Ubanana Water Resistant MP3 Player

There's certainly no shortage of waterproof gadgets out there for you to take along on your next swimming or diving adventure, but if you still haven't found an MP3 player that meets your needs, you may want to consider Ubanana's new uCan device, which is at least a tad better looking than some of the other wearable options currently available. You'll have to make do with a mere 1GB of memory, however, but you will get a decent 15 hours of battery life, and you can rest assured that it'll float to the surface for easy retrieval if it slips off while you're plundering the ocean's depths (up to ten feet deep, at least). Look for this one to set you back EUR99 (or $150), with it set to start shipping in July.

Urban Myths Exposed

According to Cracked.com these are five of the most repeated urban myths.

1. You accidentally swallow about eight spiders a year in your sleep

Why it's not true:
Spiders have a natural instinct to stay alive and crawling into the heavy-breathing hot, wet mouths of animals goes strongly against this.

Who started it:
Back in 1993 a columnist for PC Professional named Lisa Holst decided to prove that you could make up anything on the internet and people would believe it.

She did this by making up a set of facts that were utterly ridiculous, the spider myth among them (which itself was taken from a collection of insect folklore that dates back to the 1950s, and emailing her findings around the world.

2. You Only Use 10% of Your Brain (but if you were only less lazy or stupid you could use more)

Why it's not true:
The parts of the brain are specialized, so trying to use all of it at once isn't going to make you any smarter.

That would be like trying to become a better writer by striving to use all the keys on your keyboard in every sentence.

Who started it?
A series of neurologists over the past few hundred years figured out that a human can survive when parts of the brain are removed.

Over time, this was misinterpreted to mean that the brain uses little of its potential, and thus the 10 per cent statistic was born.

3. Men think about sex every seven seconds

Why is it a load of rubbish?
If men thought about sex every seven seconds it would be hard to get anything done. Experts estimate that 30 per cent of men don't think about sex during the day at all.

There are variants of this myth but none of them are based on any actual research. After all, how would they even arrive at such a number?

Hook electrodes up to a guy's head and have him walk around for a week, counting how many times the sex lobe lights up?

Who Started It?
No-one knows

4. You Must Wait 30 Minutes After Eating Before Swimming

Why is it a load of rubbish?
Because you're not a Gremlin. As you may have already guessed, water does not, in fact, bear properties that form a cramp of death, should you get in the water after eating.

Getting into the water after eating will have no more effect on your body than going for a walk.

Who started it?
This one actually comes from an old wives tale that slowly became popular over the years. Supposedly, your stomach is using oxygen to digest food that your muscles need to swim.

In actuality, the amount of oxygen your body needs to swim is more than satisfied, whether or not you've eaten recently.

5. The suicide rate jumps at Christmas

Why is it a load of rubbish?
Actually, the suicide rate goes down significantly. Why? While it's depressing as hell to be alone on Christmas, the truth is most of us aren't.

It's just hard to commit suicide when there's people around constantly trying to get you to wear ugly sweaters.

Who started it?
In this case, no one fooled us more than ourselves.

As you've read people believe almost anything on the internet. When you're looking for something please check that information on different websites.
