Do they put a chemical in pools that turns urine blue?

No, this is a story that mothers tell their children, so they don't pee in the pool. This myth was also popularized in the movie "Grown Ups." I am not encouraging you to pee in the pool though, so don't do it! -  John Baskin

Are Elephants Afraid of Mice?

No, elephants are not afraid of mice. Elephants are actually one of the more fearless animals in the world. Though they are afraid of noises that may indicate that there is a predator around. That is why people think that elephants are afraid of mice, because a small noise like a small mouse scurrying around might mean that danger is near. They wouldn't likely notice a mouse though, because of their poor eyesight, and large size. - John Baskin

Did "Coca-Cola" use to contain cocaine?

Did "Coke" originally contain cocaine? Yes. "Coke"was named for its two main ingredients, the extract of coca leaves and kola nuts. No one knows how much cocaine was actually put into "Coke", but the beverage did have some cocaine in it. They didn't want to take the cocaine away, because it was in the name. Anyone could make the same "Coke" formula, but only "Coca-Cola" could put the label on the bottle. They had to keep the name! They eventually did find a substitute that was much less harmful than cocaine. It still contained very small amounts of cocaine all the way up to 1929.
 Don't think that "Coca-Cola" turned millions of "Coke" drinkers into druggies. At that time it was common to put cocaine in trade marketed medicines (which "Coke" was at the time).

Giants Found in Saudi Arabia?

This picture has been all over the Internet. They say that they found giant human skeletons on an excavation in Saudi Arabia. This is false. It was actually a picture from worth1000.com, which is a website that holds photo editing contests. This was made for an archaeological find contest. It would have been all over the news if it was real.
