Everyone knows that spinach is loaded in iron and makes you stronger - Just look what it has done for Popeye's career. Well, Popeye was wrong. So were all of those parents that stuffed it down their kids' throats. In reality, spinach has no more iron in it than any other vegetable. This spinach misconception dates back to the 1950's when a food analyst made an error while calculating the iron in spinach. His decimal place was off by one place, suggesting that spinach had ten times as much iron content than it really did.

The Sambia tribe of Papua New Guinea believe it is important for young boys to ingest semen to develop into healthy, strong, masculine men. Therefore, it is common practice among them for young boys to fellate men.
Disturbing but actually true.
And speaking of the Sambia, both among them and among the people of Salinas, Dominican Republic, it is somewhat common for children to be born girls, and only during puberty to start developing boys (something called in Salinas, where it happens with about 1 in 90 girls, Guevedoche, or "balls at twelve").
If a developing XY fetus lacks an enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase, it will not develop male organs despite having male DNA. However, in puberty as production of sex hormones increase, the higher amounts of testosterone (which both male and females make) causes the body to start following the XY outline./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

The proceedings in the British Parliament are meant to be in private, even though they are now televised. So, if the MPs want to have a secret session, one of them points to the gallery from which the public watch, and calls "I spy strangers!", whereupon the House votes "that the strangers do withdraw."Comment
