We've all been hit by hundreds of them as kids. Those medical or scientific "facts" that make sense to a kid, but years later you kick yourself for believeing them. Examples include: "Don't make funny faces or you face will freeze like that..." "Turn off the air conditioner during electrical storms, it attracts lightening" "Walking barefoot in the house attracts bugs" Please send any that stick out in your mind, to: M. Kenig, ATT-IS, S.
