There's no reason one should refrain from swimming after eating. It's only a widely believed myth.
The largest organism in the world is a fungus that occupies about 10 km² (4 miles², 1665 football fields) underground in Oregon.
There's a fungus that invades the brains of ants and makes them climb up high, kills them, then disperses spores. If other ants figure out that the ant is infected, they'll carry it away from the hive.
Scientists have genetically engineered goats that produce spider silk, so that silk can be attained in more abundance.
penguins have their own form of prostitution.

That sounds more reasonable, but I'm not even going to believe that until I see a study. When I googled it (yeah, that's my source, got a problem?) I found no links to studies, only forums and Yahoo! Answers with people asking if it's true, and responders asserting that it's true or not based on their personal experiences. So I conclude it's a myth for now.
I just remembered that about a year ago I received a chain e-mail from my grandmother listing about 20 'cool facts'. I proceeded to look up every one to see if it was legitimate or not, and about 80% turned out to be myths. I composed an e-mail that explained why each one was false, but decided against sending it because I thought it might come across as cold to my grandmother. I wish I'd kept the draft though. :( Maybe I'll do something like that again and post it here, or start a new myths thread.
EDIT: Just made the thread!: http://www.dreamviews.com/f16/false-...9/#post1894556
But the question is "why is the pain that you talk about different?". Surely the chemicals which cause the experience of grief are no different for the first 12 minutes then the ones afterwards.
It's probably more of a personal belief than a fact.Quote:

I would think there's no difference but I know no science and I shall speak no science.Quote:

This thread could use a revival. Night vision goggles show images in a green light, because eyes can distinguish more shades of green than any other color.
Our eyes cannot focus well on the colour blue due to its high frequency. Often looking at a blue led for example will make your eyes tired and you will see a little glare around it.
I like blue. :(Quote:

The sky and the sea also have it slightly but you dont really notice it, only things like lights or computer screens or blue suns.
So that's why people get all disoriented when they see blue screens of death....
My wallpaper has blue. :PQuote:
