In this article we will discuss about some fictions that everyone knows and they believe in it. There are so many things we hear from YouTube, T.V., and from other sources that are not actually true and we all believe them blindly.

1. 8 Glasses Of Water Per Day

I am 95% sure that you all know this fact that an average human should drink at least 8 glasses of water per day right! But who told us that, I mean is there any explanation behind it or not. Most of the doctors don’t know that why we have to drink more than 8 glass of water and there is no proper research on that. Firstly this fact was published in an article of food and nutrition board of the national research council in 1945 and in that article it was written that we have to consume around 2.5 liters of water daily mean 8 glasses but there is one more line was written just below it as most of us consume this quantity of water by other sources likes food and other drinks. If someone suffers from the extra shortage of water then it will easily covered up by other foods and vegetables he/she eats. Now I am not saying that you don’t drink 8 glasses of water, I’m just saying the amount of water you should drink is based on your age, weight, activity level and daily food consumption.

2. Palmaris Longus

Some people have this weird part in their hands and it is called Palmaris longus and people think that if you have this on your hand that means you are genius. And the one, who don’t have it, possesses some other kind of intelligence. But once again this fact is not based on any valid kind of scientific theory or something; it is just some people’s thinking and misconception. The actually reality is that if you want to do some kind of plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery then doctor takes out Palmaris longus from your hand and use it in surgery. Basically we have Palmaris longus because our ancestors monkeys need it in hanging on trees, they uses this muscle for hanging for hours. But after evolution we human don’t do much hanging that’s why doctor uses this inactive muscle in plastic surgery. According to the studies almost 15% of people don’t have this muscle and others have it on one hand or may be two. But this muscle has nothing to do with our intelligence.

3.Space Pen

You all had watched movie ‘3 idiots’ right! I hope you remember that scene were rancho asked virus about why not use pencil in space instead of this expensive pen. So after this movie we all thought that this pen is actually expensive but it is not true. Foundation of fisher Pen Company had made this pen and they claimed that they invent this pen by using 1 million dollar of funds. But after that NASA tested it and bought this pen for just 6 dollars and they bought 400 copies of it. So this pen is just worth 6$.

So this is an end of this article, what you thought, is anything happens by putting lemon-chili (nimbu-mirchi) on car??
