        Pluto is a planet, Columbus discovered America, deoxygenated blood is blue, camels store water in their humps, gum stays inside you for 7 years if you swallow it, the Great Wall is visible from space, the tongue has individual zones for detecting flavors, and Iraq definitely has WMDs.

        Don’t fault them for misunderstanding. After all, we can only actually use 10% of our brain.
