Another annoying cliche is Hollywood's embrace of nonexistent laws of physics, primarily when weaponry is involved. First of all, everything explodes...EVERYTHING, no matter what. Also, in Hollywood, guns behave bizarrely and are 99% likely to fire when dropped....and no one bothers to acknowledge how many bullets a clip of a handgun or the chamber of a revolver can actually hold...they can shoot forever!

I should not have read this list!!! The brunch at the Myrtles Plantation, and all the wonderful dinners I have enjoyed throughout my life at Pat's of Henderson in Lake Charles, Louisiana, are the most delicious Southern dishes I've ever experienced, and is in the same league as home-cooked meals. I live in Texas, but my mom's family is from Louisiana, and visiting Louisiana has always meant scrumptious food. For those unfamiliar with gumbo, never accept a red one. The color is supposed to be brown, brown, brown, like the Atchafalaya River! The red gumbo is often found at chain restaurants that are likely unrelated to the South. Most likely, they don't make their own roux; there are some okay premade roux mixes if you really don't have the 10min to stir constantly, but you should make time for it because it is worth it. Lastly, never settle for instant grits!!! Just make 'em, they're easy. I have said that if I were confined to any one cuisine, it would be Cajun/Southern cuisine. There are ways to make it healthier or modified; fried things are great but it's not all that the South is about. This list IS archetypal. I'd like to know more about northern food, beyond the stereotypical coffee (everyone drinks that!), love of diners, bagels and Maine's lobster. That would be a good list, too!

It goes really fast, but I am not sure if it goes 100 mph; however, it leaves you hanging in the sky, and then sends you backwards on the same track like that tower. Neat list~ Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:27:05 +0000 http://listverse.com/2007/09/10/top-10-fastest-roller-coasters#IDComment88772024 http://listverse.com/2007/10/09/top-10-bad-male-actors#IDComment88748994 I think Keanu is quirky and not "THE BEST," certainly not a favorite of mine, but I think Paul Walker would have been more fitting as the #1 spot. I do like this list a lot, though; my fave corny moment of Orlando Bloom is when Gandalf had just fallen down the pit with the Balrog ("Baelrog?"), presumably dead, and Legolas says, "For me the grief is still too near" in the most unconvincing fashion possible. HAHAHA...it cracks me up just to remember it.

It's alright to used the word "claimed," it just means it isn't irrefutable, absolute fact.

Great list, I enjoyed it very much. It's good to hear that salt isn't so detrimental, that's one I still sort of believed. My dad really likes those pointless Dinty Moore brand meals that have like 1200mg of salt in them (like...just about one's daily serving). I know he has taste buds somewhere in there....I will know to suggest potassium from now on. (but I'm not backing down on my belief that those meals are entirely too damn salty) Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:25:23 +0000 http://listverse.com/2009/03/18/top-10-food-myths-debunked#IDComment88738695 http://listverse.com/2007/07/28/top-8-levels-of-scientology#IDComment88734158 Exactly, my boyfriend told me about that too. UNBELIEVABLE! He was fucked up on psychoactive drugs, as well as multiple stimulants, and people still think he's worth listening too? Also, Battlefield Earth is a terrible movie. Thankfully any time Scientology comes up (for whatever reason) people use the word "weird" at the very least. Thank goodness.

L. Ron was quoted as saying -- and I'm paraphrasing -- that the best way to make money is to form your own religion. Look it up! What a freak. And it worked!!!

The devil is part of Christian beliefs, so I don't think they would subscribe to one part of it but not the other. The ones I've met are not concerned with either God or the Devil. I wish all Christians could be as open-minded as you. You sound really smart.

You either believe something wholeheartedly, or you don't believe it at all. It seems very fickle and also strangely naive to just pretend other parts aren't there. How can you "kind of" or "mostly" believe something? You can just sample what you like from the Bible? When you read other books, you don't pretend like certain parts didn't happen...why the exception? There are people who don't believe me when I remind them of Lott and his two daughters. What a bunch of jokers.

It's a total mindfuck, and about as valid as Jonestown. It is designed for people who are either completely broken and thus vulnerable, or have one overlying, gigantic problem the organization knows they want to deal with -- for instance, your drug abuse. They wheedled you out of your money for non-specialized, biased aid, because the entire organization is based around money and bizarre rules and confines.

I think 15 is plenty! Also, I am also unsure as to how much acid you'd have to take for people's heads to be replaced with squids and octopuses. Sometimes I wonder who those little "experiences" were written by. It sounds like a more clever version of D.A.R.E. to be honest. It is worded strangely. This was a neat list, thanks for posting.
