  • Often antiperspirants create a cycle of dependency. They kill off some of the benign bacteria and favour the ones that produce strong body odour, so if you stop using them you stink.

    I grew up in a region where no-one used antiperspirant or deodorant. Nobody smelt bad. People have a smell, but its not strong.

    When I moved to the city and smelt post-basketball teenage BO, it was so bad.

    I dont use antipersperant. I have asked many people if I smell, all agree I dont.

  • My favourite is the belief that goose-necked barnacles grew into geese.

    The idea was started by the Norman scholar Giraldus Cambrensis in the 12th century when he visited Ireland, and was very popular because it meant that the monks who were required to fast and eat only fish during Lent could eat geese. Technically if they lived part of their life underwater, they must be fish.

  • From the article: "Maybe people mean that no inductive argument will conclusively, indubitably prove a negative proposition beyond all shadow of a doubt."

    While you are correct, its fair to assume that the above is what is meant here.
