Summary:
"There are urban myths about all kinds of different things, but how many of these myths are actually true? This book takes a look at many different myths, exploring their origins and assigning a 'fact' or 'phony' label to each after careful evaluation. Fun fact boxes and amusing cartoons and illustrations help explore common beliefs--can people get sucked out of an airplane bathroom's toilet? Do human fingernails keep growing after a person dies? The only way to find the truth is to keep turning the page!" -- Publisher website.
