I'll give you a biggie that's been proven to be a big fat lie - I will paste the address to look it up - Have you noticed that Marujana has been rammed down our throats by medical professionals telling us "It's dangerous" - "Will kill you" and "rots your brain" Well it's all poppycock - The REAL reason this is being rammed down our throats by the government is because there is a plant in marujana called "Hemp" that can be used as highly nutritious food, it can also make clothing that will withstand the test of time and MOST IMPORTANTLY is a substitute for oil, it's true, men have made and ran cars using this plant called hemp but OIL is such a money making scheme by the government that they are fooling the world about it's alleged dangers and making us hate the drug in order to destract us from IT'S REAL BENEFITS - See for your self...

Answer 5

Pluto (the planet) is actually a large asteroid or comet and not a planet but since it is well known as a planet no one really wants to change the public perception.

"There are some who think Pluto would be better classified as a large asteroid or comet rather than as a planet. Some consider it to be one of the larger Kuiper Belt objects (also known as Trans-Neptunian Objects). There is considerable merit to the latter position, but historically Pluto has been classified as a planet and it is very likely to remain so. Further complicating the situation, one such object (2003UB313) was recently discovered that is almost certainly larger than Pluto. Should it, too, be classified as a planet?" (see source paragraph 11)
