This Wikipedia entry was made for me: “List of common misconceptions.” It turns out that lots of stuff is visible from space, meteorites aren’t hot when they land, earthworms don’t duplicate when cut in half, Marie Antoinette probably never said “let them eat cake,” Mussolini didn’t make the trains run on time, Napoleon wasn’t short, astronauts aren’t even close to weightless, and nowhere in the Koran is there a promise of 72 virgins for martyrs.

Ha. Love it.
Personal fave: “Vegetarians do not eat fish,[11][12] nor do they eat chicken.”
