9 Dumbest Myths About People

  1. Gene Simmons Tongue

2

  • Gene Simmons iconic and impossibly long tongue has been a music sex symbol for decades. But some think it isn’t…human.
  • The ridiculous length of it has created a myth that Gene actually has been have surgery to make it that way. And even longer. How? By adding parts of Cow’s tongues to his own creating some kind of Frankentongue!
  • Unfortunately Gene isn’t the mad scientist people would like him to be, not only would that have a snowball’s chance in hell of working using human tongues, Cow’s tongues are not compatible with any part of the human body.
  1. George W Bush has an IQ of 91

  • When you make a fool of yourself in public…repeatedly…for 8 years…then people are going to think you have a mental disability.
  • George W Bush didn’t have the most impressive political career when it comes to “looking like a smart man”. Leading to the widespread myth that he had the lowest IQ in the history of US presidents at 91. Sounds legit right?
  • But there’s actually no basis for this (other than Bush’s actions in public). It seems the whole thing came from a report credited to an institute that didn’t actually exist. And surprise, the report didn’t exist either. Bush’s IQ has been since estimated between 120 and 138.
  1. Marilyn Monroe was a size 16

2

  • Everyone has that one friend on Facebook who keeps posting about beauty standards having changed so much because Marilyn Monroe was a size 16.
  • Unfortunately for them this is complete hogwash. While Marilyn was a curvy gal she was not even close to a size 16. How do we know? Because her film costumes still exist.
  • Taking into account that Monroe actually had a very strange measurements, most of her dresses would fit into the 2-4 category. Planet Dolan is all for body positivity but don’t lie to prove your point.
  1. Walt Disney was FROZEN

3

  • Everyone knows Walt Disney’s head was frozen so that he could be brought back to life in the future to make Mickey Mouse cartoons.
  • And yet its total bullshit. Most people have been suckered in by this myth that started right back when Walt died. No one is really sure why the rumors started but it was probably because he was insanely rich and what else would he do with that money?
  • The reality was that his body was cremated like another body and multiple sources confirm this. His daughter, his death certificate, his grave. All that stuff.
