6.) The first fax machine was patented and put into commercial use before the telephone was invented
The fakes are 2 and 3. The tongue is part of a complex group of muscles, about 8 different muscles, all attached to hyoid bone and the jaw bone.
The Atlantic ocean is actually lower than the Pacific Ocean by 8 inches because of the water density and not by the moon.

1.) The heart of a blue whale is so massive that a human child could swim through its main aorta
2.) Because they cannot blink, snakes actually have a third, clear eyelid that moves horizontally across the eye to clear dust
3.) During WW2, the British government spread a rumor that carrots improve night vision to hide the fact that they had invented a new radar technology
4.) before he became a world-renowned artist, Vincent van Hogh worked as a missionary preacher in a poor Belgian coal-mining village
5.) If you were to uncoil all the DNA molecules inside a single adult human body, the strand would be long enough to stretch from the Earth to Pluto and back
6.) Due to their highly efficient circulatory systems, chameleons change color primarily to match their surroundings and hide from predators
The fakes are 1, 2 and 6.The blue whale's heart is massive (size of a small car) the aorta is only 9 to 10 inches in diameter.
Snakes don't have a 3rd eyelid at all. Instead they have a single, permanent, transparent scale called a brille and they never blink.
Chameleons don't actually change color to camouflage, they change color to regulate body temperature and to communicate their mood

1.) The Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure visible from space with the naked eye.
2.) Lightning never strikes the same place twice because the initial strike completely discharges the localized electrical buildup in the ground
3.) Honey is the only food that never spoils
4.) The "brontosaurus" never actually existed; it was just a mistaken mashup of an Apatosaurus body and a Camarasaurus head created during a 19th century scientific rivalry.
5.) Because sound waves require a medium to travel through, space is so completely silent that astronauts can hear their own heartbeat inside their suits.
6.) Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire
The fakes are 1, 2, 4 and 5. The Great Wall is very narrow, making it impossible to see with a naked eye.
Lightning frequently strikes the exact same place twice, especially tall, isolated structures.
While it was a long believed to be a mistake from "Bone Wars" (where the Apatosaurus was given the wrong skull), in 2015 the Brontosaurus is scientifically distinct enough from Apatosaurus.
Space is a vacuum, meaning sound can't travel, However, scientists don't experience total silence, their suits make many noises (life support systems - pumps, fans and oxygen circulation.

1.) Bananas grow on trees, and because they are top-heavy, the trunks are reinforced with a unique woody fiber that makes them wind-resistant.
2.) The human brain is completely active during sleep; in fact, it burns twice as many calories when you are dreaming than when you are awake watching TV.
3.) During a total solar eclipse, the sudden drop in temperature causes a localized change in the air pressure that creates a brief, eerie silence known as an "eclipse wind"
4.) The tongue is divided into distinct taste zones, with the tip detecting sweetness, the sides tasting sourness and saltiness, and the back sensing bitterness.
5.) Because of their unique respiratory systems, birds do not possess sweat glands and instead cool themselves down by panting like dogs.
6.) The modern image of Santa Claus (wearing a red suit with white fur trim) was entirely invented and designed by the Coca-Cola Company for an advertising campaign in the 1930s.
The fakes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. Bananas do not grow on trees. Bananas grow on a giant herbaceous plant (mega-plant) and the trunk are just overlapping leaves and has no true wood.
While the brain is highly active during sleep, it does not burn twice as many calories as when you're awake.
An "eclipse wind" is a real phenomenon, but the description is backwards
The "tongue map" is a myth, in reality all taste sensations come from all parts of the tongue.
Coco-Cola only popularized the modern Santa Claus, it was originally invented by a magazine called Harper's Weekly in the late 1800s.
