Truth That's Myth
from An Ounce - For Your Consideration · host Jim Fugate
Our world today is filled with so much information. Broadcast media, the internet, and books are everywhere. There is more information at our fingertips today than ever before.But, it might be a mistake to mistake a plethora of information for facts or truth –“Not everything you find on the internet is true” – I believe that’s a quote from Napoleon Bonaparte that I found on the internet. I’m sure you remember Napoleon – that short French guy who liked to pose with his right hand stuffed into his tunic (I always wondered if that was a persistent itch or an upset stomach). He even has a mental affliction named after him – The Napoleon Complex – the popular belief that short guys tend to overcompensate for being small by being domineering and aggressive. Well – Napoleon stood at about 5’ 7”. Just below the current average height for men in today’s world, in his time was considered above the average height of 5’ 4” to 5’ 6”. That's just one Truth That's Myth. Listen and find out a few more.
