 |
|
Just pick something that has some common misconceptions and run with it. I'm going with college on mine.
Myth: College will be the best four years of your life.
Truth: College will be the best six years of your life.
Myth: Freshman year is to weed out the slackers.
Truth: Freshman year is for the slackers to break out the weed.
Myth: College girls are as horny as college guys.
Truth: If they were they'd be slipping roofies in our drinks.

Topic = School in general
Enjoy..
__
Myth: If you pay attention in high school, you will gain experience on many fronts.
Truth: If you pay attention in high school, you will gain experience on being a mathematician, historian, or drafter. And none of those will help you when you're making $6 an hour at a car wash.
__
Myth: P.E. teaches you to be fit and healthy.
Truth: P.E. teaches you to collapse a lung trying to run two miles when you obviously can't.
__
Myth: Many high school girls love a guy who's confident and funny.
Truth: Many high school girls love a guy whose penis and arms are the size of tree trunks.
__
Myth: The SAT tests are the most important tests of the year.
Truth: The SAT tests are ridiculous surveys that do nothing but tell the Board of Education how much your teacher is going to get paid this year.
__
Myth: Grad students will end up making lots of money.
Truth: Grad students will end up making lattes.
__
Myth: The school yearbook is a precious trove of high school memories.
Truth: The school yearbook is a precious trove of high school memories such as how your unrequited love interest signed her name with "Hi."

Continuing in the vein of school-stuff...
Myth: Physics is useful for figuring out important things, like how much energy will be required to get a plane off the ground, or how much time it will take for a car to slow to a stop before crushing a kitten.
Truth: Physics is useful for knowing how fast various items will be moving when they reach the ground after being dropped from your fourth-floor dorm room, and whether they will provide enough force to kill the 'tards standing around and yelling to people on the fifth floor when you're trying to sleep. |

Myth: Marching Band is for the dorks/geeks/outcasts of the school social life.

M'kay. Here's a topic that seems to have lots and lots of big myths: Alaska.
Myth: Everyone rides to work/school on a polar bear/dog sled
Truth: Indeed we do! See Snow Dogs.
Myth: And we all have pet penguins.
Truth: Penguins only live in the Southern Hemisphere. We keep lolruses for pets.
Myth: Everywhere in Alaska, it's dark for a month, so it would be an ideal environment for vampires.
Truth: Vampires don't exist, smartness.
Myth: Igloos are used by Eskimos as a shelter when out hunting. They really have proper houses.
Truth: Eskimos really, truly live in igloos! Some of the richer Eskimos have even gotten electricity and running water! |

What's the point in having electricity if you can't run the HEAT? Or the bigscreen (they put off lots of heat, you know).
