    I've heard the odd person say that Glenn Johnson and Daniel Sturidge are better than Nathanial Clyne and Rickie Lambert.

    I looked it up and found this:


    Which rather refutes not only the idea that the population of the world could fit in Loch Ness, but the even crazier claim of this site that "The volume of water contained in Loch Ness is so large that 10 times the world population could be submerged beneath the water."

    Surely thismay have been true when the population of the world was smaller? You know, just Adam and Eve? :D

    The IoW claim seems to date from the 1920s and would have been true then and remained true up until the 1960s.

    Pro Wresting has always been "fake"

    It didn't start getting fake or predetermined until between 1913 & 1918

    Just like captain Kirk never saying "Beam me up Scotty"

    Myself and several other people i know were convinced that a scary movie 2 scene had been edited when it was recently shown on tv. We are convinced the original line is "take my strong hand" when the man falls out of a window, but it actually was something like "take my hand".

    So weird that we were all convinced the line was wrong in the tv version :D

    I know I've watched more than enough over the years and known more than one.

    But a lot of people think it always started off as predetermined when in fact that is not the case.

    Just because most people use the word does not make it true. Fake indicates everything about it is untrue, wherein it is in fact scripted entertainment. The bumps taken are real, to use the word fake is to diminish the actions undertaken in the ring, which require great athletic ability and endurance.

    A common one is the "Women can multitask better than men" myth. Not only is it not backed up by science, but testing suggests the complete opposite. When you look into the origin of this myth, it was invented by an Australian women's gossip magazine, and was immediately picked up on by other women's mags, and is now taken as truth by many.

    I know and I hate using the word fake myself it's just that often when I have posted on none wrestling sites and used the word predetermined it gets into a debate why don't I just say fake to make it easier for none fans to understand

    If they really need the difference between scripted and fake explained, then you are just flogging a dead horse.
    Although an easy way is to state that they watch scripted shows and wrestling is the same, except the "actors" do their own stunts.
