C... depending on the purity of the water and the altitude, that is easily shown false.
1+1=2? not in binary...
how much does it sucks that everything can be so subjective?
kind of like trying to take everything a girl says literally, although what she says and what she means can be on entirely different levels of existence...
how often do men get caught in the trap of doing what was said because, frankly, we are not psychic...
and that is a fact.

known fact, or is it...
