Put Under Pressure Does Coal Turn to Diamond?

Yes, but the diamond would be very small. The process would also be very hard to complete. Graphite is made into artificial diamonds in very hot temperatures. Graphite contains a lot of carbon which greatly helps the process. Coal does not contain much carbon, so the process would be harder. - John Baskin

Does Applying Urine to Jellyfish Stings Remove the Pain?

No, sometimes applying urine to the stings actually worsens the pain. What you should do is remove any tentacles attached to you with a towel. Then rinse it off with water. You should then rinse the sting in vinegar. Be careful, because if it is a Portuguese man of war sting the vinegar will make the pain much worse. - John Baskin

Was Coca-Cola Carbonated By Accident?

No, the original idea for the beverage was to mix the syrup with carbonated water. This Myth was started because Pemberton, the founder of Coca-Cola, was making an alcoholic beverage, but at the time Atlanta was dry, so he invented Coca-Cola instead. Pemberton was a pharmacist, and later sold Coca-Cola in his store, but it still wasn't bottled. It was sold by the fountain. Pemberton's nephew was a journalist, and mistakenly said that Coca-Cola became carbonated by accident. - John Baskin

Were Fortune Cookies Invented in China?

No, most people think that fortune cookies come from China, but they are from California. No one knows who actually invented the fortune cookie. The person who invented it may not even be Chinese.  This myth was probably started since Chinese restaurants almost always serve fortune cookies for dessert. - John Baskin
