Hair myth: regularly trimming the ends does not stimulate hair growth. And the answer is: no! Regularly cutting the ends of your hair does not make it grow faster.
Any more?

Your nails don't keep growing after death.

In the days of Christopher Columbus, everyone thought the world was flat
FALSE. The Venetians for a start knew the world was round.

Yes, the Bible does say that Adam and Eve ate a forbidden fruit. But despite many Sunday school stories and visual representations depicting that fruit as an apple, it's never stated in the text as such.
PS I thought the whole Adam and Eve story was a myth.

You are right. There are many simple stories in the Bible, to help the people understand how the world began. The Bible is made up of many authors' explanations to explain prehistory. There is much advice on how to live healthily, especially in the Old Testament. The Bible still has the best code for living that was ever written down - the ten commandments.

Stigmata images are often wrong, by showing nails holes through the hands, when it was actually through the wrists as the hands are too weak to support the body weight.

Stigmata images are often wrong, by showing nails holes through the hands, when it was actually through the wrists as the hands are too weak to support the body weight. Roman crucifixion did not involve nails. The victims arms were draped over the T bar of the cross fully supporting the body . The ankles tied to the lower cross.

[Iron nails of all sizes were made by the Roman legion's blacksmiths in their workshop (fabrica) by smelting the iron ore and forming the nails by hand, producing a square tapered nail with a large head. The larger nails were used to hold the wooden stockade around the fort in place.]
