Like that daddy long legs are the most poisonous spider in the world; their fangs are just too small to penetrate human skin. Well....with a little time with Google that myth is certainly destroyed. Suggesting that Google makes people dumb would be like suggesting tat the library makes people dumb. Granted, people used to remember all of their oral histories....but in today's changing world that oral history and that wealth of information is getting so large than only the autistic or severely gifted geniuses could hope to store it all. Google is your friend...just stay away from the pornz. |
I use QI to dispell commonly believed myths.
