More Common Misconceptions

Leaning right into the leftover show notes from the last K103 Live Day, Jack is back this week to discuss a bunch more common misconceptions from the depths of science, culture, and history. Is the caesarian section really named after Julius Caesar? Does cutting an earthworm in half really make two worms? Will gum be stuck inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it? Once again, the short answer to all these questions is a simple NO - but listen along for a few adjacent stories and a handful of laughs, this time on Ordinary Observations. Host: Jack Williamson This is a podcast by K103 Göteborgs Studentradio.
